Developer, please consider adding more incentives to some of the Trials Duty Finder

There is only so much your FC can do to help other members to clear. When you are able to gather a healer, a tank, and a dps and still has to deal with over an hour wait, there is something clearly WRONG with the design. Remember people respond to INCENTIVE, big time!! There is a reason why everyone is spamming Syrcus Tower now, it is THE BEST reward to get any of your alt jobs for gears level 100 and items to take it to 110, on top of that, 50 soldiery and 15 poetic. 30 minutes run yields the most reward. It is not the best way to get poetic rewards, but surely the fastest way to gear any of your other jobs that are not your main with a base of level 100.

Old outdated musty trials that are UNAVOIDABLE to progress need better rewards. IF Labyrinth of Ancients last boss drops 2 oils and 2 sand of time, people will do it a bit more, you may not get level 100 gears, but the 100 tomes are decent plus it drops items that can take your soldiery gears to 110. You can't try to get new players when the game is not helping them to clear contents they need to advance. Let's face it, people only do things if the rewards is worthwhile enough. Case point, The Hunt in 2.3 vs The Hunt in 2.4, simply changing the rewards, and you see a big drop in participation. It's still popular, but it is no longer THE BEST way to farm everything in one go.

Trust me, if Cape Westwind give your 35 soldiery tome and 5 poetic reward, EVERYONE will spam the bejesus of this. The same goes to Battle on the Bridge, simply make it 35 soldiery tome and 8 poetic will draw more participation from players. Leviathan, Ramuh and Shivah hard mode, will be spammed to death if you add the same amount of poetic. Throw in 10 allied seals for completion, and any new players will never have any problem completing these "no drops" trials.

Everyday I queue for four trials where "nobody will ever go" (hoping I will get a new person's bonus) and for Syrcus Tower on the Duty Roulette, you can easily guess which one pops the most, without fail, every single time.
