Trash mobs - Lets give them a purpose!

Most people look at ways to avoid trash mob pulls. Sure they give us some gil @ 60 but what if they gave us something else? The answer! Beastmen/Kindred seals!!

Sure, trails are cool, but why stop there? BCNM40's and KS99's were all the rage back in the day. Simple boss fights with some nifty rewards. The fights didn't have any 'real story' to them, nor do they need it. Just some simple content thrown at us, and lets face it. This game needs it.


Only personal opinion about how it should be implemented is strictly NOT duty finder. Server only. This game lacks reasons for socialization with how easy it is to just queue into things. Things like this would very easily give FC's a reason to band together and work as an actual company instead of a fancy chat channel.

Make them drop materia.

Think about it. Suddenly you have hundreds of grade I materia just sitting around. What do you do? Take'em to mutamix. After playing the materia lottery for a few hours, you might walk out with a half dozen grade IV's per week. Might have to adjust the selling price of materia.

Honestly, I'd be happy even if they just had a little higher pay out. Gil is hard to come by for non-crafters, and a % of it is eaten up by repair costs. So, it would be nice if the amount of Gil obtained by running dungeons would be upped even just a little bit.

I think an "FC Bonus" of some kind is an interesting idea though. My FC utilizes my tanking services from time to time, but other than that we don't run as much content together as we probably could/should. i think they're afraid we'll all judge each other or something.
