Charging for runs.

[Freerider]

So with samurai and red mage coming how reasonable would charging gil to level those dps through content as a tank be? Is there any rules against that specifically is what I'm asking because if not I dusting off my heavy armor for stormblood.

I don't know if that would be against the ToS or not but with the expected increase in dps ques you could probably make tons of Gil selling runs for Gil lol

or people will just grind at potd, fates, leves, etc...

DPS will have to run the MSQ dungeons eventually and PotD is probably going to be terrible to level with above 60.

People will almost certainly be doing this unless SE bans it. I know tanks which are talking about this and discussing what a fair price per run would be. Lets face it. Its not like SE can make them run dungeons otherwise and if they aren't charging gil they probably wouldn't be bothering save for FC members and friends. Stoping people from doing will just mean people who have gil would just have to have long queues like everyone else.

Except SE could lock out exp gains in PoTD once you reach lvl 60, just like L50 dungeons never gave out exp at launch. As for fates, if SE's smart they'll have learned from the North Thanalan fiasco and make any exp gains in non-SB areas incredibly slow as to not be worth...

Yeah but post 50 potd gets slow. Least in my opinion.

At 15-20 minutes per run and no more than seven runs per level, it's really not that bad. It certainly slows down post 50, but so does everything else.

Mercenaries are not against rules, but I was always amazed but this game's community undesire to help someone for 'free' like I saw in other games.

I am happy to help but I have my limits. There is only so many dps I want to carry through dungeons before it starts to feel like a chore and I have a lot of FC members who are looking to level dps.

You'll get called a lot of unsavory names, I'm sure, but there's really nothing stopping you from the exchange of goods and services.

Free economy, suckers.

I suspect it will be a sellers market. Any tank called a bad name can simply take solace in the knowledge that the dps that made the insult will probably be in their queue for a long time.

Of course we could all be wrong and it could turn out to be a complete non event. We will just have to wait and see.

Oh, no, I'm not saying it will or will not be a good or even feasible idea to try and sell tanking to other players. I'm just saying, it's a thing you can do.

How well will it work? Hell if I know, I don't buy tanks. I have people to do that for me already.
