Charging for runs.

[Kosmos992k]

I think its less about punishing dps as much as seeing a potential market.

I personally view selling runs and things of that ilk as exploiting other players.

When I set up my guild (before FFXIV), we were a group known for helping others for the sake of helping and playing for the enjoyment of the game. Coming to FFXIV, that core aspect of the guild is inherent in our Free Company. In my opinion exploiting other players is disrespectful of them. I understand the point of view that there is a potential market, but at the same time I see that more as an opportunity to help others and perhaps make a friend or two along the way.

I will not exploit others for personal gain. That really is what selling runs is, exploiting others for personal gain.

I'm not going to sell runs because I am going to be too busy with the expansion content and I already will be running a lot of dungeons with my FC. The role imbalance, at least during levelling, will exist in my FC as well.

The reality is that the two dps thing is likely to trigger a substancial imbalance early on. That isn't on me. SE set up that situation and as a player, healers and tanks shouldn't be the ones who have to go out of their way to mitigate it. As mercenary as it is, it is probably better for dps players if there is tanks and healers selling runs because likely the tanks and healers doing that wouldn't be running those dungeons again otherwise and any dps they take through are dps others in queue don't have to compete with.

I said before tanks and healers are going to run as many dungeons as they feel like doing. Doing any more than that will in most cases require some incentive, either from a sense of duty to FC members and friends, feeling good about helping random people or getting some kind of material reward. For many, the second one isn't particularly motivating. For better or worse its likely going to be better for dps players if there are people hiring out there services than if it didn't happen. If it didn't all they would have is long queue times with no recourse.
