Adventure In Need (Tanks/Healers who are we kidding) - Reward Ideas

[Delmontyb]

Talking with some friends in game and YouTube, about different ideas on how to incentive's players to tanking and healing, and outside of endgame rewards and currency (to replace XP when you are cap), an idea came up about the idea of an XP token to be used on the other jobs, so you could still tank, but you'd get XP that you could apply to other jobs if you wish.

This came up because we all have our tanks leveled to cap, so if we wanted to two man a leveling roulette, nether would tank, even though tanking is enjoyable. If there was a way to tank, but give our other jobs that XP, that would be awesome.

Anyway, just a thought, thanks for your time and consideration.

that's good in theory only.. your just end up with people with caped jobs that don't know how to play them.

You end up with those people anyway, so what gives? I have met proud ninja MAINS who insist huton upkeep is a DPS loss.

I just kindly told them that the 40 potency loss from Armor Crush was well worth the 15% attack speed. To which they replied I got the calculation wrong because they could do a Raiton instead of the initial Huton as well and the attack speed would prevent them from using ninjutsu because they'd get bunny all the time.

I stopped bothering after that.

Anecdotes aside, I really don't think the suggestion of the OP is suited to make the playerbase considerably worse. Getting good at a job first and foremost requires people to read their tooltips and connect the dots, practice only serves to reinforce one's routine. An Ice Mage can become a real great ice mage with practice, but no amount of practice is gonna turn him into a good black mage.

Gods I hate that.... I tank and honestly I hate having to dps while tanking, but I do it because that's how its done. I see players like this and I'm like.... "I have to do this, could you maybe show some effort and intelligence so I don't feel like a tool here?"

They already said they will be releasing a jump potion.
Chances are that a player that doesn't care about the game will never learn to play their job.

They never said they won't, and have said they are thinking about it.

But this is already a common issue, and this reward doesn't make that issue worse, as the player would already know how to play, but from a tank perspective... I set it's not a net loss, IMO.
