If you honestly think this won't have a significant effect on queue times, then I don't know what to tell you. A good amount of people aren't going to sit into a dungeon for an extra 30 min for an extra 80 poetics.

A better incentive would be adding creation and mendacity tomes for the first daily clear.
Given the amount of people leveling dps and other jobs through story roulette you may also want to remember that this may make the queue times longer sometimes as i dont recall there being an algorithm that prioritises new players for the queues so for all we know to some extent it may shorten the time for new players doing it but then make it longer on off peak times.
