Reward Incentives for Doing Content Properly.

[Vidu]

Each time a suggestion like this pops up, I'm wondering: If you want to do the content "properly", why do you need an extra reward to do so?

My assumption would be that one would want to do this properly because thats more fun for them - why isnt that enough? Why do you need an extra carrot?

Because people needs goals(like mounts) to motivate them to try. They know nothing of the fight when they see the mount, but they still want it.

The fun comes as they are attempting it with no foreknowledge of whether they would enjoy it or not.

You are basing your logic in a hypothetical fantasy where players don't like a fight because they never got the motivation to try for the first time.

He doesn't want the reward for himself, he says maybe it would draw more people to it. Let's say he has 3 friends interested, but you can't do it unless you're 8 ; maybe the 4 missing would join the party if rewards were there.
He wants a carrot to exist to attract enough players to form parties, some of them would be there for the fight, some for the loot.

There is an issue with this however and Dewslam pointed it out : different goals, different approach. The 4 people that are just there for the loot will be way more impatient than the ones there for the fight, and start become toxic / leave if it takes too long to their taste. And I can assure you there are way too many people in this game, in my opinion, that don't give it 3 tries.

But if we're just discussing the idea : why not also grant the moogle tomestones on old raid with condition of no echo and min ilvl ? With a bonus for first timers ? Moogle tomestone farm events worked quite well to populate old content, otherwise it wouldn't have had 3 iterations, and the rewards are not crazy jealousy inducing, just a nice to have, that could be what OP is looking for.

Novel idea: they could hand out older moogle tomestones for older content!
