I'd say boost the amount of gil. WoW had a mechanic that if you are maxed level and would get XP for doing a side quest...you would be rewarded with more money instead. I'm not sure of the percentage but I think it was like 5% of the total xp was given as extra gold instead...which adds up quickly.

However other than housing...there is nothing to spend gil on. I practically bought my crafting/gathering levels just by GC turn ins and would just buy HQ items and turn those in. Now that everything is maxed again...my wallet keeps increasing with nothing to burn it on.
Not saying it is hard to get. Just saying that right now side quests are not a way to play an alt through the game, and I think they should be. More options for play, and more styles. I personally like doing the side quests to level...or at least to break up the duty/kill farming grind. That being said...I don't do them at all in ffxiv because they just give nothing vs the other options.

Balance out the options by upping exp for side quests AFTER you do the main quest to get one class maxed seems like a good solution.
