AIN

[RinaB]

This needs to go. You shouldn't be missing out bonus xp, money and crystals just because you don't play a tank or healer. As much as people think healers and tanks are the most important, it's incredibly painful in any content when your dps is trash.

AIN is not a system to reward the "most important" roles, but instead to entice those to queue up roles that are less represented in the queues. Dps is rarely a AIN because the game is incredibly oversaturated with DPS roles and players.

Tanks and healers need to be willing to do the job.
Dps are a dime a dozen and easily replaceable.

As simple as that.

The AIN bonus isn't usually worth much anyway. Eventually you realize it's not even worth it on most roulettes at most levels.

I think SE should improve the bonus: If the role is bad enough to make a #strike, to convince me to play it they have to give me something substantial in exchange.
let's say some RNG item (minion, mount, consumable....)

Yeah, they need to make the rewards for it better. 7500 gil is nothing.

They also really need to rework the system because it defaults to tanks, even if there are fewer healers sometimes. It shows tanks 95% of the time.

It's not even accurate. Most of the time it just says "Tank in Need" but when you actually queue as a tank you just sit there for 11 minutes. Then you requeue as a healer, still "tank in need" btw, and it pops instantly. Also the rewards are garbage. If healer is in need and I queue up for it and have to drag a bunch of newbies through some painful slog for 14 minutes while they wipe and don't respond to anything I say like NPCs, I should get loads of gil or something. What even is the reward again, like an extra 10k? A rock that you can exchange for some materia? Big whoop tbh.

As for the latter part, it's not about dps being unimportant. It's about there being too many. Nobody wants to heal because the role is boring af and the community sucks ass at this game so all you're doing is carrying them. Ditch the in need system and just give people 100k to heal roulette content lmao. Or better yet, make healing actually enjoyable, but idk how they can even do it when the game is so watered down.

It’s 100k+ per day if you run them all. I know people who have been playing for years with less than 5 mil

Everyone has kind of proven my point here. I don't even play dps and I think it's stupid. Those "rocks for materia" save you an assload of money. I play a sage...so what? I can't do the content without a tank and some people to actually kill things so how am I better then them? What this actually encourages Is bad tanks and healers queuing for the rewards when they'd be better suited on a dps. So it actually makes runs worse.
