The new player bonus in Chaotic is great. Add it to other content.

From what I am reading in other threads, this content may not too friendly to new players in the future. If you have 23 expert players and 1 new player and that new person sucks, they will endlessly wipe the raid due to body checks.

I will not be surprised to see groups promising clears but they will ask to drive the new players character.

There's already groups you can find that run 7 man (up to m4s even atm) while you join as a "dead body" for a gil price. I'm not sure how this fight will translate well for those groups, but if it can be I can see them raking in whatever they set the gil price for.

it would mean people get their totems a bit faster. but would there really be more people willing to do extremes? there are quit some people just waiting an expansion to do it unsynch. would they really wanna do it synch all of a sudden just because there are more people to help them out? (or pull them through).
and the people getting more totems... they would get their 99 totems quicker... and what then?

I would absolutely grind out the extreme on content more if there was a bonus for everyone if there's a newbie. I usually just do the EX these days a few times then sit back and wait until next expansion to grind it.

I will never understand why you can only punish other players for savage re-clears if you've already gotten your weekly reward.

If I had to guess, it's probably to stop 7/8 statics from sitting in PF and selling clears all day. In FFXI, it's basically impossible to get in to endgame without paying mercs for carries and I imagine they're quite keen on preventing the same thing from happening in XIV.

A modified version for savage would be nice as well since it is currently the most unfriendly piece of content when it comes to helping others clear.
Once you got your weekly reclears done you are an active detriment to parties still trying to clear because you cost them their loot on top of not getting anything yourself.

that won't work due to weekly lock and how the loot works... sadly

That's why I said it needs a modified version. Even just everyone getting an extra book for clearing a floor with a first timer would already help a lot.
