Rewards for tanks and healers

Tanks and healers should be rewarded in random and hand picked dungeon and raid content. My suggestion are tokens they can use to buy exclusive mounts and cosmetics. This would be awesome and make groups both random and non-random easier to form.

Sometimes they show for tanks that dot with a satchel of cooperation, I think: JACKPOT! Imma gonna be rich! So I queue as a tank and then wait for twenty minutes for the group to form. Why is that?

Unfortunately anything that has a completion point is really only a temp fix for queue times. Once the tank or healer has all the mounts/pets theres no reason for them to keep going, just like now where we out gear the content so theres no real reason to come back.
Unless theres was a ton of mounts with a wide vareity of appeal and there was a new set every seasons itd probably only cause a bump the first week or 2 and then the queue times would go back to normal once people got the couple they wanted.

Id say change dungeons to consistently reward more to tanks or healers then a world quests in about the same time(not just the sometimes up goody bag when queues are real long), so that when those roles have downtime they default to queuing for dungeons or raidfinder to pay for their weekly raid consumables instead of world questing or gathering but thatd have further economic consequences and possibly buff botting.

I noticed this literally last night. I dont queue in the group finder unless there is a satchel up. But i waited like 11 minutes, 13 minutes and about 15 minutes last night. I dont really care, its just wierd.

They used to have satchels with some really good stuff, like the time-lost protodrake. And the tanks cashed in big time. It was too much, even I agree that it was way too much of a reward.

As an almost full time tank i say yes please.
As someone who wants the game to be healthy and not push people to play roles they aren’t suited for, no thank you

Or a twist on the old “if you see me running” shirt.

“Tanky Boy. If you see me running to entrance, try to keep up”

Insta q isnt good enough?

Your suggestion doesn’t go far enough.

For joining a PuG M+, and timing the key, tanks and healers should get:

  • A free WoW token after every 4 dungeons
  • A free piece of mythic track gear (based on their loot spec) after every 2 dungeons
  • A free month of WoW after every 12 dungeons
  • The ability to issue a 3-day ban any DPS player they’ve grouped up with after every 2 dungeons
  • A signed foot photo from Knaifu after every 8 dungeons

Yeah this would be nice, can we implement this please?

As a healer, I love this idea

Didn’t we used to get runes?

Used to get runes and mounts, as it is now we get basically nothing so it’s not even worth doing. Not to mention half the time you even go for one now it changes while you’re queued to not offer the bag (think this should never be the case, if you queued while it was available you should get the reward even if it’s not needed at the top of your pop).

A free pony with every run still wouldn’t be enough for me to bother with gearing up, learning optimal routes, studying like I got a college test, and dealing with pugs. But that’s me. I’m old. :dracthyr_comfy_sip:
