GATE - Why is it still every 30?

I haven't won that GATE since about May due to very bad luck. I usually get blown away on the very first breath. Correctly guessing where to stand 5 times in a row seems so unlikely, and you need the win 10 times for the title.

This ^ I barely ever win it and now I'm pissed because the prize is 3k mgp for winning and they make it so hard to win. I become on the verge of tears after losing. Ive lost on the 4th/5th breath before.

I manage to win Any Way the Wind Blows once and never again... I don't care for the Achievements too. That's WAY too luck-base to beat it, at least give us a hint during it so we can predict where he's going. Not a lot of people play that GATE on my server.

It's frustrating. I've seen people sit in one particular spot and not move at all end up winning - but that feels very cheap and isn't really playing it as intended. Forcing players to spread out and having the wind appear on the largest gathering of players would make it much more engaging.

I think Any Way the Wind Blows should give Gil based on when you get knocked off. It's so painful to wait so long for that one and walk away with nothing.

Since it's 100% luck, it'd be nice if you got x amount of gil for each one you dodge.

As for GATE timing, it'd be nice if they shifted the time. Too many times I find GATEs spawning at the same time as unspoiled nodes.

If GATEs happened more often, it would just interfere with someone else and more often. I like GATEs at 30 because odds are I can accomplish something else in between them, such as a quick duty on my healer or tank classes, trial with DPS queue wait time, wait for Frontlines to pop, or do some crafting. If you choose to take that time to gather, it's all about which you prioritize first: gathering, or MGP gain? You cannot always have both.
