Please adjust MGP rewards for GATEs/Mini-Games

Here are some things I think need adjusted

1) Mini-games

1. Cuff-a-Cur - Cuff-a-Cur should add a bonus for hitting over a 1900, say, 7-10 MGP reward?
2. Other Mini-games - They feel very unrewarding for difficulty given. Double the rewards on them? Moogle Paw in-particular has a terrible payout compared to skill/time invested.

2) GATES - Some of them need the reward adjusted, not by much but slightly higher rewards for the GATES that take time/skill would be nice. They also shouldn't charge you MGP to participate either, especially considering the context of some of them. The GATES play off like you're helping someone (Skin change, climbing to the top, etc.) and thus paying to enter shouldn't be required

Give them a value you want them to adjust to, what do you think is a fair reward?

By asking them just to "adjust" gives them no lead or a value to start with.

Moogle paw has zero difficulty

The worst GATEs are the ones that award 140 MGP and cost 50 MGP to participate... ugh.

The Cliffhanger GATEs should definitely pay out more. They aren't any easier than the other GATEs, there's no reason for them to pay out less than a third of those.

I do agree that paying to enter doesn't make sense for quite a few of the GATEs, like the Cliffhanger ones.

I've stopped doing Cliffhanger because the payout isn't worth the effort. Time of My Life is super easy and pays a decent chunk of MGP. Cliffhanger should at least pay out a similar amount if you reach the end with minimal falls.

Well speaking of mini-games......Ok I know this is not real life or NBA 2K.....but FTs are all about practice and repetition repetition repetition, that's why a lot of players have to "pre-FT" routines, to get themselves into that repetition mode.
What I'm going with this is.....the "hit" spot on the bar should be always in the same place (like in Gilga/CT mini-games) and not jumping from shot to shot.

I would like some sort of daily bonus for mini games or an overall increase of MGP to justify playing them. It's fun but there is Triple Triad and Choco races which leads to a better MGP income.

GATES seem like a moderate income, I don't think their rewards should be adjusted to much.

This.

There are 5 daily bonuses for playing TT with other players. With 0 cost, you get 180 MGP five times daily. Then it goes back down to 25 MGP. There should be something similar for the minigames, absolutely.

I agree. I've decided not to bother with GATEs because they're all or nothing AND require you to pay in. So all I've done is lose MGP on GATEs so why should I bother trying to improve on them when one screw up leaves you out?

I'm assuming you've never participated in or heard of simulated events lol. Those cost money to participate (and even just spectate), usually. You know, like say for example, something along the lines of that Walking Dead Escape thing, where your general goal is to survive till the end as you run through the obstacle course. It's not a free event or anything. That's pretty much how I imagine the GATEs to be. Events with actors playing the part, given the nature of the place.

As for payoff of the mini-games... yeah, I can see a small increase being acceptable. To be honest though, have you ever actually timed how much MGP you earn from them? It's rather high, for the amount of time it takes. The mog crane game takes me only 7-8sec to finish, with an almost guaranteed success chance for the 5 MGP (4 profit). That's 40 MGP in 70 seconds of play (see 1min 10sec). It'd be a lot better of a yield if they just allowed repeat playing, like with TT, instead of having to constantly click and accept. It's a REALLY good profit yield of MGP for the lack of effort needed lol. When I'm mindlessly waiting for something for a little while, I'll just spam that game and without even realizing it, I'm over a couple hundred profit in.

I think mini games needs changing from 1, 5 and 10MGP reward to at least 10, 20 and 30MGP. The GATES need to be more equal in terms of reward for taking part, having one give less than a 100MGP while another over 1500MGP is pretty silly. Make them all around 800-1500 depending on how well you do in them. The TT duplicate card refunds from NPC also needs an adjustment, perhaps 1 star refund 50MGP, 2 star refund 100MGP, 3 star refund 250MGP, 4 star refund 500MGP, 5 star refund 1000MGP.

I don't mind the smaller mini-games being bad. They're dull and terrible and you could borderline bot some of them like CT Striker or Cuff-a-Cur.

Cliffhanger is friggin awful for its time-to-MGP reward. Used as a baseline, Vase Off (1 delivery) takes like 30 seconds to a minute to deliver, and is repeatable if you fail, whereas Cliffhanger can take 2-3 minutes on a perfect run. Vase Off (3 deliveries) takes about as long as one Cliffhanger but gives over double the reward back.
