Seriously? Why allow you to receive duplicated cards?

Perhaps the cards should be tradeable via their own trading interface. Make it to where cards can only be traded for other cards. This could be extended, as well, to additionally help combat RMT: Make it impossible to use the TT trading interface outside of Gold Saucer, and similarly impossible to trade regular items or gil while inside Gold Saucer. Place restrictions on trading so that people can't just trade a * card for a ***** card by immediately registering cards given to them and disallowing the trade of cards already owned by the recipient (ie, you can't give someone a Moogle for a Bahamut if they already own the Moogle). Additional restrictions could be in place to limit what ranks/rarities can be traded (ie, you can't trade a Moogle for a Bahamut, even if your trading partner didn't have the Moogle already, as the former is common and the latter is rare).

This would give a market for duplicate cards but help mitigate RMT abuse.

Was really disappointed to see the cards could be traded for some pitiful amount of MGP. It just feels like a waste. Yeah I have the card already so why care about the extras right? It's just that, not being able to give it to a friend really kills me.

You can get duplicate gear in the Coil too. Some groups get many duplicate items over and over instead of items they actually want.

This is amazing game design and let's hope it carries over to Heavensward. /s

Welcome to every MMO with random drops ever made.

They need to be worth more MGP in my opinion though. Selling a card for 5mgp is just depressing. You need 100x times that for an equivalent rank 'random' bronze. Even if you lucked out on rare cards, they're only worth a maximum of 50 MGP. When you earn more by punching a 'cur' in the gold saucer than you do for all the wins it took to win that one card you can't use, it puts things into perspective.

Personally, I've been hoarding them. If SE is good for anything, it's making useless items useful somewhere way down the road. Given that FVIII had a card modification ability to convert them into items, I'd imagine it would only be a matter of time until something similar is implemented on FFXIV.
