MGP too much of a grind

[Aeyis]

The only issue I see with MGP is as Angel said. Upping the MGP refund for card duplicates. Right now, the return is absolutely horrid.

Is 1M MGP a lot of points? Absolutely. But if you think about it, so is 10M Gil, and houses cost more than that, and with the way transfer rates work, 10m gil = 1m MGP.

So it's an investment of time and money to get those things. You need to devote a lot of time and energy if you want those 1M MGP rewards. Either that, or predict the future and win the Jumbo Cactpot twice in a row.

Those transfer rates only go up to 500 GMP. That means there is no effective transfer rate, or value conversion between Gil and MGP.

Why risk making every reward quick and easy to obtain, which then ends up boring any long term players by giving nothing to work towards?

I'll say it outright, since apparently it wasnt clear from earlier posts made:
The GMP price of the highest purchable items is too high by about 100%, by hardcore grinder's standards.If it was half that price, it would still take a long ass grind, but not one that even a hardcore grinder thinks is a little too much. Naturally this is in comparison to all the available prices, and their sum.
That's not a complaint of ''wanting it now'', its a logic/sober assesment of an items price.

And lest not forget that this is only a mini-game in the actual MMO. For anyone that has other things to grind, these prices are well out of reach. Even over the course of months.

It is MGP, not GMP. Might be minor but you said it right once and wrong twice in the same post so just clarifying.

xD I get confused a lot with abbreviations. In this case I guess its my inner gatherer confusing me.

I know that. I'm merely using that as a measuring stick for how much value MGP has compared to Gil.
