MGP too much of a grind

[RobinRethiel]

Seems you want Gold Saucer to be a place where you can gamble. I think it's safe to say that they purposely designed it to not be that, and I don't think they have any intention of making it so.

They wanted to make it a place where you can have fun, without any major risk of losing. You may not find that fun, and so Gold Saucer may just not be for you. If you're not finding it fun, then just don't participate. If you still want the items, just participate in the mini cactpot and you'll eventually get a good amount of items with very little grind.

Gold Saucer is not such a place to have fun. It's fun for a few days, because it is new. Then it becomes repetitive and since long-term goals are only able to reach with a massive grind, which is no fun at all, because chocobo racing is actually burning MGP and Triple Triad against the same person over and over again is dumbing-down, people just let it go.

Items with mini cactpot? Only if you are lucky, that's the point. Yeah, some already got 50k MGP by it. Others not even 10k and you don't get much for 10k.

And no major risk of losing? Gold and silver packs for the rare cards? Chocobo breeding licenses? You can waste there hundredthousands of MGP and can have NOTHING at the end. And of course this is an immense loss inside this game. You can easily translate the MGP grind to a gil grind. In the time you make 10k MGP you could also generate 1M gil or more. And then you buy four gold packs with these 1M gil aaaaaand it's gone!

It's a MASSIVE loss.

go for cloud + nanamo card if you dont want to risk to lose mgp by buying card packs

That's like telling a new player, who wants to collect the tank and healer Shiva weapons and by bad luck is getting no single one of them, that he should just grind all the nexus weapons. And I got over 60 cards, but I don't discuss this because of me, but because of hundredthousand other players.

They should really give people like you something to grind. Make it a big, glowing sign over your head, telling everyone "I'm the uberpro" for 10M MGP. No problem with that. Just give the normal people also something to do. Else they will just stop caring about Gold Saucer - and about FF14 in total, because the RNG and grind is annoying for many, many players. And you and your grinding friends, no matter how hard and often you play, you are just a single player, like them.

Square wants to make money with this and if they got the heart and soul of game developers, also want the people to have fun. So telling them, that many people don't have fun because of this and that... it's just about helping them, if they want to make money or people happy.

It's very easy to satisfy grinders. Just put something completely useless but unique into the game they can go for. But when Square starts to serve only the grinders, they will snub all others.
