MGP too much of a grind

[Welsper59]

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.

Gold Saucer is not meant to keep you away from other content. We wouldn't see a need for an expansion or new updates if that were the case. You're meant to just go there to kill time (or if you have the drive to grind the hell out of MGP). So yeah, people will stop doing the content exclusively... I think that's expected by everyone logical.

Your reference to chocobo racing is wrong btw. Why you would be burning MGP is most likely self-inflicted. Being efficient about your time and MGP usage is important if your goal is to make more. The only expense 99% of the player base should care for with racing is the breeding birds, of which they're pretty damn cheap and you only really need one. You're intended to progress your birds pedigree to build up to great stats and abilities (unless you luck out early on). Feeds really only need g1, which you can buy for 1500 gil.

The packs, just like the birds, are a self-inflicted hurt on your MGP. There are ways around them, depending on your goals for TT (such as just trying to hit 30/60 cards). If you're trying to get the best of everything immediately, of course you're going to never have MGP to do stuff. Take some responsibility for your decisions lol.
