    My concern isn't about not having enough attractions (which are always welcome), what concerns me is that there is no substantial reward behind them. The rewards are all ground mounts (lol ground) and subpar glamour items (which are not even tradable so you can't even get gil out of them).
    I don't even care about the grindy aspect of chocobo racing, I just want them to give me a reason to do so.
    The problem behind not adding any real rewards behind these attractions is that once they get old (and they do it fast), people stop bothering with them.

    So what "real" rewards are you seeking then?

    Flying mounts (not gorund...), tradable glamour gear, tradable minions, tattoos, bardings, furniture.

    Maybe even have a battle square where you could only spend MGP to participate and you were given a different currency (say battle square points), you could exchange it for stuff related to battle (megapotions, materias, food). Obviously, not the top tier stuff, they could put for example HQ megapotions (the regular ones are already sold by an NPC by 1k gil), materias IV when V really start being a thing and level 50 2 star food.
    This would open the possibility to make gil through the gold saucer (even if we are talking about small amounts), so rolling its attractions would never be completely pointless.

    You know as well as I do that they will never make GS items tradeable or have any item be sellable for gil in one form or another unless you want to have everyone trying to get the high priced MGP items and then sell it back in the market with a ridiculous mark up or have RMT get involved somehow. You only find the GS pointless because you can't make a profit off it. I find GS pointless because there's really nothing engaging to keep me interested.

    There is a lot of expensive stuff gated behind specific things (unhidden maps have zillions of glamour pieces, materias V = just bubblypots) so I can't see why this would be different.
    Also, the RMT excuse is getting old. Everybody knows there is a huge amount of people in this game that uses bots, so who cares anyway. As for the "just playing the minigames for the sake of playing them", trust me that gets old fast, you need something behind it, I don't care if it's in the form of small amounts of gil, titles, glamour items or mounts, but there must be something more than what there is now or once people get all the stuff in there they basically have no reason to keep playing the minigames and GS goes graveyard saucer automatically (if they don't get old after 100 tries, they'll get old after 1000, it's just a matter of time if you don't add some sort of long term goals there, for some people it'll be the possiblity to make gil, for others it will be titles, but please nothing related to stupid cactpots, that's NOT FUN, it's a freaking lottery).

    Still no War axe as a prize. I still dont understand why they left some classes out of the weapon prizes.

    I say no to making Gold Saucer stuff sellable for gil, however I am for more glamour items. The choice is far to few honestly.

    The people who play legit and get screwed over by the cheaters. Knowing there is a problem does not make the presence of a problem acceptable. I know tons of people shoplift. Doesnt make it a good thing, nor does it mean "I dont care." because they're costing me money. Same with in-game cheats.

    But this won't change, or at least, it isn't likely to do so... they are blatantly not being dealt with. Do we have to keep hurting ourselves "making this" or "not making that" because of possible botting when there will be botters regardless?

    I would like to see a huge increase in glamour rewards, mounts and pets.

    Our list is stagnant and needs a refresh.

    I dont see a need to be able to sell the rewards but offering a lot more then they do now would be nice.

    The lottery should be a few numbers drawn each week, not just one. One for the 1M, a couple more for chance to win 500k...a couple more for a 250k reward etc, would encourage more ppl to try . as it stands now we dont even make the 100 back so fewer and fewer are participating.

    toss us a bone se

    Its stagnant for a reason, whether its the grind, the rng or just plain lack of variety, add some pizzaz to it se, its already lost too much popularity, hard to get that back if left too long.
