    You're not comparing poker to blackjack, here. You're comparing whack-a-mole to slots....

    But it's meaningless because it's not a direct comparison. Nothing about playing LoVM locks you out of earning money through the Mini Cactpot because you can gamble for one minute and then go play however many matches you want. You can also stop and play GATEs too, but I don't see anyone giving expected payouts of When the Wind Blows.

    The MGP earnings from LoVM is the least of its problems. I guess I just don't understand why you're comparing it to Mini Cactpot.

    The comparison is there because if you're farming for MGP, it's much much much easier to do the mini cactpot everyday than to do LoV.

    Obviously, if you need MGP right now and you can't wait, you'd do the cactpot then grind on something like TT or LoV.

    I couldn't possibly grind LoV for MGP. Malboro server is...well, last week during the very first tournament I sat in Chocobo Square for over 1 hour queued up for a tournament match. No one goes there, no one cares. At least Chocobo racing was thriving for a few months when it came out, but chocobo racing also didn't have to compete with Diadem farming I suppose, lol.

    On topic though, I 100% approve of Data Center matching for LoV tournaments, and maybe while we're add it add that functionality to chocobo races, it's far too boring racing 7 NPCs 90% of the time
