    Well I rolled on it without thinking as I thought it was a new card. I won it, but nope I already had it.

    It won't let you roll if you already have one in your inventory, but it doesn't check what you already have unlocked in your deck.

    If I were to guess why they implemented this: the card is now a guaranteed drop from the chest which means you're no longer rolling behind the scenes to have the card drop, but rather rolling against anyone else who wants it. In theory this would mean you have better odds of getting the card and it's less frustrating than going run after run without seeing it. The fact people with the card already unlocked can roll on it though completely screws it up.

    I recall SE saying they were working on some means of checking what cards, mounts and minions players have unlocked when it comes to rolling need but I can't remember how long ago that was or if it's still on the cards (no pun intended).

    I feel like this is an unnecessary change that will result in fewer people getting the card overall.

    At the very least I can confirm that the card doesn't interfere with the minion drop as I saw both in the Void Ark run I did last night (rolled a 60 on the minion ).

    Wrong. I have 2 in my inventory and roll on them to sell for MGP.

    You are what is wrong with this community.

    So those ... what is it, 50 MGP for a 3* card? They are more important than another player being happy to get something they don't have yet?

    Oh come off it. Everyone has equal rights to roll for something. Want the card guaranteed for you? Ask your mates to join your party and have them pass. This is no different from the complaints I seen from people that get upset whenever someone rolls on gear they "don't need", despite the fact that you can use gear in more than just wearing it.

    Yeah, except that 50 MGP is almost nothing. It would be more akin to people rolling on gear they don't need and then turning around and selling it for the 350 gil you can get. They really should change it -- they likely assumed that people who already have the card just wouldn't roll except by mistake.

    Also, they did in fact implement the system to check if you already poses a particular minion (and mount I think) which will then block you from rolling. I had forgotten whether or not I had one of those Manderville trial minions just a couple days ago and when I tried to roll I got an error that told me that you can't roll on minions you already poses. They just need to include cards in that system (unless they decide selling highly sought after cards for almost nothing is the way they want the system to work).
