Gold Saucer is a content made to keep you in the game when you have no more battle content to do, exactly what the game should have in the dry period we'll reach soon. But, in, those mini games, you need to have some rewards, as an incentive. Most of them have MGP, but Triple Triad has cards that are only obtainable by playing Triple Triad.
Mahjong, doesn't seem to have any reward tied to it.

Yes, except that in those games, you only spend a very short time playing it...compared to the lifespan of an MMO. That's what people don't take into account when asking for previous mini-games. Sure, you played Blizball for hours in X, but in your FFXIV experience, this playtime would only be a blip on your radar. That's why Mahjong could end up dead in two weeks.
