I agree with the OP WTH were you guys thinking? I spent a month looking forward for getting this for my characters, so I could have a multi mount, and then get slapped in the face with 200k MPG. So much for getting it on an alt, I now have to grind up the 200k MGP on my main. This is a major disappointment.

Make the scrolls from the goldsaucer, not the main attraction of the whole event.

This is just a ploy to get people into gold saucer more, because most people dont want to have to do the grind for MGP. The novelty wore off and people arent going there anymore.
