I'm kind of tired of the "gacha" on the Cosmic Exploration worlds.

the items will be worthless within a week anyway, so why even bother

wait a few days and buy them for 100k, lol

A few of the mounts have already dropped drastically in price LOL

That'd depend upon the rarity of items. Mounts and emotes would probably not sell below a few million for a very long time.

Agreed, I went back to do the Ishgard Restoration and the Moogle fortune cards were p miserable for me too =/

I would have to redeem them each stack so I could get worthless items and repeat when I was crafting for Sky builder credits which were often in the thousands too.

Finally, I usually always buy all the earlier old Cosmo rewards, but so far the new emote is around 17m and the spider robot mount is around 7m so I'll be waiting a few more weeks before they are more affordable to me too.

all phaenna items are below 200k for months, it wont take a long time. Give it 4 weeks at the very max

What I find the most annoying isn't even the gamba, since for the gamba wheel you eventually start getting most things if you're active in the content enough to just make your relics go up, and whatever you're left without because of bad luck you still have the market once prices have plummeted...

What I find the most annoying is the time actually spent to run all over the map just to gather trash junk like everything that's not a gold chest essentially. So the overwhelming majority of those dronebit endeavors. Feels like the content is really trying to make me waste my time, which is really something after the producer has been talking constantly about how the time players have is valuable in the past months. That has to be a joke.

I spent a full day doing the gold gathering loop until I had enough gold for 40 dronebits, I got the following artifacts:

I had 76 drone chests after completing all relics, took me 2-3 hours collecting them all, I got absolutely nothing worthwhile out of them. Great respect of my time, SE!

Disappointed with "archaeology" just being more gambling. I wish gatherers had some proper archaeological gameplay... *cough*

How it feels not giving a crap about Cosmic Exploration and not having to deal with the awful gacha system.

I mean I guess they need a way to pad out as much of your gametime as possible but doing that as well as churning out more recolors of the same boring mounts is kinda spitting in players' faces imo.

After playing around with it a little, this system really is a waste of time.

The only prize that's maintained some value is one mount, which I guess is a new one. So the pool is essentially: one mount. With 20 or so items getting devalued in the market, 10 low value items, and various worthless items. I think Controlled Chaos went from 200k to 2k in less than 24 hours.
So a lot of content that used to be good for gil, just got worse, and for what? So they could say they added a system? It's like the Crescent Isle chests all over again, but probably even more worthless.

I'm curious, is the market flooded with mounts that won't shift?
Or a quite limited supply that even though it is, still doesn't shift?
