Prices are To hight (in relative terms)

granted, but, please note, the time i calculated is all undisturbed time, meaning nothing but the activity, there is such a thing as placeing a long term goal to far out of reach, its more a deterrence knowing you will never get this unless you're insanely lucky, using what i have said about the price still makes it a long time goal but not an impossible goal, something that could be done in the mix of 2.55 and heavenward, but as it stands currenly the price they have placed is to high for anyone to attempt, even if you came 2nd in the jumbo cachet every week it will take you 10 consecutive 2nd places on the jumbo jackpot which in it self is a statistic nightmare to say. you'd have better luck WINNING the thing.


the distractions they have placed are good and fun, but in relative terms to the MGP we earn to what they expect us to pay, is out of balance..

please note as well this isn't the first time they changed the pricing of something. the hunts had the same issue, as did GC seal items.

Your math is off. By a zero.

Example:

Consecutive wins to get fenrir 400,000 (1 million / 25 sticking to the after win bonus)

1 million divided by 25 isn't 400,000. It's 40,000.

You seem to make the same error through the rest of your math too.

So to redo your math, let's say that you have someone intentionally losing to you in TT to help you farm, 25 MGP per match. If they're intentionally losing, you can work out where to place cards every match for you to win, so no thinking on turns, just click and drag. Let's estimate 3 seconds per turn and 3 seconds to start matches. 30 seconds per match works out to just under 14 days non-stop, 28 days in 12-hour periods.

Again, however, this is only playing cards against another player who's intentionally losing to you. It's ignoring any other potential gains like cactpot or GATEs, and is obviously going to take longer than if you could beat NPCs who give you far more MGP per win.

hmm so it is thank you for pointing this out i am correcting it now.

the math is fixed,

this dose significantly fix it (this is the last time i do math after not sleeping for a few days xD)

but still i find the price to be more of a deterrence then a temptation with the amount we gain
a lot of people in Balmung's gold saucer, openly voice there displeasure over shout, it is easy to see people who are unamused or put off by the high prices, i asked openly in shout what if it was 500k and most seemed to agree with the halved price

Your math is waaaay off.

i have fixed it

Honestly I don't understand the logic behind those prices.

They are acting as a deterrent from spending points in chocobo race items and the quality of the said content doesn't justify the long grind. They are maybe planning to sell a MGP boost in the mog station, eventually.
