    As for QQ threads go.. The reason some people complain is for some the drop rate is pathetic even for not so rare cards. I have hard of behemoth being granted by king in first try, 3rd try, but average seems to be according to shout chat 50 Tries. Well I have won 200 games got 20 Godbert and still no Behemoth card. I am just trying to get 30 cards to start winning with as most ex parties are terrible, and HM drop rates are meh. Plus I can win against King Elmer while watching netflix... but still 200 wins and no drop is absurd when most seem to have gotten it with just an hour or two of farming him. I have spent 4 hours a day since launch on him and still not gotten it.

    this just proves the drop rates of cards and the prices of gold saucer items arent as bad as ppl are complaining about yeah the rare cards have really low % but thats how they are supposed to be

    imperial really seems like 1 of the best ways to make MGP atm since your almost guaranteed to win 100% of the time making a nice tidy profit off winnings n card sales

    I would say it rather proves the point people are trying to make. The OP used a near failsafe method of winning against the Imperial, and even then had to spend an enormous amount of time to get that many wins. Yet all of that and only 1/15th towards 1mil MGP.

    Besides, drop rates? Have you taken a proper look at the OPs image? oO
    Almost 300 cards and zero Gaius cards amongst them.

    Hell, that is even worse then the complaints ive seen about the droprates.

    Now that I've had some sleep, I use Amalj'aa as the bait card. It has about the same success rate as using Frixio as long as the AI takes the bait. If you start, place Amalj'aa at top center and use either Memeroon or Fruxio to take it back if AI falls for the bait, after that you'll have enough Ascension to not have to worry and just play accordingly. If the AI starts, place Amalj'aa in center left if he plays a card in top center or center right or if he plays Gaius in bottom center place Amal'jaa in center right.

    Winning with a full beast tribe deck is really easy as pointed out and you can probably work out dozens of strategies that work very well. It took me about 7-8 hours to earn ~50k and all those cards in the picture so I would wager he is by far the fastest and best NPC to grind for MGP if it's what you are after. I also made a fair amount of mistakes (really, try keep focus and sanity after playing the same guy with the same strategy for 6hours and you'll start to make silly mistakes). But even then 9 out of 10 messed up games will end in a draw and you still make more MGP than you spend to play him.

    the point is most QQ threads u see state that card drop is really low... the OP wouldnt have that many cards if they were as low as the QQ threads state... 5 star cards are supposed to be low rate to obtain, rewards the ppl who make the effort to obtain them not duel 20 times then cry cause it doesnt drop in my world theres already quite a few players with 60+ cards.. cant be that low right??

    heck even i have 50+ cards only 1 ive hard to farm more then n hour is thancred lol

    Card drop rate IS really low. The Indolent Imperial has about 25% chance to give you a 2* card, 5% or less for the 3* Nero card. I have no idea what the drop rate on Gaius is but for me it's so far 0% as I haven't gotten it and I played against him for 8 hours straight. And the MGP worth of the cards I did get was about 2k. Not even 5% of what I earned from sheer winning against him. It wasn't really meant as an outright complaint thread but I've been stuck at 54 cards for a full day now because neither dungeons/trials drop and I can't get the ones I need from NPC's anymore.
    I think I'm on the verge of wanting to complain because RNG is really going against me right now.

    I'm all for rare cards being rare, but it's not fun or fair when someone gets Gaius in 20 wins and I'm at 1000+ wins and still no drop.

    Not only that, I've been spending my points on gold packs to get maybe one of those 5 stars, and so far nothing. So I've literally been spending my time getting absolutely nothing.

    This is what drives people to botting. It's just poor game design. Absolutely no reward for effort, while random Joes walk up, get what they want, and then leave.
