Prices are To hight (in relative terms)

[DracotheDragon]

EDIT NOTE: THE WALL OF (now fixed) MATH IS DOWN AT POST 8 IT IS GOING TO BE UPDATED AT 8pm GMT with numbers i have gained thank you


hey so i was talking to some of my friends and i think the Prices of some things are placed to high in comparison to other prizes as well as the way we earn MGP currently

so not get me wrong i love the grind in this, and it is very enjoyable, but something about the pricing seems off seeing how little we are gaining.

for example The NPC outfits the bunny outfit and high gambler are all brilliantly priced
1000 to 3000 per this is a nice amount that a lot of wins in Chocobo racing and gold saucer will grant youthis means that it will take time but it is a nice price to have This is a good relative price

Gamberler set, being a High roller means you earn high, this is a good pricing 100,000 for the main suit would show you worked hard for this.
bunny is the same as gambler This is a good relative price

Adamantoise (200,000) a mount that is double the price of the gambler set in relation it shows you worked hard for this mount and your going to brag to all of your friends This is a good relative price

but this is where we start hitting a weird spot
Cloud strife (1 million) a card that has good stats from what i have herd but when you compare you can get several cards from the world of darkness and other trials that are better, as well as a card that is basicly the best car din the game for free (if you win the tounyment 2nd best card being squall which is also free) this places this as a massive MGP sink, in my eyes yes it is a very strong card but ultimately useless, to a heavy collector by the time they buy this card.

Fenrir (1 million) this is the mount everyone wants, its no joke this is the sole reason most are going into the gold saucer, so they can ride there fave mount.
but, the cost of 1 million only means the only PLAUSIBLE way to earn this mount, is one of the following
beat the king of triple triad a total of 10,000 times (wins with 0 loses and 0 percheses)
or win a total of 14,000 chocobo races, now lets continue this each chocobo race is about 3 mins so thats 420,000 mins MINIMUM (again winning ever match and getting into every match, thats 29.1 days (24 hours no brakes) [fixed with proper math] CONSECUTIVELY. each triple tired match is roughly the same (give or take about 4 to 10 days)

following with the Gates that are random as well they will take at most 7 months of non stop winning to get close to possibly having the mount or card.

a more RELATIVE price is to half the mount to 500,000 and lower the card to in between the turtle and mount 300,000. this is a relative price that makes this impossibly long grind you have placed, into a much shorter time span, but it means it is not impossibly long to cause us to lose interest.

unless your planning to add in GATES, or attractions to make owning these mounts and card more plausible to our playing, then this mount will only ever be won by the lucky person who wins the jumbo cacpot.

please devs, please rethink the prices and make it more balanced in relative terms to the other things you have placed within the shop, as well as the amount we are earning. because currently it is as if we are the fat chocobo, and your holding the gyshal green (mount/ card)infront of our faces



TL: DR
Currently if you are FLAWLESS with triple triad and do not take ANY brakes, you will have your fenrir mount in 291 days if you try to include lets say 6 hours sleep per day that almost doubles to 2 years.
29.1 days, make it down to 12 hours aday it is 58.2 days half that again to 6 hours a day and you have it in 116.4 days almost 4 months solid
(corrected due to wrong math)

please re think the prices of your high reward items.


a good quote:
{i was pointed out i did a mis calculation on my math, this quote is still however good.}

something taking 291 days, without break is a tad too long. Lets say you only spent 12 hours a day playing this game, rather than 24, thats now 582 days, or 3 hours a day, which gets us 2328 or 6.4 years. Now yes, this is a gambling joint, so you could get lucky, and reduce that grind by an ammount, could be 10k a day, could only be 100. But taking it at base figures, not counting for good luck, over 6 years to get one item is more than ridiculous.
