    MGP too much of a grind

    Getting 1 million for Fenrir mount, then another million for Cloud, then Setzer glamours etc etc etc just makes the grind years long... so what i (and im betting everyone) wants are systems like: daily/weekly cap on MGP you can buy with gil (not just base 500 cap), gold saucer being added to the challenge log to give extra MGP per week, a trade in system like grand company has so you can give gear you get (while farming for cards/lights etc) to get you more MGP and perhaps even adding a roulette to duty list that gives you a random NPC to play against in triple triad, or a chocobo race to do (2 different roulettes perhaps) that give MGP like how low level gives grand company seals... this way Fenrir mount becomes something you can get this year, without having to rely on jumbo cactpot :P .... even just 1 of the above is better than what we have now

    Luck with the lottery and patients. These things were not meant to be obtained in the first week of release. It gives you meaning to visit the saucer and play Triple Triad with friends and NPCs. Don't think it should be handed out on a silver platter to everyone. The items are worth more that way. ^^v

    I manage to get 14 wins in 10 min 05 sec against Indolent Imperial. That's 1260 MGP of net profit. Doing the maths for 1,000,000 makes it equal to 133 hours and 22 minutes.

    For people without a job or a family to attend to, that can be done in about 10 days

    "Its my money and I want it now"!!! Call GK Goneworth 877-MGP-NOW. (names and numbers changed to avoid legal action) Of course its a grind, like other things in the game, should they just hand out the good stuff for no work put in? Everyone gets a trophy. Every gamble in real life? I've been grinding Powerball going on some 20 years and have yet to reach 1 million won, heck I would take 1000 at this point. Grab a helmet and get in line with the rest of us.

    Because 100+ hours of 'minigame fun' for a mount is a good medium between super grindy and a hand out; right?

    GTFO with that kinda logic please.

    Cost to obtain everything; let's say we put it at a meager 2 mil(which is actually a few hundred thousand short - at minimum). Arguably the fastest rate you can obtain MGP at the moment is about 5k~ hr give or take. That's about 400 hours of actual 'work' because to be efficient you have to grind something you will 100% be bored out of your mind with.

    But yea; totally 'everything in a month'. Basic math escapes people on this forum.

    My only gripe was that they put the new Aesthetician Hair Styles behind an 8000 MGP wall. Honestly wasn't there another way they could have done that? Why not a ridiculous amount of Guild Seals. Or Tomes. Or actually have made a quest that brought Jadaline back into the picture with him searching for "New inspiration". That 8000 MGP for the hair styles just makes me no longer give a crap about the GS's prizes. Heck even triple triad is so colossally rigged to make winning nieh impossible with out spending dozens if not hundreds of hours trying to break the 30 card threshold. And even then that just improves your chances on a lot of opponents to "Possible" vs "No way in hell". Like with Rowena, there is no way in hell to beat her with out having a hand full of two cards and preferably a 4 or 5 card to even the playing field.
