MGP too much of a grind

[Leumas]

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.

You know where the door is.

This is seriously the most petulant, childlike, and irrational answer you could give someone.

Complaining about something bad is how bad things become better. The MGP grind is pretty bad. Even if you make 10k mgp a day, 1 million is a HUNDRED DAYS.

And OMG the person who threw out 133 hours like it was a nothing stat....LAWL. You people are hilarious. A hundred thirty-three hours is 4 hours a day for a whole month. Every day. Grinding mgp and doing nothing else for four hours a day. Get out of here with that ridiculousness!!! LOL!

But its true. When I went into GS for the first time. I saw the prices on things and what payouts were. Played a couple games and walked right back out that door, well teleported out. Now I just drop in for the daily/weekly cactpot. It is what it is, but the complainers will no doubt get to the devs and they will nerf things like they have done just to shut people up, but there will always be something else to complain about.

This is not including any variables, such as Cactpot winnings or otherwise I'm assuming, as 20sec of effort if you can win that potential 10k daily isn't exactly something to complain about. So a little over 3 months essentially? How long have you been playing FFXIV again?

Are you sure? Ending sentences with "lawl"s and "lol"s in bold seems childlike and irrational. Maybe it's just me.

On Topic: I work two jobs and know that I'll never get a lot of the items in this game. So what? It's just a game, and who knows, you may hit it big on the cactpot and get what you want. Gold Saucer is going to be around for years, you have plenty of time to earn what you desire.
