    I'm assuming you've never participated in or heard of simulated events lol. Those cost money to participate (and even just spectate), usually. You know, like say for example, something along the lines of that Walking Dead Escape thing, where your general goal is to survive till the end as you run through the obstacle course. It's not a free event or anything. That's pretty much how I imagine the GATEs to be. Events with actors playing the part, given the nature of the place.

    As for payoff of the mini-games... yeah, I can see a small increase being acceptable. To be honest though, have you ever actually timed how much MGP you earn from them? It's rather high, for the amount of time it takes. The mog crane game takes me only 7-8sec to finish, with an almost guaranteed success chance for the 5 MGP (4 profit). That's 40 MGP in 70 seconds of play (see 1min 10sec). It'd be a lot better of a yield if they just allowed repeat playing, like with TT, instead of having to constantly click and accept. It's a REALLY good profit yield of MGP for the lack of effort needed lol. When I'm mindlessly waiting for something for a little while, I'll just spam that game and without even realizing it, I'm over a couple hundred profit in.

    I think mini games needs changing from 1, 5 and 10MGP reward to at least 10, 20 and 30MGP. The GATES need to be more equal in terms of reward for taking part, having one give less than a 100MGP while another over 1500MGP is pretty silly. Make them all around 800-1500 depending on how well you do in them. The TT duplicate card refunds from NPC also needs an adjustment, perhaps 1 star refund 50MGP, 2 star refund 100MGP, 3 star refund 250MGP, 4 star refund 500MGP, 5 star refund 1000MGP.

    I don't mind the smaller mini-games being bad. They're dull and terrible and you could borderline bot some of them like CT Striker or Cuff-a-Cur.

    Cliffhanger is friggin awful for its time-to-MGP reward. Used as a baseline, Vase Off (1 delivery) takes like 30 seconds to a minute to deliver, and is repeatable if you fail, whereas Cliffhanger can take 2-3 minutes on a perfect run. Vase Off (3 deliveries) takes about as long as one Cliffhanger but gives over double the reward back.
