Mini-Lottery: Maybe a BIT more fairness?

[Vidu]

Well, it is different from real life lotteries. In those you'll rarely win anything. Here you'll rarely lose.

If you clever you'll never lose infact - 8 lines to pick, only 6 numbers will give you less than your spended 100 MGP - yeah thats still not guranteed 10k for everybody for almost free - but you can play this game without the risk of losing any MGP... but I forgot... not getting the highste price everytime is unfair and not fun...

But the unrevealed spots can in some cases make it impossible to avoid all 6 of those losing possibilities with complete certainty. (And I'll take a 2/5 or 3/5 chance of losing a few points when it comes with a 1/5 chance of winning 10,000.)

It's totally fair. Every time you play, you have the exact same chance as everybody else at having that 10,000 prize on your card.

Not necessarily agreeing with the OP, but I have yet to buy a single Cactpot card that had the 10k MGP as a possibility (i.e. none of the numbers even added up to 6). The most I've been able to win on a card is 1080 - which I won twice. I've never bought a lottery ticket in real life, but I assume that every ticket at least has the possibility of getting the advertised jackpot. So in a vague sense, yeah I do have the same chance as anyone else. But I'm very put off by the fact that you have to have "double luck" to win the jackpot on a single Cactpot card.

Look, last week I won the 10k 3 times in a row. And now this week, I haven't won more than 180. It's a GAMBLE. Not every ticket is going to be a winner. You're not meant to get MGP as quickly as get gil. The Gold Saucer games are supposed to mimic casino games, that's why you can't even buy more than 500 MGP at a time. If you want MGP to buy the pretty coat or shiny new ride, you either get lucky or you grind. It's working as intended.

Honestly, it sounds like you are whining because SE won't instantly give you the shiny new toys. Heaven forbid you actually try to play at a real casino.

The trick I use is when know 1, 2 or 3 is not in the same row then go for highest number combination possible to at least get more than put in to buying the ticket. I am fine with it currently despite knowing most of the tickets I buy haven't gave me a chance of gaining 10k. If they were to make every ticket a possible winning ticket I think they should also in that situation double the size of the tickets and double the amount of number combinations but keep the amount of number unlocks prior to picking a row the same as it is now. You can't allow for a situation where your basically just giving everyone 10k a day just because they know some basic maths, there has to be an element of luck and chance on lotteries else it undermines the principle of the lottery itself.

You don't need any basic of math. Just look for 1 2 3 and in which line they could be. It's PURE luck, nothing else.

Every single day, some people get mega loot for free and others not. And it is mega loot, because you have to grind a lot to earn 10k MGP. If 10k wouldn't be so much, it would be different.

Lmfao...xD

This daily lottery is somehow something nice, but to be honest, it's a BIT unfair, when some people already won 40.000 MGP with it, and other never had even the CHANCE on a single 10k or 3,6k prize. If this continues like that, some people will just get hundredthousands of MGP, while other don't got 10% of this.

It would be one thing, if there would be any other way to get such intense amount of MGP, but somehow the Gold Saucer is really mainly a Casino like this - in the bad way and hell: for Chocobo raising you pretty much need all those MGP.

I don't really get, why you implement it like this. You nerfed retainers, so they will not bring people raid stuff, but now, with Gold Saucer, it's back and even worse.

All things, which bring most MGP, are 100% luck based, even the Typhoon Gate, the only one which gives 1600 MGP, is 100% RNG.

I mean, I really would like to understand: why?

Since Square told in another thread, that they will raise the MGP gains, I close this pointless discussion here from my side. Goal reached.

Lulz.... If all you wanted was higher GP gains... you should have said so from the beggining. You got so far off topic defending your silly point you don't even know why you started this thread to begin with. Besides, its not overall MGP increase, its just chocobo racing..

Greetings,

Thank you for the specific feedback regarding the process of raising your chocobo to the highest class rating, and MGP rewards for each class.

We’re planning to increase the amount of MGP obtained from chocobo races, so we'd like to ask you to wait just a bit longer.

So you made a thread for nothing, about dumb stuff, to make yourself look bad.. so weird.. I'll never understand people.. btw this is the thread right here.

No, you are just unable to understand, but I can't help you there.

No, you are just unable to understand, but I can't help you there.

Or you just don't understand how dumb and pointless your thread was. Since apparently increasing MGP from chocobo racing means goal reached:

I'll reiterate:

You should have just made a post saying that the reward for chocobo racing should be increased
