I understand that some players have a wealth of time and would get rank 9 chocos really fast if it were designed to have progression in-line with a single player game, but without faster progression, I get bored of the same maps with the same layouts and I feel like I'm wasting my time. After all, I'm just racing the chocobo to get a better chocobo, the MGP gain while steady isn't worth the effort. You can Triple Triad and get MGP much, much faster if you care about the aesthetic items. I don't really, so I'm just racing to race and improve my racing chocobo so it isn't tuned for me. With the prevention to keep people from afk grinding, the races have become a wasteland.
