Verminion Penalty for Tutorial ?

[Gunspec]

Also, we'll be reducing the amount of MGP awarded for winning a Player Battle (Non-RP) from 100 MGP to 50 MGP.

Don't these battles usually take about 5 minutes? So that's 10 MGP per minute. It will now take 70 solid days of grinding Lord of Verminion to earn a Fenrir mount or a Cloud Triple Triad card, up from 35 solid days. It will also take about 13 solid hours of play just to earn the ponytail hair design.

Was this a number really in need of getting nerfed? Who is the design genius who said, "but wait, we need to nerf these numbers, the reward for content is too high". Is he the same guy that is saying "we really wish this content would be more popular"?

Well, I earn 99% of my MGP via mini-cactpot, like a majority of the community, so oh well. The rest of the gold saucer could catch fire and I might not notice.

Edit:
just got 10k from one of my daily cactpot tickets, that's 17 hours of non-rated LoV. Think about that for a moment.
