    I can certainly see the problem after being forced to heal Vault 50bajillion times due to faster queue times and never getting in-progress to ease my suffering of dealing with horrible parties time and time again for... a card.

    I wish they just made the cards tradeable, so people who got one but don't want to TT can make some gil, and people who want one can pay for it. Kinda like with the minions.

    make a pf group for faster progression, you are probably not the only one in need for that card

    I got a Thordan card and saw 4-5 thordan cards drop in around 12 runs to various FC members, so it doesn't seem that rare.

    The vault though, still haven't seen that one. Nor the pharos/arbortorium one.

    A bit off topic... I find Lewana to be probably the hardest NPC, so just play her for fun now. Think her MGP win rate should be increased, would be nice to have a super hard opponent, but who would drop say 1000 MGP per win.

    Like I said I only play her for the challenge, but just seems a bit odd that her MGP win amount is only a small amount more than Elmer who is a guaranteed win

    the NPC challenge level is fine ( Since once you got the card you won't be challenging them so it makes it semi-fun and a change to vs a random / roulette npc ) only problem is with RNG you should be-able to ' turn-off ' a card you already have so you can't get it any more or boost MPG card values 5-6x. Personally I have all the NPC cards that was the FUN part sure some of them dropped after 100 - 400 wins * the windows make this hell for some * but the RNG of dungeon drops / Booster drops are just horrible, the ones you want are so rare + queue times.. + dungeon times.. can take 2-3 hours just for 2 runs * WoD is horrible * they need to make every card able to get in 3 ways.. Dungeon, Npc , Pack.. to make it fun for all.

    Typical Japanese drop rates... <0.000000000never%.

    But I agree. Certain NPCs, harder ones, should drop cards more of the time. Also, if a gold card pack drops cards 3 and 4*, I should have a chance to always get 1, 2 and 3. Not lower tier cards like Mother Miounne...

    It'd be like having a drawing and guaranteeing $50, $75 and $100 dollar prizes, then giving everyone that participated a buck.
