Echidna card (Loot Rolling)

[TheGrimace]

Everyone does have equal rights to roll on the card, whether it's only worth 50 MGP or not. This shouldn't be the issue here.

The bigger problem is that this was a change that ultimately benefits no one in the end. If there were issues with people actually obtaining the card before, then adding the card to the loot list just promotes the idea that the card is even rarer. It puts a distaste in everyone's mouth, dangling a carrot in front of everyone... which isn't entirely welcome when the card is nowhere near as effective as the Onion Knight's card.

the card can sell for MGP

But yes, I also don't know why they put the card into a chest. I find it better how it was before, where everyone had the chance to get the card.

3 star is like what, 80 MGP? That's one minute of Indolent Imperial. Maybe two minutes if it's higher.

The Echidna card is 50 MGP if I recall correctly. And you're assuming everyone actually plays TT and would have a chance at winning against that imperial.
(Though on that note, it's... one or two games of 'Out on a limb', so yeah.)

Still, it's free MGP obtained without actively hunting for it. Personally, I tend to Greed on it (just so it's not lost if for some reason everyone else passes on it), but meh. I'm mostly annoyed at their decision to make it "loot chest only" instead of "loot chest in addition to chance of bagdrop". I'm hoping it's just them trying new things out, and that they'll realize it's not a good idea and decide not to do it in later instances ^^;

Do people even play Triple Triad? It's widely discussed that most people that win the triple triad tournament just buy their wins. I got like 40/40 wins against a NPC and I wasn't even like remotely close to being on the board... meanwhile I see in party finder people offering to sell wins right about when a tournament ends....soo... And it's not like people are asking around for people to actually compete against.... I'd gladly play against other people to try to get wins that way but no one wants to play...well for "free" that is. They'd sell me wins but they aren't going to just play me normally when they could get money. I'm not going to cheat to win... It's just lame cause I actually think the game is fun.

So why do people need cards again? They can cheat easily without having a good deck so...

I'm not sure what's worse. This dumbass rule preventing actual Triple Triad players from getting a card, or the people who think a measly 50 MGP is worth taking something from another player who may have farmed endlessly to get it.

Just wonder why they just don't make Echidna's card loot in the inventory with the same drop rate as the 3 CT cards.
(And BTW, farming WoD, with like 80%-90% drop rate of CoD card which sell for 600GSP <3)

To me the main point of playing TT is to collect all of the cards.
I was lucky enough to get the Echidna card before it was added to the chest but I know I'd be upset if I was farming Void Ark for the card and people who already had it were rolling on it for a paltry amount of MGP.
I myself will only greed on things like that I already have just to prevent it from hitting the floor if everyone passes.
