Some thoughts on Gold Saucer that perplex me.

I'm sure this has been brought up before. I am also still fairly a newer player having only been around for about six months now. I was going to post this in the GS forum, but it seems pretty dead so will post here.

The first thing that confuses me is how MGP is rewarded if taking odds/difficulty into account.

Example 1: Mini Cactpot gives 10k MGP for rolling a 6, which only one combination of numbers will get (1,2,3). However, rolling a 24, also only one combination (7,8,9) only gives 3.6k MGP. The odds for these are the EXACT same, so W...T...F???

Example 2: The event 'Any Way The Wind Blows" is completely and totally luck. The sequence of knockback AoE is entirely random. You actually have less odds of completing this than both the 6 and 24 roles from mini cactpot, yet this gives 7500 MGP.

I don't have to be a mathematician to know that sh*t just don't add up here. Don't even let me bring up jumbo cactpot. I'll leave that for another time.

edit: some things I have considered after posting:

1. mini cactpot is a drawing card, and sometimes the number combinations for 6 and 24 are not always possible.

2. Unlike mini cactpot where the maximum reward isn't always possible, AWTWB can always be won if you're standing in the right spot.

I may have answered my own questions lol.
