    Just like in real life!

    More seriously, it's supposed to be a nigh endless MGP sink by definition. If you're aiming at any of the big spenders, you shouldn't be bothering with the booster packs anyway. They're there to make sure your MGP purse isn't too heavy after you hit 80+ on the fashion report and have nothing else to spend it on. And even then, rotten as your luck might be, you'll eventually get those cards. I'm a Zidane card away from not having to bother with any booster pack save for the Platinum ones, but those don't cost me MGP unless I do really horribly on the tournament.

    You're not talking about the same card packs, I think

    good luck with that the platinum ones would be worth it if you could actually win 1st place.

    cousin won once or twice I don't have the cards to do it he tried to help, I decided today to call it on triad I went and bought 7 on ps4 and rather play that then the one on 14 until I see some improvement on the cards not giving you the same stuff non stop.

    anyways have fun man.

    The time I scored 2nd and got my Firion card I also got Tidus from the booster packs. I rank top 20 almost regularly when I remember to participate so I'm actually making MGP while farming for them, it's all good.

    As long as you win your tournament matches even if your not into tiers you have a high chance of platinum packets.

    Can you not play NPCs anymore? I used to play against the weakest NPC and I could walk away with 2 platinum packs. I didn't even win all the time, so I'm assuming it was just a participation reward.

    No I'm referring to playing against NPC's. The more cards you win over the first 5 the better your drops are.

    Experience shows that's a load of rubbish. I can flip the board and still not get a drop, it's all RNG.

    IF it's RNG then the RNG God likes me for some reason then.Most I've spent on one NPC is 10 times for a secondary card and 5 times for a normal one. Better get that salty God out of your corner. Less if I flip the board. Except from Illshyre and above harder to flip whole board.

    eh?
    That's like saying if you flip the four corners Aerith will be brought back to life.
    Proof, or it's unsubstantiated nonsense that will only confuse people.

    We all have our methods then, to each their own. Main point is you have a better chance to get cards you don't have by challenging NPC's then wasting MGP on packs on repetition based on theme and not likely to get the ones your missing.
