    The only complaint.

    Triple Triad booster packs are a rip off.

    8000 MGP for mithril booster pack.

    Lets say you spend 140k MGP for 30 booster packs the 140k you busted your butt for a few months cause it ain't easy only to get repeats of card you already own.

    pretty much worthless also when you trade them back only getting probably 10k worth points back depending on what you got which is rare cause the repeats.

    Other prices reasonable that mithril booster pack is out of hand.

    its already not easy to win npc's sometimes but buying booster packs with such a low % give back is not right and its super low.

    30 cards get 15 of the same card yay yeah great thanks anyways whatever done with triple triad for good lol

    So why not play the game and win cards? Play the tournament just for participating you can get platinum packs -.-; Booster packs are meant to be a rip off and seriously it's not that hard anyways. If you played FFVIII it's the same rules. If not look them up on line samples ect. Damn lazy people want everything handed to them lol.

    How is he being lazy? There's some cards you can ONLY get from the card packs in the game. That's how they're making it a very un-needed MGP sink. In the R-300 races, you'd have to win first place 8 times for one attempt at a card pack (Right over 1000 MGP). But they made sure to put some common as hell cards in each one to really streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch out how long it takes to finally get something. Not to mention the fact that you have to ROLL AGAINST UP TO 23 PEOPLE IN RAIDS for some of the cards.

    I play game and I know that it is the same as 7 poor choice of words you use there.

    Its not about hand outs its about pricing doesn't match and its above not getting same cards twice even playing npc's 100+ times I am getting the very same card.

    its not fun to me to play a npc that many times for the same card when I just want to get the second card so I can go play another npc.

    8000 points compared to other booster packs that's double the price, that don't make me what you said just because I think the price is a bit too much.

    that's like few months of running golden saucer and even that is tiresome which nobody I hardly see people go to golden saucer anymore matter of fact only to do 2 things.

    maybe a event when it pops up, and weekly card game and the cactpot even though that is not even worth doing since ive tried like crazy even mog bonanza was better than that.

    cause well the MGP is just not worth it and you can get MGP from the book for weekly 30k.

    You do realize that they updated the NPC to show cards that you have collected and the ones you have not? The more you win with higher cards the better your odds for the card your missing.

    Example , based on my experience, if you win having over the normal five cards 3 you enter the second card bracket, 4-5 is almost a guarantee card. Sometimes is luck of the draw on rules, however for the most part is just knowing the rules and cards. re adjusting your cards. Using MGP on booster packs is just a waste save those for the Cloud card, mounts, minions. At any rate good luck it really is not that hard.

    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.
