The counter argument is: It's a casino. You're not supposed to reliably win the jackpot. The ring is a "look how lucky I was" reward. If you want a "look how much time I spent in the Gold Saucer" reward you have the entire rest of the MGP item pool to choose from.

That said, I do agree about open tournaments. The payout is weirdly low for the time investment.

I refer back to the classic "play the content if you want the rewards for that content." Imagine if this question was reversed and someone wanted to buy a raid mount with MGP? What would the reaction be?

The last time they added a big ticket mount was the 2m sabotender, and that was four years ago. If there's ever an 8m mount it's not going to be for a loooong time.

As gamers our inner loot goblins want it all and want it now, but you're not supposed to be able farm MGP quickly. Being a long, slow process is the intended design. You may not like the design, but that doesn't make it a broken system.
