Gold Saucer issues

[Elevin]

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.

I know it may be a bit hard for older players to comprehend since you've been able to steadily earn MGP for years whilst the rewards have been introduced, so you can't understand the time scales... but lets be generous and say someone is earning 150k MGP a week on average each year. That's 7.8 million MGP a year. It will now take 3 years to earn almost everything. As I say, it's fine for you guys who have been at this for years and probably already have enough MGP each time something new gets introduced to buy it...but for the players that start now? They have a long hill to climb and the methods to climb it are the same as far as I can tell.

So why are you all so against increasing pay-outs for some things and making a permanent combat method to earn MGP?

I thought FF14 was supposed to be a welcoming and helpful community, but most of these forum users seem dedicated to gatekeeping. I'm getting flashbacks from when I used to play WoW now. Aren't we all adults here with lives, full time jobs and families?
