    I'm not a big fan of it either bein in Orthos, what's worse is it comes from the silver sacks aka only on floor 31 or above.

    Content that requires you to solo it, or be in a fixed party.

    Would have much preferred it be on the actually boss it represents, the floor 10 boss.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Right? Weirdest decision ever. Isn't it supposed to be side casual content? On top of it, lately you can't even get cards challenging NPCs, besides the occasional one after you reach certain point in the tribe quests. Do the monsters scale if you go solo at least or are they the same? I've checked the TT site and some are saying it could take over 40 bags to get it. FUN. I can't wait to try content I don't want to do and fill my inventory with useless rewards such as 40 of the same old crackers I got in HoH and PotD.

    Please don't ask to make getting cards easier or non-existant. Some people want a rarer reward for doing something out of story content. You know cards are in Eureka and Bozja right? You can easily solo 31-40 of Orthos until you get a card.

    It's boring and unrewarding for casual side content. You want difficult rewards? Solo it 4 times to floor 100 and get the mount, then you can boast all you want in front of everyone else how much you like difficult content and/or DD.
    If I had to beat an NPC a 100 times to get that card I would, because I prefer that. I'm not interested in getting to floor 100, nor the mount. I don't even like Allagan aesthetic. I like getting the cards. But, apparently, you don't need to play the card game to get the cards /shrug Why can't we have two methods?

    You don't need two methods because you already have alot of cards. This one card isn't goign to change the TT meta or how you play. How do you get this card? You spend less than one hour on a dungeon that doesn't require savage/ultimate level knowledge, grab a chest and you get it from the appraisal. Didn't get it? Try again. Its like being mad you didn't get certain cards in the card packs at the GS. If you want the entire collection you have to get out of the way and out of your comfort zone into different content. If you hate the content that much just don't get the card.

    Wut?

    Why can't I get TT cards playing TT? That seems so logical to me. Why would it be in a bag kept in a lab buried 5000 years ago?

    I did get mad when I opened packs, it's the magic of randomness, and anyone who's played TCG knows it. Specially when I had to spend over 2M MGPs on packs to get the Zidane card, but, at least, I wasn't forced to play something I didn't want to do. That is the content TT is supposed to be, that is where TT is introduced. I want to farm MGP. I do. I don't, I just wait and do dailies/weeklies. You already have a challenge in DD and that card shouldn't be one. Want to add it in bronze sacks so some players try it and see if they like it? That's fine. However, that's there for the sole purpose of forcing players to play it for longer and artificially increasing the duration of the content. Anyway, I guess we'll never see eye to eye on this matter.

    I can't even get a party together for Eden's Promise to farm the card and I've pretty much given up all hope of ever getting the card mount.
    I'm now of the impression that whoever it is on Yoshi P's team who is handling triple triad cards is a sadistic jerk.

    Do you not get that some of these cards have a drop rate of LESS THAN 1%!?

    Come on...

    Would have made a nice reward from the Synthesis Node for like 10 or 15 Orthos Aetherpool Fragments.

    That node is criminally underused for proper rewards.

Call me bad if you want, but I don't care, that's the whole point of this thread. why are some triple triads cards rewards on par extreme mounts while 99% of the TT content is aimed for casual play. A lot of RNG, a lot of unlocking behind side quests/stories sure. But only 6 cards (or 3, depending of your take on the masked carnivale) on 377 are behind high difficulty content.
    If you make sure your aetherpool armor and weapon are high enough, as well as read up on some of the abilities used by the floor 31-40 mobs, you shouldn't really have too much of an issue soloing it. Maygi has made an informative guide on pretty much everything Eureka Orthos, noting any important abilities that you'll have to look out for.

    Alternatively, going in with just one other player should make it easy/safer to farm silver sacks for the card.

    The Gancanagh card is unlikely to have a <1% drop rate. Had it drop from one of the first silver sacks I obtained, along with a few others that I ran with when trying to go for a floor 100 clear.

    Same enemy HP so it's absurdly slow apart from the times you have some poms to burn
