Well, the Gambit will end in 13 hours, it's already 11 PM, so i'm going to bed in a few hours - and i, usually, sleep around 9 hours - which means for me the Gambit can be considered over. I've played from day 1, got both N SECs as soon as they became available, to get maximum of bonus stamps from every stamp chance i'll encounter, stayed awake for 2 days in arow, missing sleep a few times, using up my 300+ Sta all the time to not let it fill up to max when i was awake and so on, and i'm still at only 25k Stamps and location 198. Which means i'm not getting the only card i want from this Gambit (the 50k stamps prize) by no means and even, probably, won't be able to get the one for 200 locations and see the final story scene this time (though, this time the story is just a series of boring random crap, imo)
Meh. I understand, that with tons of Glasses on the previous Gambit it was too easy to get to the Ex Stage in a few days, and it killed the very idea of the "Choice of Fate", since you always had enough Glasses to not guess and rely on pure luck, and skip the retries, but completely removing them just killed f2p experience instead. I mean, what's the point in even trying to compete for the 50k SR if you get TWICE less stamps than required, no matter how hard you try? I could've understand if i'd miss, say, 1k, 2k, okay, 5k, having _a little_ less than 50k to the last day of Gambit if i were lazy, and log in to the game only, like, twice a day, or skipped a few, or just one day, but making it like that... I'm just at a lack of words. Oh, and those "1 mil stamps" requirements for the top reward just makes me laugh. I mean, why won't they just finally make the game "pay to play" if they hate freetoplayers so much? Otherwise, what is the point of playing a "collectible card game" if you can't, actually, collect all the cards? (or, at least, make a collection of cards that you actually like, and want to have in it)
