On one hand, i feel you, i think 60mp plus the time it needs, the 32 copies you need to get the SS version (this is what actually bugs me more), the low frequency (once every two months now?) and the difficulty make these spirits somewhat a pain in the ass to farm - well, i say "somewhat", because at some point through playing the difficulty level actually becomes a nice challenge and at that point it actually feels most rewarding whenever you finish a quest and even more if you get a drop.

So, while farming them itself IS a drag, the mp cost still are somewhat justified, if you compare them to other high rank quests: Some (if not bad re-runs) have viable late game spirits to farm for 30 or 40mp already, the closest comparison for example are the "Orlha Reports" for 40mp now, but the Gauntlet-Spirits usually still are stronger (although there are situational exceptions), so it is only logical that it shouldn't be "cheaper" to obtain them.

And for the half mp cost time, well... i feel you as well there, considering i am from europe myself and it's shit that you have to be up and playing at that time if you really want to make use of that period, but then again, you don't "need" it and considering this game can technically be played all over the world and in all time-zones, it is impossible to please all players. Just think of this: Even if you would "only" focus on the players which are native english speakers, they can come from the USA, Britain and Australia (and some other places which i won't all list), which already covers most of the spectrum of time-zones and there would always be someone disadvantaged or displeased with the chosen time period - the only thing to make this "fair", or "even" would be to drop it alltogether, but that would be a complete Pareto deterioration - i.e. it would not be "better" for anyone, only worse for some - and i would not even bother to ask for that "fairness" in a game like this.

So, if you really want them, just keep playing, you should eventually get there and - THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART - remember to have fun playing!
