Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 5)/@comment-26249703-20160423155427/@comment-26249703-20160423161045

For a little bit of background info, I have tried the first two options, and I was able to get to 1st place on the 2nd lap (out of 3) with both. I also tried skipping to the very end, and found I could possibly beat Boss 12 with a few tries. However, there's no guarantee the difficulty wouldn't increase if I actually raced the events between Boss 9 and 12, rather than skipping them.

It seems a really silly problem, and I do agree. Gold is so rare (well not rare anymore, but the more Gold we get, the more we have to spend to keep up, so there's not much change) that even 1 GC should be saved in favour of spending R$ or time, but it was really rewarding in the first 4 Gauntlets to try and win them in one run. Clearly that's not profitable enough for FM!
