Does it spawn you on the map already mounted on the chocobo?

If it spawns you, then puts you on a chocobo, teleporting might work.

Either way I dunno why everyone wants to focus on chocobo racing, I think it's the ease of botting this mode. If you win it's 84 MGP, you have to wait for the que and run the race and go through 2 loading screens, I haven't done the math but I'm confident you can make more using the minigames, especially the punching one.

You are not on a mount, atleast like the conventional sense. The dev monitor says you are not mounted, mounting and that your position is locked.

I'm sure you've noticed the lag in respect to picking up items and pads. thats the server handeling your position.

MGP items are pretty much glamour style items & casual content. unless you are strickyly into triad most people would want a higher pedigree / rating on their bird. Also its 84 for open races, r80 races are like 120mgp. As you improve your chocobo, racing becomes the best method to farm mgp
