While I understand and somewhat appreciate what I think this contributor is trying to say -- that we don't want 6* cards to be TOO easy to get -- I think he/she missed the point a little bit of the OP's complaint. It is not that Mammon is not easy enough to get, but rather that a player was able to reach 8 million union points, WAY MORE than virtually every other player that did obtain Mammon+2, without any way to reach it.

Indeed, the fact that the game put a hard stop on greed tickets after 5 million union points (other than the randon drops from bosses) makes me think that the game assumed that most players who got that far in the game would have obtained her. And, that certainly fits with the experience of the vast majority of the players.

In my union, several of us were able to obtain Mammon+2, most of us within the 2 to 3 million union point range. One player was particularly lucky and had pulled 2 Mammons prior to even reaching 1 million points! The issue here is that a player gets to basically the END of the greed tickets without any additional way to continue working toward the card.

One solution that could keep things reasonable would be to have an increasing chance of pulling Mammon with each greed ticket that you use. A very small boost in chance would not have made much difference to the vast majority of players, but would have helped a player like this who, it seems, the developers clearly had in mind would obtain the card.
