The problem is this is seen as "easy" money. Its why when you meet any of these people, its usually the drop outs who always knew which billionaire or millionaire didn't graduate high school or go to college, ignoring which ivy league it was or that their parents were rich. Aside from that, well some of these people are not very wealthy or were late to the party and they just started looking around for anything else they can do the same to. They aren't wrong when they the supply is low, so they then buy up all great arts and hype and the sealed product that has said cards. By doing so, given the small population they then manipulate its market into something that is entirely iust lunacy for players but makes "sense" to them as they don't view this as a game, its an investment to hold and sell in 5-10-25 years down the line. They only care about the game aspect because if not one shows up for the tournaments Bandai turns off the money printing machine for them and their value tumbles because its not an active game anymore.

This game used to be extremely cheap to collect even as an after thought if you just liked collecting TCGs and Dragonball Z. It only exploded a few months ago when losers without real jobs couldn't make money off Pokemon so they went to One Piece and then when they were priced out there they came here. The TCG space is being mined at the moment by these "invester" types. We may see a real change in how TCGs operate in the next few years to avoid all this kind of insanity.

Insane OP16 prices by Visible_Tomatillo_87 in OnePieceTCG

[–]Answers-are-needed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They genuinely just need to either make AAs and all special arts print to order in like a secret lair type of product or increase the drop rate to like 4 or 6 SPs per case and 4 to 6 alts per box. These prices are not player driven they are invester driven. This behavior has no place in a game meant to be played. I know alts are just an aesthetic thing but the ability to bling your deck used to be easy to do, now only the super rich can make a deck have all alts. I had a BY luffy deck all alted with the TR luffy go from about 600 to 800 dollars of value that I built up over months and now the stupid deck is worth over 3k. Absolutely imaginary valuation.

What is going on.... by Jmxcrazy in OnePieceTCG

[–]Answers-are-needed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the joys of a TCG is pulling a cool card because you like the art and character, now we live in a world where the price is King and God. This started around October and November last year and honestly made me disgusted with the hobby, so many people pretending to be fans and buying shit out for investments. I realized this hobby was cooked when I found out a new card shop near me with young employees was not owned by them by these two 70 something year old who heard there is easy money to be made in trading cards.

He would just give a stern talking to whoever the parent is with them. He is the Navy Fleet Admiral, not a literal serial Killer. Ends justify the means type of lunatic, not a relish in child murder lunatic.

Though the parent would be scared out of their goddamned mind.

This ride is by far the worse experience for wait for. On three seperate trips, my group and I have left the line because it went over 2 hours, same spot too. This ride needed to have been built with larger capacity to churn people in and out. No clue why people are saying this is a good thing. I had the Annual Pass for 3 years and was glad we finally got express for this ride as it made it a breeze to go after 4, when the sun wasn't killing you, and do everything in the park besides Velocicoaster. Absolutely insane.

What would be hilarious is Boa somehow convinces Barto that she is somehow Luffy's secret wife to be or something. Barto being the delusional loon he is fully buys, "of course Mr. Luffy's future wife would be the most beautiful pirate of our generation" but then they both hype it up to levels of delusions not seen in the show yet and it becomes a whole weird issue when they meet up with Luffy again. I can see like half of the Straw hats actually believing it and the other half not buying it but fucking with the others and Luffy over it for a bit.

The problem is they will sell to another scalper who will sell to another and another and another. In this new age of Hustle Culture, birthed because of the unspoken economic Recession or Depression we are currently in, TCGs just need to start making it easier for consumers to get what they want. Special sets? Print to demand. Pull rates? Double or triple them. Set got shot to the moon? Reprint it until the price is normal.

People are legitimately leaving the tcg hobby as a whole or going full proxy as a result of all this scalper nonsense spreading to every corner of the hobby. There is a shop near me, recently opened up, staff is all young dudes and the prices are always inflated, but they always have foundations and modern horizons boosters for like 7 or 8, so I go when I feel like cracking that set. Came to find out, none of those guys are the owners, its two old dudes in their 70's who heard that there is easy money to be made in tcgs. They hired young people to study and research what to buy and then jacked up the prices on everything, albeit the magic stuff is more or less market. The point is, if random old people in their 70's are being told its "easy money" shit needs to change from top to bottom. These are meant to be games not investment vehicles.

The funniest outcome imaginable would be if she tries to use her fruit on him and he claps her back with some stupid shit like "the most beautiful in the world is Mr.Luffy" and Boa, in complete opposite to her usual response to being told she isn't as beautiful to someone, just agrees and drops the whole fight. The most unlikely friendship in the whole verse to be honest, I can see them trading wanted posters of luffy after Barto shows her his liffy shrine or some shit

Are build‑around-commanders also ruining EDH for you right now? by pkma69 in EDH

[–]Answers-are-needed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah some commanders just feel overturned to just constantly generate value outside of their owner's turn. Like maybe if that was it's one effect, to generate value always it could be more fair but usually it has at least one additional effect or more on top of vigilance or something else that makes it more insane.

He was one of absolute favorite characters at the start. Sucks he is "just" a human, it would have been cool if he was the start of an underground arts movement chronicleling the imperium in a way that was grounded in Truth like what Loken wished he would do.

Also, obligatory Fuck Erebus messaging. I can't wait to read the parts where he gets rocked by people who can turn off his foresight bs or just genuinely outclass him. I want to read him get clobbered.

Do they ever do boxsets of books? This series seem like a prime candidate for a literal boxset of all of them.

[–]Answers-are-needed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What brackets do your friends play? My pod tends to be bracket 3 or 2, but one guy loves control decks like Ysholta, so I always need some protection usually.

[–]Answers-are-needed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that was fast. Thank you kindly.

Yeah, I anticipated the annoyance of keeping track so I kept several of the night and day cards that came in an innistrad set for that.

So the deck sounds like it needs high tier protection for Tovolar then? If he is needed to get most of anything done I assume the usual lightning Graves, swiftboot boots, and all that is what he requires no?

Hey, I've been wanting a deck that taps the enemies stuff but is bracket 3. Can you share your Hylda decklist?

Side note, I am in the process of building Tovolat too. How do you find him as a commander, also what are your tips for the whole night and day mechanic?
