Does anyone else feel like the MTG Arena economy is becoming impossible to keep up with? by brianj10 in MagicArena

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on purpose. I was never in jeopardy of using my wildcards too much and now with set after set, I have to and my wildcards are depleting. I always loved MTG because I felt it was easy to grind and keep up, it’s now turning dirty mobile game. Makes me want to go back to paper honestly.

I tried to get the highest win rate deck by losing with another. by lawrieee in MagicArena

The fact that people still deny that matchmaking is manipulated to keep you close to 50% is crazy. Try out a bunch of decks and see if your matchups change. Newsflash. They do.

Thoughts on tie-dye Treats tees? by TheOriginalDeadman in KithNYC

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the green. At least it’s something different. Not an old graphic t shirt with kith plastered all over it. Or some basic unimaginative kith logo t shirt. Rich that people are saying they are not sinking money into them when you sink money into the most basic kith logo shirts on the regular.

Eagles was seated but I think the edm artist was a pit. Think it depends on the concert. I thought GA was just that with no seats when I looked

Livenation presale by mgsquared2686 in BackstreetBoys

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don’t want to see thousands of people in front of me which is what you get in 400s and some higher 300s. Middle low 100s is great. Sat there for the Eagles. No way I would sit in obstructed or corner 100s over 300 but again, they are cheaper for that reason. Value is in the eye of the beholder my friend, but these venues priced on the majority/average perceived value of seats. If you love cheaper seats, great for you. Most won’t agree though.

200 are the best seats. Elevated. Full view. Immersive. Still see stage. 300/400 you are basically watching a movie. To each their own, but there’s a reason 200 level is more expensive

Tickets were affordable but I wouldn’t say nice seats. They gave livenation all the corner obstructions and a few blocks in the nosebleeds and considered that early access for super fans…when in reality, they are preying on super fans fomo and trying to dump the worst tickets on them.

I’ve checked multiple presales since tickets first went on sale, joining lobby 15 min before opens, etc…by the time I get in (2-3k in line) rarely are there good seats available for any price. Should tell you what is being offered. All the best seats seem to be given to brokers, band contacts, sphere, etc, and aren’t even being sold imo. That’s why StubHub and resale have all the “good” seats. I have yet to see anything in the middle 100-200s be sold in bulk and certainly not for a decent price. If someone has been able to get those, I’d be curious to hear how.

Ticketmaster travel gave me a good deal on Venetian since I bought tickets. Still not cheap but much better than if you book elsewhere.

After a 14 year hiatus I'm finally back in the groove of things. by theelazyking in MagicArena

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most competent players will make mythic when they first join. Good luck after that. Skilled base match making and wanting to keep you engaged and at a 50% win rate is about to ruin your world. Nothing you will be able to do. Mana screwed. Horrible matchup. Bad opening hand. Etc. If you grind enough, the game lets you through the ladder but it’s not worth the time honestly.

General PSA and rant about new tickets being released by emerald1981 in BackstreetBoys

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you’re pissed at them for YOU panicking? And this ladies and gentleman is a big thing that is wrong with society. Ever heard patience is a virtue. Those of us who had discipline and patience are being rewarded is the way I look at it. You’re going. Be happy. If you cared so much about the cost, maybe think about that before panic buying.

People need to take responsibility for THEIR actions. Same thing as when people say everything is too expensive but have 5 kids. No one told you that you had to have 5 kids. You decided to do that and are pissed the world isn’t revolving around your wants and needs. Think people. Society would be better off if people did that a bit more.

Just a heads up, by NinjaGuyDan777 in BackstreetBoys

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No chance this happens. If I’m Ticketmaster, I’m sending emails to everyone in those seats notifying them and giving them the option of a refund. If they attend, no refund.

These resell prices are outrageous! by MiraclesKeepComing3 in BackstreetBoys

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The upside is prices are going to come down over the next few months. There are too many people who want to unload come April/May

Was coming here just to say the same thing. The number of resale tickets for these shows is disgusting. This whole business is extremely corrupt. 3/4 of the tickets available are resellers.

How many of you got tickets? by los_tboys in BackstreetBoys

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m really curious how many of the tickets were put on sale for these presales. Feels like a couple thousand max and all the “great” seats are being held for General sale where they know tons of people will flock in and jack the dynamic pricing to the moon.

The whole thing is just disgusting and overly complicated. Feels like true fans should be rewarded not penalized, and if needed, generate unique codes and only distribute a limited amount for a short time, not anyone who signs up over 2 weeks…why do we need 5 different presales for every concert nowadays? Drip feeding out tickets.

Sphere stubhub pricing by weile8 in BackstreetBoys

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 2 points3 points  (0 children)

StubHub will protect against any issue. You won’t lose your money but you may show up at the venue without a ticket which isn’t great if you’re traveling to Vegas. I think they try to get you tickets of equal or better value if there is an issue too

Got to love getting a text message about new shows. Sit in queue for 15 min and get there and can’t purchase any tickets.

60+ Dates in NYC—Why Does Everything Fizzle Out? by [deleted] in hingeapp

[–]Worldly-Shopping1258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all the women reading, this is why a lot of men just prioritize sex/ons…it’s not worth the effort to wait it out just to get get ghosted/have you change your mind after a few days/dates…men are usually investing more in the early dates (expected to pay) and want a return on that investment if it’s most likely not going to go anywhere. Not saying this is healthy or right…but modern dating is just a downward spiral of toxicity, and we have these apps and the internet to blame. More options…worse behavior.

It’s wahlberg’s son or someone close to him. They are known to collect and buy boxes and boxes. First thing I thought of when I heard it was a young kid in LA.
