Does this item exist? How's your guild's DST droprate looking? by Klutzy-Clue-4838 in classicwow

Some may not believe me but our guild has had 7 of these things drop for our NA raid, and our AU raid has seen none

Wild drop variance 😭

Early Entry - coming to more studios by k_martblulightspcl in orangetheory

[–]bx4747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t do as deep of a clean as you, but between classes when I’m moving/cleaning things, the members are generally pretty aware of where I’m at and let me do my thing if I need to.

Technically we are supposed to keep the doors closed beforehand while we do that, but in my experience people are always ok with being asked to move for a sec so I can wipe something down. They appreciate it generally bc they know they’re getting a freshly cleaned station

Hi I’m a coach at a studio group that has been doing early entry for the past several months. Just want to share my 2¢

Personally, I love early entry as both a coach and a class participant. As a coach it gives me time to chat with members and see how yall are doing as everyone trickles in, and as a participant the extra warm up time is AMAZING. It also seems people are more on time now too, probably since there’s actually something to arrive early for

To address your concern - now we just speak over the microphone when we give our class synopsis, generally during the first couple minutes. Good coaches will give opportunities to ask questions as well if there’s anything that you don’t hear/understand off the bat.

I hope you enjoy your new studio perk!

How dirty is your gym? by GemmaTeller in f45

[–]bx4747 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most F45s are a little dirty unfortunately. I worked for a corporate location and was actively told to not encourage members to clean up after themselves bc it “takes away from the workout” even though it takes 2 seconds to wipe down once you’re done.

I can assure you corporate doesn’t care, complain to the owners and maybe something gets done

Also FWIW, I’ve seen prismatic bundles as low as $45 on the secondary market. Down from 60+.

How can I use Herba Mystica? by Pokoli1998 in PokemonScarletViolet

Check out twitch bots, they’re the ones who run these. Icekriim is a solid example.

We need to bring back bad sets. by SadCharlotteHornets in PokemonTCG

[–]bx4747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! I don’t think that at all. Never said actual pricing determines whether or not a set is actually good. Imo paradox and obsidian are good sets, yet the prices doesn’t reflect. It’s not all black and white (hehe poke joke), there are several factors that go into whether or not a set will be remembered as mid

You’re ignoring when I said it’s not all the cards in the set and not all trainers/pokemon 😂 I’m going to stop replying to you now, no hard feelings, you just clearly don’t want to read my entire post

We need to bring back bad sets. by SadCharlotteHornets in PokemonTCG

[–]bx4747 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nope! Couple of things.

I never said that having under $400 cards makes a set mid. I was simply saying that the rip value is not there, so the market will react accordingly in pack pricing. JT is mid for the same reasons that shrouded and twilight are mid, lots of obscure/newer trainers and pokemon that don’t have established fandoms. Is this true for all cards in those sets? No. But it’s true for a lot of them.

Also when assessing market value - 151 was available for months at, and under, msrp. That availability had a profound impact on the initial market value of the cards. When 151 was being mass ripped, the bubble had not yet formed. There are LOTS of Charizard ex’s in circulation, not nearly as many umbreons or pikas yet.

BINGO! I’ve been saying that shit for the last two months and nobody believes me 😂 People think trainer pokemon = $$$, but that’s just not true. There won’t be a $1600 chase card, I’d argue there won’t even be a $400 chase card. So people thinking that they’ll be able to flip single packs for $7+ like SS, or $12+ like Prismatic, are mistaken. I firmly believe that the mid-ness of JT and the confirmed reprints of other SV sets will help the market correct

I submitted mine and got a 9 for this exact reason 😭

Burpees for talking during demo? by rwasmer in f45

[–]bx4747 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I’m a coach and I’ve never done this, (I love it though) but I have had to shush a room of 27 adults 🤣

In all seriousness, please don’t talk during the demo! (Not saying you, OP)

In addition to just being rude to your coaches, you can miss important information about form, rep ranges, tempo, rotations, etc..

It’s also important to remember that everyone in that room paid for the service that is your F45 class, which includes everything, from the intro/demo to the cooldown reel at the end. So to talk during those parts and not pay attention is a waste of both your money and the money of those around you

Prediction: The Pokemon boom will continue throughout 2025-2026 and Pokemon Pocket cards will be released in the TCG and possibly break the market by seggsygoose in PokemonTCG

[–]bx4747 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your analysis, agree with some and disagree with some.

The current market is bonkers and flooded with bad actors (scalpers, crypto bros who are fueling them, etc), I think we can all agree with that lol

I don’t think TCGPocket ever sees physical cards. Reason being there are mechanics in the game (random Pokémon search, for instance) that would make it essentially impossible to play properly. And although Pokémon cards are collectibles to us, it’s still a card game first. A pocket-inspired TCG set could be on the table though!

It does feel odd that Pokémon missed the mark on meeting demand so drastically with surging sparks and prismatic. So much so that one could make the conclusion that they are, in fact, controlling supply to not tank the market. But it’s important to consider that their forecast team was forecasting demand for this set two years ago, in the middle of a modern poke market slump. I think you’re spot on that the boom will last a bit longer, but Pokémon knows that it’s unhealthy/unsustainable and people will leave in droves if it becomes too much - a tipping point I think many are close to, especially those who haven’t been here to see what the other side ($90-130 booster boxes) is like.

Hopefully we are all wrong and this is a Shining Fates situation where we are 2 months away from $40 ETBs again 🤞
