[QUOTE="Olgar Shiverstone, post: 9844282, member: 5868"] It's kind of a bizarre thing for me because this same argument is going around right now for the CCG that I do play, Star Wars Unlimited, with players complaining that the "value" of a booster box is less than what they pay, and stores complaining that they have to deeply discount what they have for sale to move product as a result, with many players advocating for more high rarity/high powered cards in sets to encourage "chase" buying. As someone who just plays the game to play, and hates the feeling that a tool I need to play the game is locked behind a paywall, it's frustrating that people trying to look at playing cards as in investment as reducing my ability to play and enjoy the game. The two markets are clearly linked; that they are I think says we've lot the plot. But MTG has been around for more than 30 years -- I'm either deeply wrong, or there's a crash coming. Sadly if there's an MTG crash, D&D probably gets wiped out. Thank goodness for the SRD and all those books sitting on my shelf. [/QUOTE]
