iAmNateXero Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Why do people complain in yugioh when they can't have what someone else has? I was on TCG player the other day, and I remember scrolling through many fanlist, and more then half of the reasons for a ban was "its too expensive." Who's fault is that?! Does money pay too much into this card game? My thoughts, no, but then again, I do buy all my cards. And if I don't buy a single, I only buy boxes. So does disposable income make me superior in a game where skill is mandatory? Or better yet, Should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Angelus Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It gives you a simple advantage nothing more. A person with more disposable income always has an advantage in a game where you can purchase items to make yourself better. If people find this unfair, too bad, it's simply the way things work.

Felix Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 tbh, I don't really know where the "skill" actually comes into yugimanz. If you don't have the money then you can't get the cards you need to win, regardless of any skill that might be involved in the actual playing of the game. As far as I can see it's knowledge and cardpool/money that puts you above others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Boxes, in the long run, are usually cheaper then the singles itself. At the time it came out, 1 Box of Phantom Darkness would get you like maybe 2 DADs.Sell each one of them, repeat. Simple. Also, I mostly buy commons/common versons of existing cards anyway XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daboss144 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Money sure does help, and gives an advantage. But that's part of the fun, getting the cards you need without blowin ur budget. Then beating the people who have immense amounts of disposable income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0b3rt Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Each not-really-broken meta has an anti-meta which is relatively cheap. Problem being that the meta changes twice a year, or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☨βlack☨ Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well, I'll disagree. I made a deck simply because it was cheap and it pretty much pwns. The deck build doesn't look good, but it does amazing things in the actual game. Get cards that swarm and you can own a Duel. Synchro monsters come in tins, making them easily reached with money. I don't think money has much to do with it. I made a deck out of my scrap cards and almost beat my friends Aliens deck which was on par with GB's. Skill and drawing are the keys in this game. Yes, money does help... but if you do that, then you also lose creativity. Creating decks should be creative, and believe it or not, there are some amazing common cards out there. I'm ready for an argument if someone disagrees. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PikaPerson01 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Of course money is an important factor in the game. Even some of the better anti-meta cards, Fossil Dyna, Burden of the Mighty, Dark Bribe (because most Anti-Metas run a lot of backfields) are pretty up there in prices. You'd have to be pretty [mentally impaired] to think it had no effect in the metagame. However, a card's price should have no merit in deciding a banned cards status. If Shapesnatch cost 400 dollars, and JD was a common in the Lightlords Structure Deck, that doesn't mean we'd keep Shapesnatch should be banned and JD should be unlimited.

☨βlack☨ Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 True that. Banning cards because of pricing is stupid. Instead, LOWER YOUR PRICES!!! They would make more money that way. When a card is banned, it pretty much loses all value. But if the value goes down, it can still be sold and they can make a profit at that. Banning over prices is idiotic. By the way, by "loses all value", I mean no one needs a banned card. So it will become less of production to the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azuh Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Prices should have no effect on the banlist what so ever. And if people are complaining, play online =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkest Hour Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 It's inflation. the first pile to pull a Venomminaga decided "Imma gonna sells it for 40 lolz" and it kept selling for 40 because there were always copies for sale. Gil Garth was at 40 for NO REASON until there were no more copies for sale on ebay. Then someone listed one for 5.95, and another for 10, and then, that's what the price became. Dark Armed was declared 350$ because, of course, someone listed it for that, and all the bidders thought that's how much it was, so they limited their max bid to that. another thing that comes into play is demand. Some prices vary because more people want it and will bid more for a card. A dollar card could become 4 and then 7 dollars because people will drive up the "price" through max bids. And then theres the Beckett/TCG/Card Sale Price Magazines piles that declare "Dark Armed will be 400! Judgment will be 200! Pluto Is not a Planet!" If you cant afford the "good cards", buy the cards that kill the good cards.And when it comes to destroying 1200 dollar decks with cards you got for free, remember a saying of mine...it was the penny that killed the millionaire.
