Dementuo Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I wish we got Gold Series like you Darkplant. I'd have a Catastor by now if there was a Gold one. =( OT: It's staple good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Dragunities and their Structure? You can easily be tier 2 without toptier stuff. [/quote] Well yes, but the player without the toptier cards is much less likely to win. What I'm trying to say: Yugioh values Money first over player skill, while they're both important in Yugioh. Other card games focus on player skill first, then a fair amount of money(I can buy an entire pokemon deck for the cost of a playset of rabbit, for instance. I mean a Toptier deck. Yanmega Prime is like £35, but still it'll be booted eventually.) Yugioh needs to be less afraid of booting cards from the format. The way they seem to solve problems is by making cards better than the problem which makes an even bigger problem when they should just boot it from the format. There are budget decks in YGO, granted: but they never seem to make a huge impact and are never a "Cheap way to play the game" It's mostly the player's fault for pricing things so damn expensive, but you can't deny Konami tries it on to make cards expensive.

Greiga Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 A mint single was $120, playset was $300. So pretty much it used to have the prices Tour Guide has now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Michael Geren Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Um, you guys are wrong. Mint First Edition Dualities went for 180-190 after DREV went out of print and before Super Dualities were announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, the money cards are almost needed for competitive play (to stand any chance of winning, anyway), so it's a no-win situation. At least Gold Dualities will be real nice.

Legend Zero Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I don't see how this is Konami's fault for card prices. They don't make the profit, do they? They don't set the prices, right? In fact they really have no interaction with the transaction at all. If Konami did start selling singles then we could complain.

[/quote] They don't care, and they shouldn't have to. Making good cards more rare just makes it more of an impact that "Hey! This card here is good!". Everyone likes to have their deck 'blinged' out. Also, ever think that they rarity bump on purpose? I mean it makes sense, it raises the prices and might make kids buy the packs themselves. If you look at it from there view they are doing nothing wrong or unjust, its only when you add in the singles market/second hand selling does it become a problem. It may be a trading card game, but the trading part isn't the company's problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Dude, Rabbit's not even that bad. It started out at $100 and is approaching the $65 range now. Once it's been out for a few months, it won't be that expensive at all. Sure, that's still a lot to shell out for a single card, but it's going down. The only reason prices are so high is because when they're new, [i]everyone[/i] wants them. The one thing I never understood though is TGU, because that's just ridiculously high-priced and the pack's even been reprinted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Rabbit isn't a bad card per-se. It gives Normals a place in the meta game. However, giving it all those useful abuse tools wasn't smart. If they just thought about the impact a little and added "This card cannot be Special Summoned" then everything would be fine. They are/were promoting their new mechanic with Rabbit, and they're doing an overall better job than with Synchros, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
