WS Rewards
-
Okay what about this:
Exchange Program for WS Rewards?
You can trade in your Juan Pierre for Ted Williams. Maybe lock it after one trade or something. I don’t know.
I just feel bad because there are some guys out there stressing like crazy to get to WS. Maybe they lucked out early in the cycle and won a game, but they can’t get back to 900.
Then some guy, who has also been stressing, but his lucky game came in October. Now he has Chris Sale.
It doesn’t seem fair to me considering they both aren’t good enough to make it consistently, but one was lucky in the right month.

nah, because then I could just buy juan for like 30k, then get ted williams for 1 mil. It'll screw up the market. Not to mention that you can just exchange a 91 for a 99? Nah, its a good idea to be fair, but that's how the ball rolls and you gotta deal with the hand you were dealt.

I disagree with all of you.
The achievement in March and April should be rewarded the same as the same achievement in October and November.
I think it’s harder to make it earlier in the game.
And I still use Biggio. I don’t use Sheffield, though. Haha.
And no, it's okay to have a 3 end game cards at the beginning of the game, because baseball is a team sport, and it usually takes more than 3 players to win you a game, but when you have like 6 99 overall players within the first month, it's not fun. The game will get stale, you play with the same players all year, and there will not be that much to earn throughout the rest of the year. I'm sorry I should have rephrased that, I have played about 40 games of Ranked Seasons in the last two months and I have not played Biggio once, maybe because nobody plays with him above division series. It's definitely not harder earlier in the game, because you play a whole bunch of idiots, I started the year off 22-0 is RS because I played against people that had no business being matched up against me.
What constitutes an “idiot” who you play in the earlier part of the game cycle?

People that just picked up the game, people that struggle to get past pennant race, people who swing at every pitch, no matter the location. That sort of stuff

Alright, fine. I guess I’m on my own with this one.
I still feel like it is unjust that making WS early in the cycle isn’t as rewarding as making it later.
And for the record, I thought the WS rewards were whack when they came out back then. I spoke against Britton and Pierre; I thought then and still believe that they were slaps in the face to the community.
But I guess I’m the only one. It’s okay. I’m used to having unpopular opinions. Haha.
Good luck, everyone!

I will say, though, that if everyone knew you could trade your 91 WS reward for a 99 a few months later, they wouldn’t be selling it for 30k, Dingers. In fact, it would ensure that WS rewards from the early season maintained their value, which sort of at the heart of my argument here.

I mean that same Juan Pierre is currently 800k on the market.
They do maintain their value over the long-haul.

Oh. Then what is he talking about?
But I wonder, how cheap is the cheapest WS reward in the market right now?

The 91 Hornsby is 1M, the Britton is 900k. I think Juan Pierre at 800k is the cheapest
Even Tino Martinez is 1m
-
I doubt anyone is buying them, though. Why would anyone buy 91 Hornsby for 1M?
-

The 1m is buy orders, not sell orders. You have to wait in line to pay 1m for him

That’s how people stash stubs, isn’t it? Put in buy orders for cards that aren’t moving?
-
@maurice91932 said in WS Rewards:

No, not on a card like that where there are only 11 buy orders at 1m. Chances are super high of getting that card. If people wanted to stash stubs they'd pick Chipper or something.
And even then, that's irrelevant to the actual conversation. There are orders there and you can click a button and sell him instantly for 1m, he sells for 1m

What's wrong about Britton? He's a really good card.

Obviously, which makes it completely unfair and stupid.

And pierre was selling for dirt before the trout collection shot up his value. That's what I was referencing about for the 30k pierre, because people could have stacked him then, and just waited until later to exchange for a 1 mil coin card.

I’d like to know when was the last time those cards actually sold. I thought you used to be able to see that online but I can’t find it anymore.
But what they did to inflate the value of those cards, of course, is to make them needed for Trout, then not release very many more Veteran or Prime Series cards. So they made the series rare.
So with this market manipulation and others, like the 1M cap, it is hard to measure what a particular card is actually worth. Chipper would very well sell for far more than 1M if they allowed it. As would Sale or Mays. So the fact that Pierre has orders for 750k, which is only 250k less than Mays, is only because they capped Mays.
Without the cap, would Pierre be within 250k of Mays? We may never know....
Anyway, I’m gonna get a shirt made that says:
“I made WS once and all I got was Juan Pierre, a Nameplate, and this stupid T-Shirt.”
Haha. But alright you guys. Fun discussion. I’m over it now.

We may never know because of the cap, but again that's not relevant to the conversation because there is a cap and the early WS rewards do sell for that much. Doesn't matter how it's achieved.

I don’t know you keep saying something is irrelevant. Just because something IS, and is verifiable, such as what a card can sell for (but won’t), doesn’t mean that discussing the way things could be is irrelevant. I mean, what are we doing here? Talking about what I’d like to see changed, and other people are talking about why they don’t want it to change.
People talk on here all the time about the way pitches shouldn’t hang. But pitches do hang. Does that make saying that they shouldn’t irrelevant?
I’m just confused by the way you’re dismissing hypothetical scenarios as irrelevant, when every conversation about how people wish the game was different in any number of ways could be called “irrelevant,” too.
And if you feel that any conversation about proposed changes is irrelevant, then, okay. That’s your feeling on it. Doesn’t seem worth it to engage, though.
