I don’t give a sht what y’all do with your money. Rent a midget riding a donkey for all I care I will still think it’s stupid af though

I don't understand why leople care so much about this kind of thing. Some of you trying to call people out for spending money on a video game prob buy cigarettes and beer regularly. Like people don't spend their money in silly ways sometimes. Perfect example... I bought a new firearm last weekend and my neighbor sat there smoking a cigarette that costs $11 a pack trying to tell me i was silly for spending $1200 on a gun... Don't judge what people do with their money. You don't know their lives

Not trying to be argumentative here. I am really trying to understand.
Why is it stupid?
Stupid is such a blind term regarding this because you are passing judgement on what somebody else is doing.
Whether I make $25k, $100k, $500k or am retired. Why is it stupid?

The one thing I will say is if you have the best possible team from so early on where is the challenge. But to each their own
Exactly. To me, the fun of DD is building your team from rewards and random packs and doing the best you can with what you have. If I bought my team I would have no reason to keep playing the mode - I would have "beat it" so to speak.
However, like you said, to each their own I guess. -
have AL completed & started NL East - no other NL collections done, but have DeGrom & Freeman. Don't use a cap so no equipment there. Haven't spent a dime. Got lucky with a few pulls (DeGrom & Cole & several lower diamonds), but mostly just working the market and grinding showdown

How stable is the marketplace and how fast do the top cards depreciate in value

You good man. Not passing judgement on ppl but the idea Itself is stupid to me. I grew up playing all types of video games and never had to spend another dime to enjoy now all these games make you feel like you have to spend money. If I took that 1500$ and bought all McDonald’s today some ppl would think I’m an idiot but some ppl would think I’m awesome. Games like Fortnite are the worst, wearing a 20$ taco skin will not make me play any better

Its all about what content is dropping and when. Most diamonds will lose alot of their value as more cards are released. If you're waiting to finish collections, I would maybe buy the most expensive cards now and buy the rest when they drop to 10kish depending on the card

How about Trout, just pulled him and don't know if I should sell him and make a nice team

I've completed the Free Agents, AL East, AL Central, and a handful of teams in the AL West (A's, Mariners, Rangers), NL Central (Pirates, Reds). All other teams are between 20-30. I pre-odered the Legends edition and have bought stubs twice for the weekly Space Man packs. So maybe $100 after the cost of Legends editions. My son created a CAP but we haven't spent anything on him yet. I've yet to pack Trout, Acuna or Degrom.

However, like you said, to each their own I guess.I'm on the same page as you man. Every year once I feel like I have my god squad and I am happy with it I lose motivation

Collections are behind a paywall. You can grind this game all you want but your not beating someone with Chipper and the rest of those annoying (censored) unless the guy your playing sucks.
Tbh i really dont care if people already have chipper. Most of the time the people that pay for their whole teams are usually garbage. The one thing I will say is if you have the best possible team from so early on where is the challenge. But to each their own
A person who has played 1 hour and has spent 1500$ should not have a better team than someone who has played 60 hours and spent no money.

Why?
If the guy that spent 1 hour didn't buy stubs, the guy playing 60 can't make money by selling and buying cards. There's minimal market.
Having better cards doesn't make a player behind the controller better. Everybody agrees on that.

I’m no guru by any means but I would sell and get a stacked team. I was lucky and pulled Degrom twice. Sold both times and finished NL West collection. You get Tatis, Machado, YU, Mookie, Bellinger, Kershaw, Seager, Story, Finley, Hoffman, Gagne

I do agree with you on that but what is the point in grinding 60 hours if the person who played 1 hour can get a better team just like that?
Because he can?
Not really sure what satisfactory answer there is. Use me an the example.
I have Chipper. I spent $1100 this year and have 140k stubs idle and some invested in Topps now cards. I also have about 36 hours played. Should I not be allowed to have Chipper because I can afford it? Should I be restricted from buying stubs unless I invest a certain amount of time logged into the game?
Does having all of those cards available to me make grinding the CPU easier? Yeah. Does it make a PR player into a WS player? Absolutely not.
What's unfair?
If I got everything by grinding 60 hours, NMS and had the same team as the guy that played 1 hour and spent $1500, I'd have pride that I did it. Why would I care about the other guy? Chances are I'd beat them in ranked with their goon squad.
