    My god, paying to get virtual cards......I bet a lot of you grew up collecting Pokemon cards eh?, or maybe you like buying virtual clothing for Maple Story.

    No, shockingly enough I collect real-life baseball cards too. I know, ming boggling that I love to do it both in RL and virtually, it's almost like they're pretty similar.

    No, collecting real baseball cards is okay lol..lets not go crazy now 🙂

    What's the difference between liking baseball cards and pokemon cards? (I hate pokemon cards, but I don't hold any feelings of superiority over anyone that does). People have different hobbies and that's ok, we don't need to trash them for doing so.

    Fine, that's a liberal answer so I'll let it go but if someone mentions anything about PCI or DD I swear.... 🙂

    I just don't get your attitude of superiority when it comes to these subjects. Yes, Pokemon isn't real, it's a T.V. show. I really think you need to be more open about other peoples hobbies. It doesn't mean you have to like them, but insulting other people is silly.

    I'll throw another example, I'm a big fan of some old 70's and 80's shows. Adam-12 probably being my favorite. So I bought a diecast adam-12 car off eBay to display because I enjoy the show. It's based off a fictional show, am I silly for buying it?

    I'll throw another example:

    "But these people can't be taught".

    What were you saying about an attitude of superiority? Lol

    Touche

    @MrGamebred hundreds of thousands of stubs in a few days... no way

    Some guys can flip to 2 million in a day. They’re on the forums and they’re usually nice enough to give tips if you’re seriously interested in working the market.

    @eatyum he just stated that he spent an extra $50...

    I've spent $0, I am 4 teams away from completely finishing the NL collectionl. The NL Central done, Nats away from the East being done.

    Most people don't pull Bellinger, Ketel and Betts. Rare to pull 1. Also who wants to waste time on a virtual market? It is pay to win early whether you want to admit or not. You either pay with money or your time playing a fake market. Now, people can eventually catch up to these people that bought their teams or like you, got extremely lucky with pulls, but it takes time. I really don't see how you can argue this point. Buying players and playing a boat load of hours on a fake market is paying to win. You have a huge advantage to start off. Is it really that hard going 30-3 in RS when you have the best cards in the game right off the bat. It is a big part of the reason these "elite" players have such good records. From the get go they are clubbing baby seals with their high diamond players.

    All that being said, it is their money and their time and they can do with it what they want but they do get a huge advantage.

    Who cares about what I do with my money?

    I spend thousands on charity, schools, philanthropic causes etc.

    Do I spend on stubs? Hell yeah. Does it make me a better player? Not by a longshot.

    Do you yell at people that drive a Tesla when you pull up to them at a traffic light? Do you comment to the lady wearing a $1500 coach bag about what she should be doing instead?

    The reason people can make money in a virtual market, is because people like myself buy stubs at launch and throughout the year.

    Each year, I also give PSN cards to students in my discord group knowing they don't have income.

    Please stop the stub hate.

    I'm glad to take the rage quits though, and I don't accept friendly quits after you see my lineup. You entered the game knowingly. Play the game out. You'll beat me most of the time when I roll a 93 OVR team out there or a 83 OVR.
