@BalsamicArrow88_XBL what cards do you think people were “hoarding”? Because the ones that people would buy up for investments had tens of thousands on the market, even with people holding them.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN if you can do it your way, why do you care if others do it their way? Obviously it’s not impacting your ability to complete LS, so what’s the problem?

You can’t say investing is the reason cards are too expensive, then turn around and say you have no problem completing things without it.

@ebbets1957_PSN you guys keep claiming that, but the proof actually shows it’s a lack of supply.

@Gone-Viral_XBL no they don’t. The streamers buy them and write them off as tax deductions.

@rubicante23_PSN “the game should only be played the way I play it”

Summed up why you wrote for you.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN almost 70% of the cost of LS is in 10 cards. Either your suggestion is “just pull them”, or you’re kidding yourself on how much you’ll get from selling dupes.

And again, we’re talking about keeping up with collections too.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN let us know when you earn 3M stubs to afford the live series collection, PLUS keep up with the bi-weekly collections they drop.

@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN zero percent chance you finished LS and all the other collections “organically”. You’ll tell me you did, but that’s an outright lie, unless you don’t have a job and play the game 24/7. In which case, SDS thanks you for your service.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL well they just increased the max price on Ohtani to 1M and he’s already on his way there.

People blaming investing is hilarious.

@Dolenz_PSN and yet, in all the years that people have been doing it, that’s not at all what happens. Low diamond prices crater.

The number one issue with the game economy is supply of high diamonds being limited by pack odds.

Over 65% of the Live Series cost is attributed to ten cards.

@GradektheBard_PSN Ohtani is 173k more expensive than this time last year btw.

@mhenry23_PSN not a single person is buying 20 copies of Ohtani. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

@mhenry23_PSN so no actual input to the conversation?

@mhenry23_PSN why does it bother you?

Guy talks about economics and doesn’t blink twice at a 0.008% drop rate for the two most expensive cards in Live Series.

@GradektheBard_PSN the effect that investments had on the actual market was negligible. Supply and demand of the gatekeeper diamonds is what drives the LS collection cost. Funny that someone who talks about Intro to Econ doesn’t understand that. Congrats, you can now be the first to complain about being 700th in line for buying Ohtani at his max value and having to wait a month.

Investing wasn’t harming the in-game economy. SDS just sees it as money that didn’t go in their pockets.

Oh and by the way, the cost of completing LS is as high as it ever was last year.

@GradektheBard_PSN no it won’t. You have zero idea how the in-game economy actually works.
