INFINITE MERCHANT GOLD!!!! (how to dupe gold inside...)

[Skeeve]

A little insight on what I was doing (before I started avoiding the merchant).  I was selling ANY card I had more than 4 of.  I was actually attempting a collection playset - and I was just at the point where I was buying 4x cheap rares because I had 4x every common card.  A few cards, like hobbit sword, I would foil when I couldn't sell, and sell the foils, to grind down to 4 copies.  Call me crazy, but it passes the time between tournament games, and it is exactly what I did back in the day.  I have the binders of 4x each card...  I would give my commons/uncommons to random players at the store back in the day.

I know they are virtual cards, but I like collecting, and earning cards is *WAY* more fun than buying them, which is why I haven't jumped into any RL tcgs.  TBH, Ebay and the internet age ruined the local tourney scene with internet decks where you can share the winning decks, and buy the cards in less than a week.  I like Gemp because My Cards simulates the environment before all the internet deck stuff went down.  You casual players are playing in that internet deck environment. :p

I'm willing to sacrifice to make it MORE like the environment I enjoy.  I got my rares the hard way, not buying from the singles cabinet at the local card store.  But by opening packs.  However, whatever happens, I feel we may lose some of the community.

I remember someone suggesting that the merchant automatically buys your cards once you hit 4.  It sounds like a good idea, as it would take absolutely ages for anyone to abuse to get more than 1 gold.  It would render virtually all cards worthless in not very long, though.  What if the merchant only sells cards?  Most shops would only sell you cards, but would never buy yours, so it is realistic.

What if you can only sell a card if it was pulled from a pack? Add a special script to singles that were purchased directly from the merchant, making them unable to be resold.

I support not selling singles; however, establishing a fair price for selling cards to the merchant will require some thought.

If everyone could have enough of a brain/heart to do this, we wouldn't have a problem.


As for those of you abusing the merchant:  you're ruining it for everyone who plays fairly and for yourself, by destroying the site.
If this continues, little bits of the site will have to be limited (like singles).  Eventually, you'll ruin the entire experience.

But if someone pulls some rare from a booster, he could still make another account and increase its price, then sell the one opened and profit.  In fact it would be even worse, cause he could not sell the copies bought from the other account, and the price will remain high.

BTW I would appreciate if MarcinS announces if a reset is coming or not, as I see no point in playing League matches and Dailys until thats clear. In fact I better save my last Sealed matches for post reset, so I can win some boosters when I'll need them more. (Thats it if I bother to collect it all from scratch for a third time, which I'm still not certain I'll do).

If you created the thread and want to delete it, you can do it yourself (just hit "edit" on your main post), but since you requested it stops going forward, I'm going to lock it.
