I'm comparing this format to last, since they are the only 2 I have played in, I don't really need a whole lot of past experience to see this.
I quit, and then posted here, my first TCG post in a while because I agreed with the OP.
By any card I don't just meen Beedrill, I mean any card. Fun decks last format were fun decks, there's not really as many for me this format, and the reason I played was for fun.
What you find "fun" a lot of us find frustrating, apparently. If this format really is no fun, you made the right decision to quit. You can, after all, always come back if you find the game suddenly suits your tastes again. I've played Pokemon since it came out in the US, though I have taken some large "breaks" for various reasons, I don't stay gone for long. The only time I quit was when someone ill informed to me Gym Heroes wasn't actually compatible with older sets and that all my old cards would no longer be legal to use. Yeah, that was a
long time ago. :lol:
You whine so much, it just shows how bad you are at this game lol. some cards are ridiculously good, others are super bad. deal with it. if you don't like it: QUIT
If you don't like people with different opinions than you, perhaps you are the one who should "just quit?" :lol: As long as Vaporeon explains him/herself (sorry Vaporeon, if you've stated your gender before I didn't retain it :redface
I am okay with posts that I may or may not agree with. Obviously you're free to keep posting like this as well, I am merely warning you that from my perspective, it doesn't reflect well upon you.
cabd: Pretty sure Ness left the game in protest of WotC eliminating the 15+ age bracket (though the did institute the original Professor Program at the time, it was small compensation). I believe he returned shortly before I first met him... if it was him (I am
horrible at remembering people
). If I am confusing him with someone else, I would appreciate it being pointed out.:thumb:
eriknance: I believe Vaporeon was guilty of over exaggerating, but I must agree at least partially with his point. It makes little sense that we have a few Pokemon that are well endowed in multiple areas when the vast majority are only blessed in one. I am just no longer convinced that it is these cards that are "overpowered" and wonder if it is more a matter of a significant amount of cards being
underpowered. Or possibly the "stubborn player" issue causing a lack of balance: sometimes I wonder if we have the decks we need in the format for proper balance but because everyone believes Deck A is the best, they all use it, making Deck B useless and Deck C underplayed etc.
TheGeneral:
- What you love I loathe about the game, apparently, or just completely disagree with the reality of. There are many fantastic Abilities/Poke-Powers this format. Universal draw engines are one thing, broken draw engines are what you are describing, and I am pretty sure your estimate on how many decks end in -boar/-phlosion is a bit off. The last point is only a bit off, however but then how many decks last format only had a different ending suffix because of how they were named: e.g. the vast majority of decks last format were less diverse.
- How much of that price break for Agents is due to Konami finally re-releasing staples in a cheaper form? Is that the top build for the deck or at least the most common? I dropped YGO for many reasons. What you just told me tells me that either a lot of staples were banned or reprinted in easy to obtain ways, and/or you're ignoring that most of the time if you buy a set or structure deck for one card and the rest aren't popular, you aren't going to get the rest of your money back through trades/sales. I am skeptical of your claim, but if you wish to either PM me what you consider a typical, good deck list or post it here and list how you would assemble the deck for the price you gave, I would be much obliged.
