An idea to help save your japanese cards

People everywhere are hating how japanese cards are being banned, but i thought of an idea. Maybe at worlds they can have a booth where you can exchange japanese cards for their english versions. (Like trade in a japanese dusknoir for an english one) There would probably be a limit for what sets they would exchange, such as DP-RR only. I think this could be a good solution. Do you think this could work?

They want you to have to buy the new cards, its profit for them. They would never let you get "free" cards that way.

...The buying of new cards in local language IS the point. :/

Considering the possibility that cards will rotate out at Worlds, its really going to be more likely that MD-on or something is the format and its going to be those who stocked up on recent sets that'll suffer. And could you imagine the problems with people just buying Japanese Uxies for cheep on Ebay, then trading them in for English ones? <_< (Uxie is a generic example here...)

I'll try to trade my japanese cards to some japanese, even its for nothing, at least the cards still serve a purpose there.
And about this "they want to sell more boosters" stuff, I'll just get all my stuff from ebay from now on, I'd rather shoot myself then spend one more € for pui. They just made me waste a lot of money, buying anything from them is out of question for me.

e:/ I didnt participate in a PR either, I went there and waited til it was over and just traded for what I needed.

And where do you think the cards on ebay come from?

PUI makes the cards and someone buys them.

That person then puts them on ebay.

You buy those cards.

The end result is you are still supporting PUI.

Pray you win every event you attend from here on out, forcing PUI to supply your cards?
