Dear Konami

[Marcicus]

Quit ruining Nationals by releasing broken ass cards/support for themes every March format. Y'all did this shit with Dark Strike Fighter, then Darksoul and Ronintoadin, and now Samurai are going to destroy until September '11.

Lern2make balanced, good cards. kthx.

Laugh all you want, I'd much rather play that than YGO.

The power creep in YGO is so atrocious that I can't understand why people play it. I understand that they attempt to fix things through restrictions and bans. . . but then they go around and print something just as broken, if not more. And it's clearly on purpose cause you wouldn't make the same mistake 20 times without having learned something... no it's just clearly to get people to constantly buy. And in some respects, that's genius for a game as it keeps people playing, but it doesn't make it "good."

At least with a game like Magic, or anything with either good design or at the very least a block format, I'm know that things that are format warping will eventually cycle out. I'd rather have variety & balance in the form of a clean slate then in the form of "I have to be more broken than all my predecessors."

I personally haven't played Magic in a while though so if the format is warped atm, then oh well I guess my point doesn't seem as valid. But with time, it'll at least right itself, which I can't see YuGiOh doing with it's current structure. It's why I simply don't have any desire to play it anymore. Most of my friends who still play it are only in it cause the money that's made off of the secondary market and winning regionals/topping events is apparently pretty good.

[Marcicus]

There's not much money to be made anymore with shit constantly getting reprinted.

[Tsutsumiko]

There's not much money to be made anymore with shit constantly getting reprinted.

Is it because prize support is bad? Or is there just no consistent way to win now that everything is easily accessible to everyone? If it's the former, I'd suggest the player base complains because several other companies (Wizards, Bandai, etc.) have FANTASTIC local/regional prize support. If it's the latter, I'd think that just says the game is shallow like I've said it has been all this time.

I simply don't feel there is much room to outplay someone in YGO... simply draw my outs before my opponent did.The illusion of getting outplayed before was simply because my opponent could afford something like DSF and make a comeback and I didn't have the card. Had I actually owned the card, the game would have been over simply because I had the setup faster.

I'm not insulting but I don't think I've read/heard anything more nerdier than this in quite awhile.

I work part time for Bandai's Card Game division. I get paid (although it's in "product" since they can't put me on their payroll since I work through extension of the designers, not the corporation. . . which I am than free to turn around and sell) to talk/analyze cards. Nerdy? Probably. But it's free stuff/money.

[Mizango]

YGO is where its at, I still have my deck and will fucking battle you on the fucking sight. Im like the black Kaiba and shit.

[Mizango]

That was pretty epic though, I wont lie.

It's not free, you're working for it.
