However this is a very bad and dangerous precident being set. Lets not try to belittle it by saying how ineffective these items are and how harmless this practice is. We all know what this is building up to. People who are trying to downplay this are just not being honest about the potential effects this will have on the future of gaming.
I have to agree with this.
I believe they're easing people into it. By making these items only mildly effective now opens the door for people to become increasingly comfortable with paying for items - and therefore encouraging people to become more accepeting of items with greater effectiveness in the future.
I believe this because if it were me (and I had no scrupples) this is exactly how I would do it.
i will agree to this though, but as for me defending anything i'm defending TCG's in general, because if they start regulating because of some special cards all TCG's will take a hit and that will piss me off, if people can't handle their gambling problems then thats their problem, others shouldn't suffer for it, if parents can't regulate what their kids do then tough shit, they failed don't punish everyone else.
