Fair, level headed judgement, and waiting until all the facts are in before making a decision are not recent or amazingly advanced inventions though. However flying off the handle and having to eat poo poo on your stupidity are pretty old concepts.

Obsoletely Fabulous posted:I'm contemplating doing the same thing. The store I play at did proxies for modern, so I've got jund except for a few cards that I haven't dropped $600 on. No word on if they are stopping it yet but another store does regular modern that I won't be able to play it at if they do stop. I'm not telling anyone they're 'proxies'. It's FNM for 4-3-2-1-1-1-1-1-n packs.

You know what sounds wonderful? Being able to play Jund. I really want to play Jund. Maybe I'll buy some proxies too.

MiddleEastBeast posted:Even if it didn't come out with a full blown "We're really sorry for messing this up", the wording of the announcement makes clear that they've fully absorbed the need to very clearly communicate very clearly what the stance is around leaks and culpability (the details of which seemed very reasonable from this latest post). The fact that it took like 5 announcements to get it right is par for the course for Wizards, and I guess I'm giving them credit for getting it this right at all, given the low bar. Maybe I should be holding them to some absolute standards, but it's a company run by socially awkward nerds with no business sense catering to an audience of extremely sensitive socially awkward nerds, and I'm fine with this announcement. Knowing how to proceed down the road doesn't magically undo their gross gently caress up, though. They need to be held to the same standard that you'd hold to any other person or corporation, because otherwise they'll just keep getting to screw up because "Well, WotC, amirite?  "The fact that they admit no fault for their own rash decisions is yet another slap in the face to the community and those who support it. For the most part WotC has just stirred the pot some more, and it's clear there's still a lot of hurt feelings and animosity over their lack of anything close to good community relations.

A nice man named Feng sold me some pieces of paper that I could use as a stand in for Magic cards for use on my kitchen table, personally, casually. Now I have two copies of the power nine. Whee!

I hope none of you dudes get banned I've yet to see a convincing Chinese card, and please mark your proxies so that if somehow they make it out of your posiession some poor sucker doesn't get ripped off later on.

I have a couple proxies from other sources and they're all clearly marked just for the reason that if something ever happened to them people don't think they're real cards. That said, someone PM me a good place to acquire some good looking fake cards so I can finish my cube and stop giving WOTC money to play limited.

Amusingly I had just ordered some Chinese proxies for my cube a couple days before this nonsense. The set was for more than my cube needed so I just got some legacy cards cause why not? Really hoping they actually arrive though this is my third attempt.

It's totally "edgy" poo poo like this that makes all you dumb nerds get ripped off by these legitimate businessmen chinese counterfeiters you're apparently so eager to give your payment information to. Because government violence towards minorities is totally the same thing as some dumb game stores making you swap out some cards in your deck!

At least I'm not claiming I'm going to quit magic because of it. Really, what put me over the top into deciding to proxy was that to run UR Delver, I'd need to pay 700 bucks for the 11 cards I don't already have. gently caress that.

Fyi, none of the websites I found are you paying the seller directly. Its basically amazon for overseas things and is certified merchant. You have just as much chance to be ripped off from any other 3rd party involved retailer.
