Like I said before the guy might have done everything right like taken care of all his bills and families need but then just needed a little extra to make it to the gp... The point here is if people wanna donate they will, but just because you feel the need to decide what other people deserve in life doesn't mean that you should ban people for asking for help when they need it...

"need it" I'd love to see a followup detailing how going to a GP is a need. What group is this? I'm in the mood to troll.

Why does anyone actually care about people asking for money to go to GPs? It's dumb to ask but what does it matter

Are there any particularly fun/interesting/nuanced Duel Decks/Clash Packs to pick up for a semi-beginner and a total beginner? I already have Blessed vs Cursed and was looking at Zendikar vs Eldrazi. I'm lusting after the Duel Decks Anthology but it's a fat purchase. Doesn't matter if the cards inside are trash for Modern/Standard, it isn't a value purchase and these decks will not make it to an FNM. They're just for us.

rabidsquid posted:Why does anyone actually care about people asking for money to go to GPs? It's dumb to ask but what does it matter Its funny to see people begging for money to pay for a hobby. I think "care" isn't the right word. I think its generally accepted that luxuries like hobbies etc. is what you do with your money after you pay for the stuff you need. If you don't have any left over money, then you don't get to have hobbies that cost money. That is how most people do it when budgeting etc. right? Seeing people begging for fun money like their 12 asking mom and dad for $10 more bux but they're adults is pretty funny to me. Also we're talking about scale too. Magic is a way more expensive $$ than having a netflix subscription etc. I'm not trying to make an arguement that poor people don't deserve fun, but Magic at GP level is played by people who generally have income to fund their hobby, which is why it costs what it does. If the only people who played magic were high school kids then 'goyf wouldn't cost $180. Its like yachting is a very rich person hobby. Should I start a gofundme to buy a yacht if I'm lower middle class but really like boats? That's crazy and so is begging for money to play Magic if you can't afford it. jassi007 fucked around with this message at 15:11 on Apr 18, 2016 |

Pauper is legitimately my favorite format because it supports game play style that wotc never will again but also isn't likely to end up degenerate and banned. Mostly on board tricks, but also a lot of fun old spells and low power value creatures.

rabidsquid posted:Probably nobody should be a grinder even if they have money, tbh. Agree. Last year I was at a place in life that I felt I could afford to try out the magic GP thing. I've been playing on and off since I was a kid in the 90's. I did a couple big events, it was interesting and all but I'm not good enough to make it worth my while. I'm an FNM warrior who likes big fancy decks. Even if I had all the free time in the world and no responsibilities aside from work it probably wouldn't be worth my while. If you couple the costs of going to big events like GP's with the odds that you get more out of it than a fun weekend away with your buds, then it is just really something that cash strapped people shouldn't do unless they're crazy pro level good and just need to get to the events to break out, and the truth is almost nobody meets that actual definition.

I need to aquire more pauper decks to just provide a field so we can do actual pauper events.

GP's/Opens are fun to me partially because I go with some good friends that I have fun with even when magic isn't involved. We play all day and support each other, do side events together, and hit up bars or whatever after it's over. I've had a blast the past few times we've taken a weekend trip to go to an Open, but we're all also late-20's to early-30's guys who have decent jobs and don't have to crash on couches. I genuinely don't understand how people can derive much pleasure from grinding events, but to each their own. And yes, you should make about 4 pauper decks to intice people into playing locally. When we had pauper league a few months ago at the local store we had something like 30 people sign up, some with borrowed decks and everyone loved it. I provide extra decks for pauper and also for modern night each week to support the local game nights and everyone seems to appreciate it.

At least you didn't write a small essay about how people are entitled for wanting to go to GPs, I'd never go to a GP I'm not about that life, if you're poor you should not want to do anything that costs money and definitely not ask for help. The downside though is you whipped out your tiny lands dick to show off your prince albert :[

I guess some people are perfectly ok with begging or borrowing outside of actual necessity? And I'm not talking about spot me $10 for lunch today I'll pay you tomorrow I forgot to hit the ATM. I'm talking "please give me $100+ dollars to go play magic cards and also buy or lend me cards" Seems kind of excessive. I've never heard of casual hobby begging before today, but I guess it is a totally ok thing to do. Live and learn right?

Hey guys, I don't like my country, and would love to move to Berlin. How about all of you pay for my trip, the cost of moving all of my stuff and also pay for me buying a nice apartment. I deserve it, don't I? Seriously, though what the gently caress - nobody "needs" to go to a GP. If you don't have enough cash to play high level magic you do what the rest of us scrubs do - you make due with what you have and bitch about card price spikes.

You're not obligated to pay for other people's hobbies but people wanting to play magic when they don't have cash is not some great sin. I'm not going to begrudge someone asking. Especially to borrow cards wtf, I borrowed cards to go to GP Detroit despite not only not needing to go but also having money to buy the cards. If someone I know wants to borrow cards I care about 0% whether they need to. It's definitely hosed up to want to make fun of or troll someone for not having enough money to do something they enjoy at the very least. Especially when most people in this thread have spent way more than they need to on this hobby and could help other people out without changing their budget at all if they wanted to.
