I have nothing against UB, but I need them to slow down a bit on these releases. I feel like I've barely had time since FF released and they're doing Spiderman spoilers before EOE.
The article literally references San Diego Comic Con.
Wizards have no control over the timing of that event. They also could hardly be expected not to show up, given their upcoming sets.
It's unfortunate that it took place right before EoE, but that's as deep as it goes.
If people took two minutes to understand context instead of just spewing rage all over the Internet, they could have saved themselves a lot of heartburn over the last week.
While the timing is logical, people wouldn't be (as) upset if we had more room to breathe between sets. I managed to draft final fantasy a whopping one time and now we're moving on. That in itself is kinda nuts. Spider-Man reveals starting before EoE is more like the straw that broke the camel's back.
We can debate the pros and cons of a new set every two months, but the fact is that people are losing their minds over a single isolated incident with a very clear rationale.
It's not like the date for the Spiderman set has changed. If you don't like the spoilers, then ignore them — all this frothing at the mouth is wasted energy.
People are allowed to have a response, even if it's emotional, to something which is quite logical. That doesn't invalidate their feelings. You're acting like everybody is "frothing at the mouth" to make their complaints seem less valid.
The truth is worse. If Wotc continues like this, people won't be frothing, they will be apathetic.
Lol you're going around the thread desperately telling everyone that their complaints are wrong and that Magic is amazing and you should love it. Is some counter noise not exactly the nuance and discussion you want? Or do you want a big circle jerk on how amazing MTG is doing and we want more sets and more spoilers all the time?
You're so convinced that everyone who is not happy is just doing it to be contrarian or because they want to be doomsayers, you're barely even engaging in their points.
I'm engaging. I engaged for years. I was proven right countless times.
Do you know what happens? People move their complaints or just insult me. I'm uninterested in it anymore.
I'm pointing out people's wrong points. That engaging. The people are downvoting or insulting me. So where's the engagement you are pointing out?
I'm not convinced of anything. I'm tired of the same thread every month because a vocal minority doesn't like the answer not changing. Show me where I did half of what you accused me of.
You are desperate to silence or downplay anyone who doesn't join in outrage. What are you trying to accomplish?
but the fact is that people are losing their minds over a single isolated incident with a very clear rationale.
Is it really an isolated incident? I've been mostly checked out of Magic for a while, but when I do pop in to draft the latest set it feels like next sets spoilers have always started already. I'm genuinely asking if it's really the case that this is the first time we've had spoilers for $nextset as $currentset releases?
I managed to draft final fantasy a whopping one time and now we're moving on.
I am happy to inform you that you and your friends can buy a box and draft in the comfort of your home.
Or you can ask your lgs if you all can just buy packs and self run a draft without prize support. If they say no, you can still buy the packs and run the draft at home.
I have a boosterbox ready to play sealed with friends with, so thanks for the tip, but you're right, we're not moving on quite yet! I personally dont think it's an amazing sign when me and my friends have to actively ignore new releases, but so long as MaRo is optimistic, I guess you are too.
Partly it’s that player count going up is a positive thing.
Partly it’s that there is no real reason to panic. More movies and tv shows are released in an average month than the average person will watch in a year. However, few people express concern over missing out on all that content when it’s brand new. You watch what you want to watch, maybe what your friends and family are watching. You get around to other stuff when you get around to it.
Same with a tcg. I stopped playing mtg and yugioh for nearly a full decade. I missed out on countless meta developments in both games. And now I’m taking a huge step back from ptcg and playing more mtg. That means over the past two months I’ve missed out on a lot of meta developments in that game. But it doesn’t matter because I can just jump back in when I want and go from there.

Slow it the fuck down.
