People who care about arbitrary values of a piece of paper or commodity are called traders, collectors. We don't describe these people as Players. Players like to design decks, play Magic cards in competition, argue about deck match-ups in theory. Players don't like to spend time on card prices. You need cards for a deck, you acquire them. It's people like you, crying foul and all in pretense, when all you care about is making profit off trading commodity in the secondary market. What do you know about playing this game?
Counterfeiting is illegal everywhere that matters. It's illegal in China as well, occasionally there are raids to break up counterfeiting rings. It's illegal by every standard that could possibly matter for the sake of this discussion, yes including the law in your town. By knowingly ordering fake cards you would be breaking US laws (or wherever you live).

Pretty much everyone would agree that counterfeiting is wrong. I mean outside of the people here trying to justify it I don't think I've ever heard someone make a pro-counterfeit argument.

What are you even doing? I mean you are going so far around your ass with this logic I don't even see where you are coming from. No one here is really making money off MTG we don't want this to get out of hand because it will hurt the people who host events and then there will be less events. I'm sorry you don't like paying for cards, I don't like paying for anything, but people don't hold events and host FNMs out of the goodness of their hearts. Read this article it will lay out the general reasons people disagree with counterfeiting. http://www.starcitygames.com/article...eit-Cards.html
