#merrit collectors comprise a very weird very tight-knit subculture with encyclopedic knowledge of every misprint/quirk

[wyldblunt]

i am always thinking about that one asura in taimi's lab who, upon not recognizing the commander, snarks something like "oh, i'm sorry, i didn't bring my heroes of tyria flash cards with me today 🙄"

was he just joking or do those exist. heroes of tyria TRADING cards, even???? are children across the realm kicking and biting each other over a holographic trahearne

#gw2 #there WAS a holographic glyndwr and he threw a fucking shitfit when he found out and got it put out of print #unfortunately for him this OBVIOUSLY backfired and drove demand up like crazy and now it's one of the most-discussed collector cards #there are like five billion different runs of alan cards. lorelei cards are beautiful but dont tend to have actually useful skills/moves - #-so theyre beloved by ppl who only collect the cards for the art but don't play the accompanying game #merrit collectors comprise a very weird very tight-knit subculture with encyclopedic knowledge of every misprint/quirk #now im thinking about mutuals' commanders too #you NEED a kerra card. if you dont have a commander kerra what is even the point of your collection #marwyds are popular even among ppl who don't care about shit like this and can be easily traded for cigarettes/waypoint fare/etc #the hua collectors are bonkers. theyre a well-oiled machine. they all have like a dozen copies of every card like an itabag #I COULD DO MORE BUT I HAVE ALREADY BEEN FUCKING AROUND FOR TOO LONG TODAY AND GOTTA GO MWAH #oc notebook
