Because it's a zero-sum game with other customers. "Cheating" doesn't hurt the company at all, but it does lower everyone else's chances.

- dragonwriter 5y ago> "Cheating" doesn't hurt the company at all If the people that care most about rare cards target them more effectively rather than buying however many packs needed to get them randomly, how can it not? And, also, if those playing by the rules that the manufacturer set up get less of a “ooh shiny” bump to keep playing by the rules than is designed, again, how can it not?
- dTal 5y agoHm. I suppose you're right, in the large. In the small, it still mostly feels like you're unfairly changing the rules of the game out from underneath the next person to walk in the store. By analogy, it's not ethical to rig someone else's slot machine to steal people's money and pay it out only to you - even if you think slot machines themselves are unethical. Claiming to be be curing them of their gambling addiction seems... convenient.
