My opinion stated from the view of a poverty stricken family is, no matter what the justification of the price hike, they should be able to better justify by improving the product, not releasing sets so fast that your cards are not legal by the time you get a decent amount of them, and not making cards that you do have illegal or useless anyways. I probably wouldn't be so poverty stricken if I didn't spend so much money on cards, but you have to in order to stay competitive.Catch 22's suck.
