Not especially, there's plenty of people that will buy tickets for a small discount.Isn't it a gigantic hassle to get money out of MTGO and into the real world?

Event Tickets aren't going away. Play Points are an alternate entry fee. Going forward, constructed events will always give out some Play Points to cover the cost of joining a new events. Previously they gave out packs as prizes, and the packs were frequently not worth enough tickets to enter the event.Right but aren't the new playpoints non-transferrable? I know very little about the MTGO market, so I'm not sure how this new system compares.
Uh, you'd need to be 4-0ing daily events more than half the time to do that, and if that's the case, you've made more profit than previously, because with less packs given out, the pack part of your prizes is worth more.It'll still get to the point where some people will just have a massive surplus of nontransferable points.
Yeah I've done no real math on it or anything. As for sealed that's the vast majority of what I did when I was active on MTGO. Used to grind sealed dailies and PEs for QPs for MOCS. In fact that was the last time I cashed out tix for cash. I was sitting on a pile of Mirrodin Besieged packs waiting for New Phyrexia to come out for the small boost in tix price of the packs. Couple hundred dollars difference when talking like 600 packs or whatever. Pretty sure I have like 1100 Alpha Tyrannax on my account. Good times.Uh, you'd need to be 4-0ing daily events more than half the time to do that, and if that's the case, you've made more profit than previously, because with less packs given out, the pack part of your prizes is worth more.
And you can always draft or cube or sealed or play PTQs with excess points. Sealed is actuallyGREATEV on MTGO if you're any good at sealed.
Basically, if you're to the point where you have tons of excess Play Points from winning Constructed events, you're still making more money than you were before (because your entry fees are always covered) AND you have these tickets you can use to enter more other events for free.
Elaborate.Last call for anyone that wants to help me make a lot of money on Modern staples. Can promise at least a 40% return.
