The World of Warcraft TCG: Now With Tedium!
Yes, there's nothing more exciting in an MMORPG than killing the same monster over and over again, hoping that it'll drop your fiftieth "Bungscale Cobra-Toe," thus allowing you to craft your green, +1 to fancy walkin', pair of Bungscale Boots. That is—you know—except for going on quests and killing dragons and stuff.
Well now, thanks to the magic of Upper Deck's World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, you can relive all the magic of gathering up trash and turning it into something passingly good with their new Crafting Redemption Program! Starting with the upcoming Fires of Outland expansion, one of every booster pack's fifteen precious cards will be a trade good (like cobrascales, or heavy knothide leather, or shadow cloth) that you can collect. Get enough—somewhere in the twenty to thirty range—that match the requirements of specific recipes and you can turn your crap loot into something maybe actually useable. Just like in the game! Fires of Outland will have five crafting recipes, and if you get the prereqs, you can trade in your ingredients either at a number of WOW TCG events or just mail them in, and in return, you get your newly "crafted" card.
The idea is pretty innovative—as in, I can't think of anything else like this short of collecting box-tops to get your Ovaltine Secret Decoder Ring. However, do the widely-held boring parts of an MMO need to be translated into the TCG too? Personally, I think I'd rather kill monsters rather then make boots.
