In-game collecting

What if in gw at any merchant in a city, outpost, or mission you could buy (dont kno how to explain this) like these collecting things like trading cards but not sealed deck cards but mabye creature cards. After Nightfall comes out and they have a little bit of free time they can work on adding in card packs and decks and stuff. And just use all guild wars creatures and put there pictures on cards and randomly set them up in packs of like 7 and sell them for 100 gold a pack. And then get like a reward for getting the entire set or group of like 100 creatures. The cards could be tradeable but cannot be sold back to a merchant. And to make it fair to all the poor players, so the players with alot of money cant buy them all rite away you can only buy up to 2 packs a day. And the cards are stackable or in the storage there could be a card holder place. You could also get a card from a monster as a drop.

Yarrr; that sounds soo much like the tetra card game in FF8. We don't need to add a pokemon card game to GW; if you need something to collect- go for minipets.

Honestly, I don't know what to say to this. In some ways it's ridiculous, in some ways it's brilliant, but mostly not. I have two responses:

Go play a card game in real life and collect cards

It's a smash hit, this would give farmers something to do with money to show off completed sets of worthless trash whee.

I think this would make a cool gold sink, maybe even have a title or two for it.

ya titles are smart. And this is like a baseball cards why get them? People still get them... this may not catch on like baseball cards, but it could still be sorta interesting.
