As far as proxying, I know it doesn't make a difference, but having played MtG for so long there is something inside me that won't let me proxy pieces for a game.

I'm not sure what your definition of bootlegging is, but mine doesn't stretch to people who've already spent hundreds of dollars on a system using a few home brew components to make sure they get ongoing replay value.

Simple. There was heartburn expressed here on the forum about Amazon's treatment of employees, right? I could be mistaken but I don't think the design team and folks at FFG are gonna benefit much from gamers stealing their shit off the interwebs.

I may be speaking out-of-turn I realize that, but unless FFG has gone to a license based or season pass model and offer this content digitally, my bet is they would disagree with you.

They might, but that wasn't really my point. You were drawing a direct comparison between die-hard fans who'd already invested a lot proxying a few cards and a multi-national corporation making the lives of their employees an utter misery to save a few bucks. I was saying that it's not really a valid comparison.

Wait 'til the 3D Printers get cheap.

FFG also knows that add a trait to their product that can't be copied, proxied or printed and it provides protection for their product. That's why the tourney scene is strong. That's why those patch-type cards exist - Adding a card or two brings something already developed and out in the wilds back into viability and keeps the meta dynamic and moving while keeping or making Day 1 stuff relevant in the current game scene. There will always be the person that will look for ways to skip paying when they can, but as long as there's thousands of players taking part in tourneys where showing up with a print out will prevent you from getting near a table FFG will not be worried about a few people printing off components or playing only on their computer with a squad builder and VASSAL.
I do suspect that was we see 3D printers become cheaper and desktop publishing more and more a possibility with more professional looking results we'll see an increase in organized play and tournaments.

I think that X-wing has enough stuff out that you can just pick and choose what you want according to the list you want to play. There is so much stuff that I can't imagine anyone is bored and needs the new ships. My current list that I am taking to World's is a defender, a phantom and 2 TIES (Braxler with ruthlessness and proton rockets, sigma with fleet officer, backstabber, and academy pilot). I am finally getting around to trying out wave 4 stuff! The list has done well, although I have not flown them against TLT y-wings yet.
You don't need everything to be competitive even in tournaments.
Anyone see that FFG is providing c3po as a participation prize in the next store level tournies.
