I do not have card sleeves (READ: too lazy to put them on)...

Sleeving your cards probably won't be as bad as you think .  I started playing a little after Guilds was released and I had all of the expansions before I sleeved anything.  I thought it was going to be this agonizing, day-long project, but it really wasn't.  Just make sure you have the space and organization so that when you start sleeving you can get in a rhythm.  Minimizing stops and starts is key.
Seconded. Sleeving all of the cards does not take that long. Throw on a movie or a couple episodes of a show and you are golden.

Watch an episode of Dexter and every time he stabs someone, forcefully shove a Dominion card into a sleeve. Who needs VR, that's plenty of interactivity with your favorite TV show right there. You can save money, get the VR experience, AND have protected Dominion cards!

Yeah, I guess I will get around to it eventually. Still, the cost of the sleeves is equal to at least one more Dominion, and I still don't have Intrigue or Alchemy.

The method I use is to sleeve cards as we gain them. It slows down the game slightly, you might wear down the cards uneqally, and you'll still have six unsleeved Bureaucrats after 4 years of playing Dominion, but you'll find yourself with an essentially sleeved set before you can say Goons.

The people I play with already go nuts if I play more than say, 10 or 20 action cards in a turn, so that would be a great way to have them even more annoyed. And it has been statistically proven that annoyed Dominion players buy 17% more attack cards and are 52% more likely to pick the attack options on cards with choices. Thanks for the ideas, though. I will certainly sleeve them eventually.

I buy attacks whether I'm annoyed or not.
