[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 6813075, member: 6939"] You are still doing it wrong. While trying to determine if you have enough money, you are looking into somone else's pockets. Here is the situation. The AL creates a 15 episode story arc. You are allowed to take part in it as much as you want. After about 6 months.... the Admins let you know how the story ends, partly based on your feedback, and partly based on what they want to have happen, they determine how it resolves and let you know so you can have closure. Pretty cool, huh? Now, they *also* decide to let some players 'help' them make those determinations. So they create a limited run adventure to be played at a number of Cons. These are *in addition to* the adventures they make available for public play. These are above and beyond what is already available. But it does not make what is already available any less enjoyable. Lets look at it a different way. Lets say WorC decides the epics are too much trouble. Maybe they are too expensive, maybe they require too many resources, maybe WotC decides they hate Conventions. Heck, maybe they decide they would not play well at very small cons, but don't want to be 'unfair' to anyone. Regardless, they decide to discontinue epics... Now you have access to every adventure that everyone else has.... does that make AL more enjoyable for you? Do those 15 adventures become 'even better' than they were before? Now that everyone has the exact same access to every single adventure..... is your experience improved?? [/QUOTE]
