[QUOTE="Festivus, post: 5295065, member: 34532"] For you perhaps, and for myself as well. However, there are some DMs who DM exactly 5 games and then stop reporting... Now they will probably report none. I thought the purpose of the DM Rewards wasn't so much to say thank you than to encourage that reporting of events. I can say that it will be nice to not have to do so much reporting anymore... not sure if that's what WoTC was after, but since they are changing things so that it tracks backed on downloads it may not matter. That's terrific. I might give that approach a try if things keep trending as they have been for my meetup. LFR has been decimated these past two months at my events, dropping from 10 tables to 6 last month, and I have no LFR games on the slate fr September (though a local convention is likely to blame for that anomily, if things don't get better in October we may have what I will call serious implications for our meetup). I agree Encounters has been good. On the flip side, changes to LFR have been bad. Although we had a dropoff for Dark Sun, I am hoping to get more tables going for Essentials. I have only 3 tables formed up (as opposed to 6 for season 1, and 4 for season 2) thus far and can't seem to find sufficient DMs for additional ones. Perhaps the rewards changes will help with this... but I doubt it. Asking someone to DM for 20 weeks is a large commitment. Not in my experience. The same folks who come in for encounters are the same folks at the gamedays. I'll probably keep reporting my home games as long as they allow it... but with DDE I haven't had time for a home game, so I haven't anything to report :) What really sucks is when the change is abrupt, and included with a DM reward that has nothing to do with D&D... that is the main thing I am gruff about.
