If you're seeing people assign a Sun Blade to a tier 1 PC they're cheating, full stop. As for opening the floodgates, CCC content is all reviewed by AL admins. They approve the items that go into them, just like they do the regular adventures. If you want to complain about adventures that allow too much stuff you should complain about SKT and its "random rolls" that are often not terribly random. Now that's a point to complain about, but it's not a DM quest issue, it's a "this adventure isn't designed for organized play" issue.I see little reason to complain about XP windfalls. I already routinely play in con games where some PCs are at the high end of a tier and some are at the low end, giving DMs ways to apply a bunch of XP just lets them skip around in the tier as they want. There isn't a real problem here.Again, the fact that people are cheating (and that's what it is, the FAQs are clear that the various doubling quests just apply to the XP/Gold/Downtime awards) doesn't mean the system is unfair. It just means that people are cheating.It's an incentive to DM a lot. I'm not seeing how it's a real problem, especially considering that the rule banning Aarokocra is designed to avoid access to flight at level 1, which King of the Ordning doesn't do (you have to start at level 5 due to the XP it awards).All of AL is run under the honor system, if you are having a problem with DM rewards and you remove those awards you'll just get the same people faking up a log sheet and cheating that way. Your problem isn't with DM rewards/quests, it's with people cheating.Sure, I've seen people using the rewards incorrectly and I've corrected them nicely when I did. It's not some plague upon the world like you seem to think it is. And no, damn it, I'm not exploiting the quests, I'm taking advantage of them as they're intended to be used, in return for the time I spent running the damn games.</blockquote>
