[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7682899, member: 2525"] I think that's not very broad minded. You're not "bullied", it's just a league that must have a common basis of rules. One reason for that rule, and it's a good reason, is that you should be able to take your same AL character to a different AL game and still use it. Even if you used it in an entirely different campaign the week before, and even in a different State and city. AL, by it's nature, needs a consistent set of rules that cover all their games. I do not think DMs who volunteer for the AL are not "worthy to sit behind the screen in the first place." Indeed, I find some of the best DMs are in the league, and they've earned a lot more respect that you're giving them with your off-handed insult. Nevertheless, my point was that every new option risks creating the very dilemma you are focusing on: having DMs in the AL league choose between continuing to DM with PCs using a type of rule they really dislike, or else not DM anymore for AL. That's not a good thing for the game. So it deserves serious consideration - not the only consideration, and that choice may still be the right choice for WOTC to make for the game - but it should be part of their consideration.
