Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 7339062">1: AL is a different beast, I think, because WOTC requires you to play a certain way.  If AL mandated magic item shops in every game, well, tough.  People who DM for AL are essentially performing a job.  If they don't like the way AL is run, they can quit, same as any other game.  The books say a very specific thing in AL, and WOTC has very AL-specific rulings.  It's not one of those sort of games where the DM and the players have a spirited debate about how something works, and come to a conclusion that is unique to their table.2: I have to be honest I haven't actually seen anyone argue the other side of your hypothetical.  Now, I've skipped some pages and some folks are on ignore, but if your argument (and that of [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION] as they seem similar) comes down to: if it's in the book people will demand to have it...I haven't actually seen anyone make that demand.  At least not in this discussion.  I've seen it for races, classes, that sort of thing, but a list of prices is not a shop.  It's a guide for what, if you had a shop, those items could be reasonably priced at.I don't like magic item shops.  I DO like magic item prices.  Because the former is something I don't enjoy running in a campaign, and the latter is a tool for designing the economy of my campaign.  One does not imply the other and I'm sure there are people running 5E with magic item shops even without a price guide.</blockquote>
