This. This post right here. This is why I say that.Except that RPers are not, in fact, winning, because they are cut off arbitrarily from the fun spells and races. They are, in fact, losing.Not at all what I said. I'm against arbitrary application of rules where they don't help. I'm against inflexibility.Or some thought could be given before throwing out older content. They could wait until there is a significant amount of new content before doing so. If SCAG becomes legal for Season 4, removing EE from Season 4 wouldn't sting nearly as badly as removing it for Season 3 did.When it calls out this season and is banned from this season, that's a problem.When did I say that I despise convention play? THIS is it. This is why I get so frustrated with interacting with AL staff. I'm quite happy to have people go to conventions and play games and network and have fun. That's great! What bothers me is the emphasis on it - the statement that things can't be moved around for the tiny percentage of the playerbase that does AL in stores but things have to be made to cater to the tiny percentage of that tiny percentage that attends and games at conventions.I've been to a few conventions. They were great times. I got to meet people and play a lot of games and watch anime and wander around dealer rooms and generally have a blast. It was, in other words, its own reward - not something I needed extra things unique to the convention to be given to me in order to convince it it was fun. But it was also a tiny part of my experience as a gamer and a member of fandom, and it's a thing that a tiny portion of gamers get to experience in a given year - or, frankly, in a lifetime.I'd absolutely love it if you were to stop applying motives to me I not only lack, but have gone to great lengths to avoid expressing - just as, when I express that I think mistakes are being made in rules and design, I do my very best to avoid implying that I think this is malice. I know it's not. I'd appreciate the same consideration.</blockquote>
