[QUOTE="Ainulindalion, post: 6743589, member: 6801319"] I don't think the Admins [I]can[/I] fix the issues that I perceive. I don't understand how people don't see what I think is perfectly obvious, but I'm willing to admit that their thinking it likely different from my own and leads them to different conclusions that I can't understand any more than than they can understand me and mine. If you notice, the first three steps in my time line all start with something WotC does - the core problem lies there, not with the Admins. Important: When I say 'solved' in the suggestions below, perhaps 'mitigated' is a better word. But solved is easier to type. Now, I think a few of the problems could be solved by stickied (or whatever it's called on Facebook to keep things at the top) informational posts to the major DDAL groups. I think there are a number of problems that could be solved by actually explaining what the various moving pieces of AL actually do on a regular/daily basis through an article on the AL website (and a general website reorganization, but that could just be me hating the current web design). I think a number of problems could be solved by immediately handing some form of something to work on to people who offer to help (do monsters need to be typed up that got left out of the playtest version? Things like that.) Or explain why they can't actually help. Come up with new responses to people that sound less dismissive. I don't have any suggestions - those of you who have interacted with me on the forums and on Facebook know I'm not tactful, it isn't my skill set, and I'm extremely snarky, which wouldn't improve matters. Explain why you chose an option when you issue a ruling (on something like the random magic items in OotA, or the summoning rules). I haven't seen any of those which didn't have discussion previous to the ruling without other provided options. This will help people to understand the decision making process and understand the concerns which you are attempting to address. [/QUOTE]
