What I should have said is that the larger AL community will, by and large, ignore those analyses as long as they're not relevant to AL play.** The net result still works out -- fewer people playing AL whose primary motivation for playing is character optimization, and a healthier campaign as a result.Here's the problem with that -- if you send certs to the store, you have to send lots of certs to the store, because having the store run out of certs causes its own problems (see the even now occasional flare-ups that come when someone sees a player with one of the cool faction folders from Tyranny of Dragons and realizes they can't have one, because they're long gone). If you're going to give a cert to everyone, there's no reason to make it a cert -- just make it legal for everyone. It's simpler, and cheaper, and doesn't have a built-in expiration date.With that said, I've gotten a cert at my FLGS -- but that's largely because our Regional Coordinator runs games out of that store, and I was fortunate enough to get a reward that way. Skerrit's point about possibly inviting admins and RCs (I'm not aware that many LCs get access to certs to distribute, but that may be just how things are done in our region) to your store is a solid one; just don't expect that it'll be like Oprah ("And YOU get a cert! And YOU get a cert!")--Pauper** - The exception being the occasional "but why can't I have X and Y in Adventurers League! that's not fair!!!!11eleven!" post on ENWorld or in other forums.</blockquote>
