Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tia Nadiezja" data-source="post: 6722542" data-attributes="member: 6778763">I'm actually kind of done excusing the AL staff for the problems with Adventurer's League. The problems do lie mainly on the WotC/contracted adventurer developer side, but the AL staff - on Facebook, on the WotC forums, and here - have a single habit that makes the issues Adventurer's League's issues far, far worse.They never actually listen. Every time - every single time - I see people talk about problems with AL's organizational structure and content, be it adventure design, the fact that the hardcovers aren't actually well-suited for drop-in drop-out play, the complete failure of coordination with content developers that's led to the SCAG being banned from the season its own marketing copy says it's being published for, the fact that the people who actually sit in stores and run games don't understand how the structure works... the response of AL's organizational structure has been a combination of simply deleting posts (which has happened a few times that I've seen on Facebook) and saying that the problem lies on the individual store/GM level and that AL has no need to do anything about it.Adventurer's League is a mess. I've played at multiple stores in multiple cities, and no one who's been running games has actually understood the entirety of how the system works. Information is disseminated poorly, the adventures themselves are badly suited to the format in which they are being run, there are absolutely ridiculous, needless restrictions on both how characters are built and how they are played (why ban the Elemental Evil companion from being used with a Rage of Demons character when there are absolutely no possible rules interactions between tiny variants on backgrounds in the RoD material and a few dozen spells in the Elemental Evil stuff)... and every time any of that, at all, is talked about, individual GMs and players and stores are blamed when the fault lies squarely in the way Adventurer's League is structured.It needs to stop.</blockquote>
