[QUOTE="exile, post: 6635115, member: 20068"] I hate that I have been disenfranchised from 5e organized play. Part of it is my friends (who either dislike 5e or like it less than other systems), part of it is where I live (eastern ky is not flush with game stores; and stores within a reasonable drive still seem to be Pathfinder country). That said AL puts a strong emphasis on store play (with absolute emphasis on public play), and sadly that makes it that much harder for me to get into (whereas I was easily able to play/support LFR, and still play/support PFS). This is compounded by the fact that new product being released for 5e is optimally used in an OP venue. My frustration is further compounded by the shifty customer service I experienced from AL representatives at Origins this past weekend. So, while I don't hate 5e, I do dislike the decisions made surrounding its OP support. In fact, I dislike these decisions so much that I will never register for another AL game at a convention again. I will never drive to a store to play an AL game. And I may not even buy any more 5e product. Yeah, I hate AL just that much. [/QUOTE]
