You guys gripe because WOTC won't produce new maps, then when they are going to give out new maps with posters of the next set you gripe at that. What gives???
Yes I get tired of playing the sam maps in tournaments all the time, but I deal with it. I like the fact that i could get a new map for free or for little cost. Will it be DCI leagal? If not I assume that you all will gripe about that too!
And please don't use the arguemnt that you or your freinds has poured tons of money into the game, and that with out new maps what are we to do? I too have poured thousands of dollars and many man hours into this game, and it is a hobby i really enjoy. It has allowed me to meet new folks from around the world. If you think you need a new map there are tools that allow you to make your own. Invest some of the time you are complaining and refoucus that energy to create something that will be enjoyed by the communitty.
This is not aimed at anyone one person, but i am getting a bit tired of the constant complaining.
I think the gripe comes mostly from the fact that the set posters are not easy to come by and that some people question WotC's assertion that they could not make money on a map pack.
Honestly who here would not buy a map pack of new, DCI-legal, quality maps? I know I would buy at least one and probably more depending on the price tag just so that others at the LGS could have something new to play on. I don't think I am alone in that regard, either. As I said earlier, my LGS didn't even get a TFU set poster, and only got two of them for A&E. They'd better be seriously increasing the production of the set posters to accommodate demand, or this "solution" solves nothing.
I'll still play the game with or without the new map/s, but playing the same ones over and over does get a little old. I have the luxury to not have to worry about how much money I spend on minis and minis-related products, so I welcome all the new SWM product that they care to produce.
