If they use the ap correctly, I feel like FFG has a great opportunity to make the game good for competitive and casual play, or somewhere in between even. Competitive players strive to find the most efficient list and play it to win. At more casual tournaments, players who use these lists ruin it for the casual community. Often these lists are comprised of some broken mechanic. If you can essentially add the ap in to control the parameters of a tournament, you could potentially mitigate this problem. So, casual tournaments can still be fun without interwebs lists ruining them all the time. And frankly, if you're at a premiere level tournament and there's an internets list, suck it up. That's the nature of this game and many others. If it's not illegal, you have no right to get so bent out shape. The ap may be able to help fix issues faster.

There are two possibilities: either 2.0 dies after a period of time, or is rebooted after a period of time.

There are no other scenarios.

Wrong.

3) FFG looses the license.

Which would mean it stops being made (dies) or a new company picks up the license and makes a miniatures dog-fighting game (rebooted).

The whole thread was about dying of the system due to be being derailed by either powercreep or complexity creep, thus people loosing interest, unless reboot.

The third scenario is a perfectly healthy system with high player interest suddenly loosing the license. So there is no more new product, no more company supported events. It will then fade away slowly. (This can take a looong time, Man o War was discontinued 1994, and is still played in a very small scale).
