Now we're on a new forum I figure it's a good idea to raise once again the problems the decisions that FFG have made have caused.
At the beginning of the year I took an interest in the AGOT LCG and following the advice given by more experienced players on the old forums I bought up cards from ITE, AHoTh, AHoTa & FKE, along with ITE and FKE starters and ITE Legacy Packs on the assumption that I could use these cards to supplement the new Core Set when it came out.
There's no existing meta around here and I built a number of decks with the cards I had to try and get my friends interested in playing and getting their own cards. I also signed for the Night's Watch as I planned to try and push the game once the Core Set was here to try an establish a local meta.
However, on the eve of the release of the Core Set I find out that I have now invested over £100 in cards I cannot use. This quite frankly stinks, and all my enthusiasm for trying to invest in and promote the game has evaporated.
I wonder if I'm the only person in this situation? Assuming I'm not, I wonder what other people in this situation think? I guess we're powerless to change FFG's decisions and so the only choice we're left with is to sell the cards we have (at a loss) and go play some other game instead?
