Cactus, you just killed this game, and you've lost a customer of nearly seven years.
That's an attitude I must say I won't miss.

What you mean is "I can't run speed the same way I've been running it for a while and I'm mad about it."

This is the biggest step toward fixing the broken meta Redemption has suffered from for a long time, in a long time.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

I'm sorry but middle of season rule changes that change the way I've played this game for seven years happen I'm liables to be miffed. And no this does nothing for stopping speed. It just changes it. As well as making every deck I have illegal.

First of all, I'm genuinely sorry you feel that way. 

But second, you're specifically quitting because of a dominant cap?  Can you be more specific on the reasons?

Lastly, don't you think saying Cactus "hates" you is a little extreme?

Here's a positive for you though.  Stay with the game instead, and sell those extra dominants that you won't be using.  You get to keep playing Redemption (and a more interactive Redemption at that), AND you have more money to buy cool stuff with!

So? It makes everyone's decks illegal, at least until they spend 45 seconds removing the excess dominants.

It absolutely stops speed, the only reason speed decks are viable is because of how distorting dominants are, try playing speed without AotL, Guardian, Mayhem, FA, Grapes or HT and tell me how it goes.

That completly BS 2 doms a deck rule isn't in effect. And anyone who says this increases interactivness is very hopeful. VERY. But possibly this may make my secret deck better. If so then I may be happier but I still think this was bad as a whole.

Yeah, yours is outrage to be taken seriously.

Red, please take my advice: Next time something frustrates you, before immediately posting another "I HATE I QUIT", please relax and let a little time pass, while thoroughly thinking through the pros and cons of whatever change has angered you. If you play some games with these new rules and still decide you hate them, discuss the reasons why. If you are still convinced that the game has so degenerated that you simply cannot play any longer, then you are justified in no longer playing the game, but if you quit, please quit quietly and not in anger. That is ungodly.

Glad you'll still be around Red. I think you should give the new rules a chance, and Rob has said that if they don't work out, then they may change after Nats. I think that even if some of the rules don't pan out, that it is a good idea to try them out for a season. I've seen a lot of threads lately on why Redemption isn't fun, or what Redemption needs etc. Rob has read those, and given players a respite. I personally am grateful as a player, host, and elder.

I'm sure you'll be happy to still go to Nats since it will be so close....  ;D

I seem to remember a post from early this year saying you'd never quit Redemption.

FWIW, I understand what you mean when you say NE (basically just Skittens and Apathy, as they're the most outspoken) are arrogant (I wouldn't say jerks). I'm sure I come off this way at times too. Most of the time. It's all internet talk though. Once you get to know people like Skittens, you see their posts through an entirely different filter, and it's not arrogant at all, they just believe and post their opinions. So stick with the game and come to nationals. I always enjoy meeting new people and it really does change how you see them on the boards as well.

Hopefully I didn't offend anybody, and if I did, it wasn't my intention (I hope I spelled that out clearly), and I apologize if I've ever rubbed anybody in an arrogant manner. The main point here is to stick with the game. The fellowship is amazing.

I deleted/modified some posts to make this thread less personal and less inflamatory.  Please everyone keep future posts here constructive.  I'm actually having a difficult time envisioning a possible way for a thread with this name and purpose to end up anywhere but bad.  But I'll give it a little longer before locking it just to find out :)

Cactus is a company, not a person. Now if he had said Rob ruined the game that would be personal. But as it stands that is find. Though quite frankly, this cannot end well no matter what.

Personally, I would like to see the OP remove the word "hated" from the thread title.  How about "Cactus, you just lost a customer" instead? (even though it seems they haven't lost this customer).  The more I think about it, I no reason to call the good people at Cactus "hateful" for these rule changes.  It's accusatory in a way that I don't think benefits anyone, and I also see no evidence of "hatred" from Cactus.  Just because they changed some rules?

Frustrating maybe, but certainly not hateful.
