    What they should do is to have the World Championships be qualifier only. Then have a "World Championship Weekend" that is open to anyone. The Championships could be held at scheduled times with all kinds of side events running parallel. They could even tap other retailers in the area to host some of the side events.

     

    This would allow all fans to take part in the Championship weekend and enjoy the spirit of the event, if not actually take part in the Championship tournament itself. Maybe even set up an area with streams or seating for people to come watch the championship rounds.

     

    Also, maybe I simply am missing it, but it would be nice if they posted a list of retailers who participates in their organized play program on their website...

     

    C'mon FFG! Help us spend more money on you!

    Hello,

     

    I am another unsatisfied customer trying to register for the World Championship weekend.

     

    I was online and on the correct page at 11:59 PM, 8/17/15. I saw the button go live to register for the War of the Five Kings event. I clicked it and was taken to a page that said that there were 10 spots left. I entered the quantity of one for the number of registrants and then sat waiting while the page loaded.... and loaded... finally another page came up asking for a coupon code. I had no idea what it was asking for. After waiting another minute I decided to hit "Apply" even though there was no code. The page had no other instructions or button on it.

     

    After another minute or so of the page no loading, I was directed to a page that said the event was sold out.

     

    Frustrated, I checked my email to see if I received confirmation that I at least made it far enough to hold a spot. Sure enough an email was sent to me at 12:05 AM, 8/18/15. In this email were instructions and a code to use when registering for the event... that was already SOLD OUT.

     

    Can you appreciate how frustrating that is?

     

    This is the most convoluted and complex process I've ever seen for registering for anything in the information age. Seriously, it's easier to apply for a line of credit using online banking than it is to register for this event.

     

    The only way for Fantasy Flight Games to make up for this absolutely horrendous treatment of its fans is to hold another series of events (for free would be nice, but I would still be willing to pay for unique price support) to accommodate the fans who want to support their product.

     

    How about a weekend or two that we can sign up for (NOT USING THUNDERTIX) where there are multiple tournaments and we can still have the opportunity at the T-Shirt and Unique deck boxes and alternate art cards and play mats, etc. They could even partner with the retailers in the area to host said event the same weekend as Worlds.

     

    Not mad, just disappointed,

    Unfortunately, I did not make it into any events. Due to technical limitations and lack of information, the process did not work for me.

     

    I am asking anyone who feels the same to ask FFG to expand the event and work with the retailers in the area to offer similar prize support that same weekend so that the rest of us can enjoy their great games.

     

    Very disappointed in the process and hope they improve it next year...

    I just posted another subject, although for some reason, it has been posted yet. Anyway, just tried to register again and wasn't able to get in. You can read my other post for the details.

     

    Two thoughts: If the events are going to be limited to the best in the world, don't open them up to the public. Just make it an invite/qualifier only type of thing. Second, run side events for the rest of us who want to support FFG's products at a competitive level. Even work with the other retailers in the area to host said side events. Other retailers in the area host Magic Pro Tour Qualifiers, Grand Prix's and other high profile tournaments.

Oh, and list which retailers are participating on your website!

     

    If anyone else feels the same as I do, please post comments. FFG needs to see that this has been a huge mistake and this is a big opportunity for them to show the fans the love that I know that they have for us.
