2500's not that bad, actually, though tables can get a bit crowded. The difference isn't much worse than switching from 1500 to 2000. GW has defiinitely given it the short end of the stick organizationally, though. No painting sucks. And the combination of big prizes/no entry fee/no painting or other soft scores does tend to bring out a few of the donkey-caves.

But free!

You know what they say: you get what you pay for.

I'm willing to go to some random store and play some grey plastic for free. Last year I met a guy who I still hang out with occasionally and had 2.5 good games.

Could they do a lot better job? Absolutely. But for what I paid, I'm not complaining much.
