You're basing your whole point on the validation of quality through quantity, by stating that in some way just because GW has produced dozens more of scenarios than Fantasy ever did that it automatically becomes a more interesting game for everyone.
Uh, no. No I was not.
There were two arguments. One, that there were *no* interesting scenarios, and the other that numbers did not equal interesting.
My point is that looked at objectively, AoS has more scenarios than WFB ever did.
That is fact.
In terms of "interesting", my point was that there is greater variation in the available scenarios than just " stand here " or "kill that". Which broadly describes the basic premise of the Steamroller event pack scenarios.
So frankly, if you don't find variation interesting but *do* find fractionally different iterations of the same idea interesting, I'd suggest you're being disingenuous.
"Interesting" and "good" not being the same thing, by the way.
Just to clarify, I like the Steamroller pack. But it's designed for a game that is intended to be aggressively competitive, rather than just something to enjoy playing. So if you don't like AoS you won't see the fun in the scenarios in the first place, I guess.
I agree with you on your first point, as I mentioned before, so you didn't even need to mention it.
The second point is totally, utterly subjective. Either a person finds something interesting, or it doesn't - it's that simple.
I would like it if you could keep your suggestions of disingenuity and disonesty to yourself, thank you very much, especially when you are coming as horribly rude with that whole "laughing" matter. I also know the difference between the notions of "interesting" and "good", much like I know the difference between the notions of "variety" and "interest", aswell as "subjective" and "objective".

Best laugh of the day. AoS already has 4 times the number of 'official' scenarios WFB ever had, and even with the random elements of 40k scenarios AoS still wins on variety.
Citation, please? There's so, SO many WHFB 'official' scenarios out there. The campaign books, the General's Compendium, an army book or two, the big red rulebooks, Warhammer Skirmish, Warhammer Warbands, White Dwarf...
It really bothers me when people act like you could only play pitched battles or that Age of Sigmar invented the narrative scenario. There were a ton of interesting ways to play Warhammer, you didn't need to just line up and fight if that had gotten old.

I think the real question should be do you WANT it to die or be successful.
In New York City it has a 2 guys, one of which is a store employee on one night of the week next to the mass X Wing players group.

Personally I find it interesting to watch paint dry.
No-one can say that isn't as interesting as the complete works of Shakespeare, because it's completely subjective.
It's also worth 20 times more money than all the the Oscar winning films.
If ever I get tired of paint, I will watch a dripping tap instead... the ultimate thrill!

Indeed.
FyreSlayers = paint drying or Shakespeare?
Perry Bros ACW Battle in a Box = Shakespeare or paint drying?
Ironically, you can get the complete works of Shakespeare free nowadays.
