    I'm a little confused by clamoring for another 5 node PvE with faster than 8 hour refreshes and a 3 cap.

    AM has 8 hour refreshes, it’s legacy and the nodes aren’t as grindy — This makes it faster than B4T.

    Legacy is way faster with all the card combos from card pool of 2k+ cards and 40+ pw.

    So AM will be like BoFT for people without strong legacy cards. Been grinding about 2 years and have 118 legacy mythics and 84 legacy rares still to craft

    When I started out and joined a coalition I didn't have a lot of good cards either (long time in bronze) and couldn't beat any on the final node in AM. So what? That's how it's supposed to be.

    Whoa whoa whoa.

    Uhhhh i was talking about how grindy it would be (like BoFT) for people without them crazy legacy cards. 

    And also about how inaccessible legacy cards really are, considering how long i have been playing. 

    Maybe your comment wasnt directly related to mine *shrug; but i edited my comment with the quote tag to ensure clarity.

    Jimpark; honestly I don't even get how I misread your comment (grindy instead of difficulty). Sorry :v

    Cancelling "Race to Orcas" is annoying as we had people practising for it....

    Some types of changes are harder to adjust to than others...

    A bold move that's hard to fault, really. . A lot of people were pretty anxious about the potential of facing Legacy decks.

    Thank you. That is a worthwhile reason!

    We understand the frustration, however it was canceled to avoid the Legacy in Standard bug until the fix can be implemented in 2.9.

    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    This is the correct response. Kudos.

    edit: I know you were waiting for my approval, of course.

    I suppose they could run Avoncyn’s Madness instead. <ducks and runs>

    I was really looking forward to finally getting that screen shot. I missed the last time.  I faced a legecy card in a standard event.  You guys did the only thing you  could though.   There is always next weekend.

    Couldn't you at least have replaced it with a PvE Coalition Event (not BoFT)? Probably a better choice than leaving us empty handed all weekend.
