    My guess that such things would still happen in the future, but pretty rarely.

    But honestly, just recently I was wondering about this. Why community struggle with GW produced rules of quite a fluctuating quality for so, so long? Why not finally stop buying battletomes, say "no, this service is bad, we'll do it ourselfs" and produce a set or sets of partially or competely remade home rules for all factions and subfactions over time and then play by them at most tournaments? Honestly, coming from TW:W competitive scene, where all tournaments are played by their own rules and army caps (mostly by Shetland then Turin approved ruleset), this strikes me as extremely weird. Sure, it would be rough at first, you'll need a year or even two to rewrite and balance everything properly, but it would open doors wide for community feedback and creativity! Both 40k and AoS communities would be free from current sets of problems (most of imbalance, FAQ wait time, steep power creep, etc), rules would be widely available for everyone... And the best part, if this would eventually become mainstream enough, it would force GW as a corporation to invest in much better rules quality in the future. In other words, win-win.

    The most obvious question though would be "and how would we organise such rule creation process?" The answer is quite simple - however you'd like! As long as there are a few sets of home rules in circulation, natural selection will choose the best one and the most popular for most tournaments, while still providing alternatives for some. The most logical way though is to get together a small group or interconnected groups of most experienced and well respected players and start from there, probably beggining from the core rules, trying to keep everything as laconically as possible.

     

    I also do not believe that GW would try to legally stop such a thing (unless they want to make a really, REALLY bad and probably quite illegal PR move). It would not be a free distribution of their battletomes rules (and they are already in a free access on youtube and some other places anyway), but it would be just a free distribution of free home rules, may be somewhat remade from battletome basis, but remade nonetheless. As long as you'd play it with official models, you should be fine.

     

    So, why not?

    Because it not that easy? Look at the 9th age. Game made completly by "fans". Its totally unbalanced just like GW games. Also there is lack of major authority for Age of Sigmar communities. There was such thing for wfb, it was called "euro" rulespack and it was total cancer.

    The basic problem is that when posting here, people aren't trying to reach GW any more. (Edit: Except for @relic456, apparently. :P) They post here because they feel they can't get through to GW. Since they've been lead to believe that GW will never listen to them, they've given up on being constructive - at that point, they're looking for nothing more than somewhere to vent their anger.

    Yes exactly this. GW showed that they don't listen do constructive emails or comments. They only care if community rage on bigger scale.

    AoS 3.0 become a joke at this point. There is no a new single battletome. Faq broke so many things (lookint at you SCE "Translocation" prayer) and 3.0 is a bucket filled with holes. 

    Why GW? You went from ****** to awesome and now again to being ******.
