mw is not arcanes only product, nor is it their best selling product. that belongs to sheriff of Nottingham i think. and they have other games coming out all the time. so not sure why folks think otherwise, but they are doing fine from what i can see. now of course we are all focused on mw because it is what we all want to see more of, and the sooner the better as we have been patiently waiting for the new mages to come along.
sure the rules could be tightened up some. fix some timing issues, and clarify murky places. and perhaps some conditions could be tweaked. but i for one really like the complex nuance that is mw. i do not favor reducing the conditions, as they all make sense thematically. so separate ones make a lot of sense. the myriad allow for different logical sorts of effects. and i think a few cards could be adjusted too. i think some cards are too powerful for their cost, and others are too expensive for their effects. but not sure what a 2.0 would look like as a complete overhaul would just be a different game, and most likely watered down and just not as good a game. i do not want to see the game standard lowered to meet the lowest common denominator like the rest of life seems to be. we are all capable of handling the complexity, so we want to keep it. dumbing it down would be horrible from my perspective, and i would very much likely quit playing, or certainly not purchase any new release like that.
