Well, I went to (physical) worlds this year. I wasn't especially afraid to lose because of lack of practice, and relunctantly I ended up 2nd, which is far more than I expected. After that I haven't touched the cards and I haven't played online, mainly due to lack of time (this weekend I've been out home on tour, to give an example) but also because I ended up a but tired of having to play the same old stuff in order to win (and yes, I like to play competitively when I attend tournaments) and having to face the same old stuff when I make it into a final of a tournament. I love Middle Earth, it's definately the best card game I've ever played (and I have played some) but due to meta stagnation, I need to stay away from the game from time to time in order to make a come back and be eager for games. Otherwise I get bored of playing Balrog, Wolf Radagast, etc.Bandobras Took wrote: I honestly think a larger problem is that experienced players who have less time to play these days are afraid of losing because they're not in practice. I was fairly busy the last couple of months and didn't end up playing a lot of METW.
