I can't speak for anyone else, but my main issue was from the original email I received that only listed "Warmachine Weekend" for the Warmachine/Hordes players. When I think of Warmachine Weekend, I don't think of a weekend spent playing Warmachine, I think of the actual event. When I read that, I was concerned that every event at WGC would be geared towards qualifying for Warmachine Weekend. No offense to the people who run that convention, but I don't think WGC should be a fluffer for them. There should be a healthy mix of qualifying tournaments, as well as one-off tournaments.

Seems like things are going in that direction though, so that's a good sign.
