You expect the people who volunteer their time (including taking vacation days for travel) to hold an event for the enjoyment of others to also use their own money to pay for accommodations during event prep and the event? It's not like their staying concierge at the GCH.

Without the staff, regardless of where they live there would be no MA.

what is the added benefit for the buyers now that it's so much more expensive?

You do realize that once security shut it down all those years ago Disney started charging for the ability to even have the event, right? Did you expect MP to eat the cost of that?

Would you prefer that had been the end of it?

I think MA was better when it was smaller because it was more intimate and I knew everyone who was playing. I think I've had a blast in every event I've played regardless of the size though, because for us it's all about the fun. Yet if it was the same game and the same format for the last 10 years it would have become super boring.

Besides, now that all of us "veterans" are being priced out and/or deciding to "retire" it makes way for a whole new generation of players.

And I'll gripe that comic con is so frelling expensive and sells out super fast now. I want to go!
