i like to give 1-3 new players a chance to play with the big boys. rosston has improved on a daily basis. if you are basing your judgment of him on the past and not the present, it isn't wise.
One of the [best players](http://warlight.net/Profile.aspx?p=202386428) I have faced in 1v1 contests. Very difficult player who I'd rate against the names I have seen mentioned here.
I know rosston is good. I just used him as an example because hes one of the few ive seen and yes, i saw him play about 3 weeks ago and i beat him (granted he did get bad positioning). I know hes better than me and deserves to be there. I was just meaning you didnt invite all the top nonmembers.
Lobstrosity's epic membership tourney final has begun. Szeweningen (retiring) vs. Luxis. Place your bets. The game chat reveals that if he wins, Szeweningen plans to give away his prize.
I don't have a problem with paying 30 bucks. I have had more hours of fun from this than Diablo 3 so far (which was 60 bucks).
My only hesitation is that my wife thinks these types of games are silly and we have shared finances. With Diablo, I had gift cards to purchase. I can't do that here. I could set aside cash here and there, but there isn't a way to purchase with cash really.
One other factor is an app for ipad. If I had that I would easily drop 30 bucks on it (and figure out justification later). I don't feel like I would play enough to take advantage of my membership without that.
Speaking of which, if there was a member upgrade in the apple store (once that app is done), that would make things easier for some people (who have itunes gift cards).
