The blatant power creep, not refunding people for diamond nerfs (the 9 frogs legendary nerf), the quest nonsense, the utter failure of twist and the problems they let happen, the wild expansion breaking twist and wild for a month, the loss of a diamond from the expansion collection achievement, the loss of a board and several more.

I feel like no new board can mean 1 of 3 things. Option 1: They ran out of ideas for board secrets and interactions, or couldn't get them to work and they had to cancel it on short notice. Option 2: They axed the board and music in a way to cut costs and to see what they can get away with. Which begs the question what they cut next if the revenue doesn't increase. Option 3: They made multiple boards for this expansion and they start selling them as a new cosmetic in a later patch after the release.

As a big Total War: Warhammer fan, this situation feels oddly familiar. People who play the game will remember the Shadow of Change drama. Essentially, the higher-ups tried to see how little content they could put into a DLC while increasing the price. What I want to say is, it's not about the board, whether people think it's sad that it's cut or not; that's how they test the waters to see how much they can get away with. If we continue to preorder and buy the Tavern Pass, we show them they can do as they please. They need to see that they can't get away with this. For the first time in six years, I'm not going to preorder anything or get the pass. I hope many people will do the same.

I feel like on a set like this it's especially weird to not have a board. The more lighthearted whimsical sets tend to result it some of the better boards and enhance the fantasy of that set. There's often more going on with those boards and kinda set the tone for the expansion. More serious WoW based sets like Frozen Throne or BRM don't need a board as much to set the tone IMO so to go with such a lighthearted theme as the pilot set for not doing a board seems like a particularly poor choice.
