I played PACG again this year at Gencon. I have used this event as fill in time between other games. I didn't exactly notice the format changes and ended up signing up for the open 3 times. I played it once and didn't really have any interest in playing it again. (Our team scored the lowest). I exchanged those extra tickets with others that wanted to play. I have a complaint about 2 of the GM's at the games that I played. One of them played with us, which is fine, but made an error. I called him out on it but didn't argue. He discarded a spell for damage and then recharged the spell as he said he played and was allowed. My second complaint, is another GM cheated for us to allow us to win the scenario. I get it cause 3 of them were new-ish but I'm not good with it. I let if go and counted the win. I'm not calling these people out per se but I think standards should be maintained.
Finally, my last complaint, I think that players that are borrowing pre-built decks should get a pre-made deck. I mean that has been completely built and ready to play out of the box instead of taking the time to build it at the event from a deck. Example: If they want to play a fighter then they get Flenta with the 15 cards already built. The next person can use the same fighter. Its not like they are keeping it to put in deck upgrades.
Just my .02 cents.
