Face it folks, every year someone makes a post like this and we always get the same responses.
Personally, I enjoy getting to go to places that are not in my backyard. Yes, Denver or my soon to be home of Orlando would be great, but I really get that Denver is not a family vacation spot, even though there is plenty to do, and that the weather in Orlando sucks during that season.
Yes, I am also lucky that I have been able to travel for events and that not everyone can, but really - do we always have to whine and complain about the locations every year?
What happens at worlds this year when next years location is announced? Easy, everyone will continue to complain - since it is not next door to their house.
Being next door to where one person lives is great, but what about all the other players that have to travel? Quit being so greedy...
