no AFR is not the same as AFG, as Hurz said.
Like ropa said: Shopper existed very early on in the game and did not have the afr rule. It only got implemented because ropers had afr as a rule and they wanted to have it too. The fact that some of you call it a classic part of shopper just shows you don't know the history of shopper. Those who have been playing for a long time know that the wmdb tournaments never had afr as a rule. It didn't make much of a difference in the game, since everybody prefers to attack from rope anyway.
Your depiction of a mangled version of shopper is either wrong or you think it was a mangled scheme to begin with - in which case, why do you care?
Anyone who has played shopper long enough to understand it, knows that roping abilities play only a minor part. You can pretend that's not the case, but that doesn't make you right. I could beat a strong roper in shopper, but I couldn't beat them in TTRR or roper (unless they mess up REALLY badly).
