Man, you are really ignorant. Magic: the Gathering is actually much more complex than this game (I'm not talking about code and programming, but game itself - tactics. training etc.) and this is coming from a guy that has been playing it for 10 years. I guess you haven't read the analogy at all because it's not relevant, have you? Only your reasons are relevant and none other. Grow up.
There is no relevance between those games.
Basically the argument is that the "Magic" game is complex and takes time.
My suggestions does not make the game simpler, but he other way around.
The problem is that on current system it is not about "time" and getting enough knowledge to get to the top, but about joining early enough to the game.
And instead of "shouting" like you are in a market or something, answer a simple (and single) question;
How can it be that in both the Spanish and the German leagues (DIV-I, "great 8" conference) there is not a single team that had joined BB later than seasons-4?
