You're a customer. I'm a customer. We both let the seller know what we want and they decide which is better to deliver. I understand why you enjoy the game being fast paced. You yourself said most other TCGs are even faster, so... have you considered that you can play them? I am not telling you to stop playing, I am merely pointing out you have alternatives. I don't. I've tried other TCGs and found Pokemon to be my favorite even before factoring in my fondness of the franchise itself.
Sure, you have a right to complain. At least while you complain, don't boast that you know how to make the format better. Understand that your adjustments to a format only satisfy you, and those that share the same opinion. I've read your posts and you act like everyone wants to see slower play and stage 2s. Slower does not = better. Heck faster doesn't = better. Again, I'm not advocating 'fast format for life!' I'm merely suggesting that our format isn't bad. If the tables were turned, and it were a game of set up, I shouldn't complain either, so long as it was a good format otherwise.
If I should accept the way the game is, and complaining is inevitable... shouldn't you simply be silent and accept my complaining? If the game remains fast paced, at least I've been allowed to say my peace. Well, unless you're in charge, apparently.
If I should be silent and accept your complaining, shouldn't you be silent and accept mine? This can go on forever, and isn't a very good point. We're having a discussion here, I'm going to try and explain that you are wrong and that I am right, while you do the same, respectively. I feel as though people shouldn't complain about this, and if they do, their complains aren't very logical with the grand scheme of players and their opinions. If you feel like I shouldn't voice my disagreement, then say so, but I get the feeling your comment above was entirely hypothetical.
And this is why I pointed out you have reason to be biased. You said it yourself: this is the formats where you have done the best and you love it. Would you be so fond if you not only weren't on top, but were actually performing the worst you ever had? Doing well this format doesn't negate your input, but it does color it and needs to be acknowledged.
My apologies. That meant to read: my greatest achievements came from the era I was previously referring to. Some of the "back in the day" eras. My point was that I am successful in both.
Your point actually seems to be that I shouldn't be allowed to voice my opinions on the game,
Again, of course you have a right to complain, but I don't agree with the complaining.
I hear people's complaints, and I look to see if there is a way to solve them. :
The method here, is to make others complain as well. It's an endless cycle. Why not complain about something that doesn't have such a solution, perhaps when the format itself actually is bad, and everyone (more or less) can agree. The release of BW rules with the existence of Sableye was a perfect example of how the format would have been terrible, and everyone agreed (more or less).
