Okay, Steve, let me start by asking you where you got your information.

"...then they ban the 15+ players from the STS!"
Hmm...judges?
*BZZZ*
Ohh, sorry. Incorrect. WotC is simply not giving away trips to the STS for
15+, but you're still free to play in there 15+ _division_. Kinda unfair to
Judge them on things they haven't done, isn't it? -_-;;

Now, THIS comment really cracks me up:

"First they ban every card from Base and Base 2"
Um, Steve, this is to HELP the enviornment, not hurt it. Would you rather
play in an enviorment that allows people to play decks like this:

-12
4 Sneasel
3 Rocket's Zapdos
3 Cleffa
2 Electabuzz

-11
6 Electric Energy
4 Dark Energy
1 Recycle Energy

-37
4 Oak
4 CPU Search
4 Itemfinder
3 Imposter Oak's Revenge
3 Rocket's Sneak Attack
3 Team Rocket's Trap
3 Super Energy Removal
3 Energy Removal
3 Misty's Wrath
2 Lass
2 EcoGym
2 Gust of Wind
1 Nightly Garbage Run

...or would you rather play in an enviroment where a "Rouge" deck would last
more than two turns?

So you don't have the right cards? Do what the rest of us are doing: GET
THEM.

Please, people...WotC is trying their best to fix the game. They aren't
trying to hurt it.
