you can't blame GW for the fact that today's youth in general are getting dumber and dumber than the previous generation...
hell, half the kids i deal with in the 12-17 age range still can't even navigate the current codicies!!!
thank god we don't have those armoury pages anymore! the last time i sold a smurf 'dex to a 14-year oold, it took me 15 fething minutes trying to explain how the army list works!
so yes, the simpler codicies are a god-send... though as is being proven time and time again, they still aren't simple enough for everyone.
cheers!
