Is POP trying to kill competitive play?

Do you agree with this rant?

The problem with the rare candy change is that it is only for a format where pokemon SP are not legal. You have to consider that when you consider the balance of the game overall. A card does not exist in a vacuum, please get that!
 
Well guys according to the new rules you can now Seeker T1 too, making it unsafe to have a 3 Pokemon start.
 
Donks will be the easiest way to win, and thats going to make playing games less fun and people might quit because of this.
 
I'm fairly sure a LOT of people are going to quit playing competitively because of this. We're already playing weird alternate rulesets (Doubles, Triples, Golden Age, going to work on a way to do rotation battle) at my league, and I think it's going to get more interesting as the default format gets worse.
 
Sure, it'll be bad until rotation. Donk decks will ravage tournaments, causing overall disruption. SP will just become stronger than they already are, too. Evolution will be pretty much nonexistant. And yes, some people will quit. Not a lot, because...
There's the rotation.
Uxie's gone. Sableye's gone. The SP engine's gone.
And the game returns to normal, albeit significantly less fun for however long until the rotation.

OR...

P!P decides to do a mid-season rotation when the rules are changed. We never have to deal with SPs and ridiculous donk decks in a format where evolution decks are just too hindered to continue being near the top of the format. Nobody gets angry and quits because they play 2 turns in San Diego and never even get to draw a card beyond their first 7.
And the game continues along. Just think about it.

P!P, for the good of the game, please give us a mid-season rotation.
 
The other sensible method is to not change the rules to the B&W format UNTIL the rotation...but given the nature of the high school dropouts at P!P I don't think anyone will think of that. Can anyone even read this? :p
 
Sorry Kittymew, but you went too far in your attack against TPCI and P!P.

I don't care much for what the new rules will be.
