Also, it's a game - you said it yourself. Why the heck would you try to extrapolate a post on a forum about a game to some personal "you're weak and society doesn't need you weak" attitude because they want to play A GAME in a different system or with a rule change?
I have no issues if people want to disagree on a fundamental level. Perfectly happy debating the system. Your post would have been fine without that second paragraph (which appears to have been thrown in out of spite and some political attempt to dissuade anyone to disagree with you by calling them a weak part of society). But I can't believe how much this thread has resulted in some people busting out the personal attacks - and from an alleged mature community of people! Sheesh. Someone's opinion of a system in a game does not make them weak. And cancer is no excuse to behave badly to people either.

You threw three shots at this game or its community, then state that others have bad behavior? Then when a rebuttal happens you play the victim. YOU STARTED THE BAD BEHAVIOR!!!!! I sense that your posts were driven, whether you know it or not, by do as I say not as I do. Think about that the next time you make the golden rule one of your defenses.
1. You stated that the community was toxic because people found a way to be more successful in this game. Someone wants their card sold more than another person. 1PP, 1000PP, it doesn't matter, they want their card sold more, and spend more time in the game to make it happen.
2... You threw a shot at 40+ year old's saying how ridiculous they can be.... How do you know these people are 40+, and why is it ridiculous? Even if they are 40+ year old's, they have a great deal of knowledge, and have paid many dues to this world to be happy. To be shot at by someone (just speculating by your 40+ comment alone) who is not 40+. I am not 40+, but I have always had a great deal of respect for elders, which is something that has become more and more lost over time.
3.... You threw a shot at the game for not being as competitive as fortnight or call of duty... This is one of the best sports management games out their. There are people who are very competitive over this. Don't discredit a phenomenal game stating that other games are more competitive.
In one post you threw 3 shots, then claimed that other things make the community toxic.
Again.... I don't know you, you may have a very strong will. But many good, competitive things have been destroyed, because of people who don't succeed in a strong system, have a louder voice. At that point the strong system must cater towards the people who don't have the same level of drive. Drive gets diminished, and we are stuck with more and more people losing desire to be strong willed. Then the second a strong willed person steps up, they get scrutinized for having bad behavior, because we are not understanding of the people that don't give it their all.
Also... Its a game, why are you taking shots at 40+ year olds, or the competitiveness, or the community? YOU STARTED THIS!!!!!
I very much like to debate.... I love to see all sides of discussion, and often times defend both sides. I will defend just about anything even if I don't agree with it, when something is being bashed. You bashed... I defended. The only way we get strong is to have discussion. Could their be changes to the game. Yes, I don't think its necessary to be successful though. To succeed in this game it takes a lot of time and effort. That's what makes the game great, and I personally don't want it to change. Put the time in and you will be succeed.
I would not have posted the way I did if you started this post civil. Your post was fine, but if you throw stones, don't get upset when the stones are thrown back.
You can't believe how much personal attacks were thrown out... In your post you threw three attacks. Think in the future about how you word a post. If you throw a punch, there is a good chance there will be punches thrown back.
In closing. You may be an extraordinary, human being. I appreciate that you fight for what you believe in. But I don't enjoy how you play victim after you started off as the attacker.
