It was ironic. The reasoning being: if people like challenges then let's make it even more challenging...
Yes, I got it.
But let's always remember that they can get rid of the totally illogical shiite and still make it as challenging or more challenging than ever. Illogical does not equate to challenging, it just equates to illogical. Only the guys who are currently taking advantage of the illogical stuff that they have learned how to do are against that. It seems to me that that is a selfish point of view, not considering what is good for the game.
Illogical isn't good for the game.
