word to the wise from a 44 year old duelist

first my name is felton king and i am a 44 year old duelist.It upsets me 
that people are angry  that cards are being banned. Granted I do believe 
upper deck should reimburse everyone for these useless cards.keep in mind 
being fair, if people played with the same "staple" cards you wouldnt go 
buy new cards consequently, upper deck would stop producing cards because 
they wouldnt sell.Lets be honest I think most of us were unhappy with  the 
direction yugioh was headed. no matter what type of deck you used you 
noticed the same cards popped up in everyones deck and the game became lame.
You should welcolme the ban and take your game to the next level.Become 
innovative, shuffle up your deck and deal yourselves and new hand!Word to 
the wise dont replace banned cards with cards with similar effects this 
shows your innability to be creative!If you really have love for the game 
 have some intergrity get out there and experiment with cards.nothing is
  more exciting than beating someone with a cards they'd never suspect.. 
  in closing lets ensure that yugioh is not a passing fad like other cards 
  like pokemon,digimon and etc...Keep your fresh ideas flowing. yugioh 
  forever! One love! felton
