But, what is "harder" about OTF than the Open game?
Is it the Win conditions? (100 points, 40 more if you don't have & , 40 more if you don't have Alpha)
Is it the Download Limit?
Is it the Ban list?
I request reasons so we can see about finding solutions. General Statements of Badness aren't actually that helpful for fixing things.
But that is all that people seem to be willing to provide.
I think we solved that misunderstandings in chatting.
To answer so that others see it:
I DO like OTF for purpose of playing as pros. I DID write that here.
I do consider it complicated for other reasons, as it needs all decipher rules + 50 new sets + a long errata list.
I did make some concrete examples, in other posts and in the discord. Maybe using more decipher cards, focus on ONE casual format and not try to many. use different good ideas from it. provide easer yet more powerfull pre-constructed decks then we have today. make a rule document covering all rules for the format, maybe excluding certran card types like tactics, sites, tribbles, artifacts, trouble.
I do not wast to much time making it totaly concrete as trekcc officials as i invested many hours since beginning of 2021 and sent some info to trekcc officials directly who take up to 10 month for even replieng. so if you don´t know all my suggetions, its because they are in direct communications, different threads, discord server and posts over the last 14 years. I do not re-writte everything for everyone just because they (not meaning winterflames) claim i do not make concrete suggestions while the person not even tells me which of all my writings he has read.
I did create the Multiplayer format which IS a casual and balanced format in service for about 5 years, as i did not want to wait longer and my local friends (and sometimes online friends) needed such a format and play in it:

As most people (including me in the past and sometimes today) are reading something into others words that is not there, i see no points discussing with someone who claims he has understand my words while re-cititing them in a way where i do not see myselve understood.
I do thank you winterflames for asking to understand in the discord chat instead of claiming something what i did not say. I do not discuss or justify to people where i do not have the impression that person is willing to carefully read or accept that he is responsiblity for what he reads into other peoples words and claims stuff.
You woudn´t mind a Balanced Interactive Multiplayer Game with simplified rules, themed pre-constructed decks? see
