I'm not sure to what extent this really fixes the problems, but definitely a massive step in the right direction.

Looks to me like they actually listened. I'm looking forward to enjoying the game again without having the pressure. The 1x FNM is a HUGE thumbs up in my book, too! Great job, Wizards!

This is SO much better than what we had before. Thank you for listening, and working hard to fix the problems! Sure, it probably still isn't perfect, but the 1x FNM, World Cup, modifications to invites, especially nixing those grindy top 100 shenanigans, and allowance for small hobby-store PTQs are all exciting changes. Oh, and THANK YOU for the clear communication. The graphics especially help out a lot.

Thank you. 
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

I'm afraid I don't really understand most of these changes. From what I can tell they originally gave FNM a nice little bump. I'm sure they intended to get people excited to go out and play at the local level on a weekly basis. However, that made the world start falling? How is this different/better than the system that was in place before all this planeswalker points schenangians started? If you are gold level then playing Magic is your job, great. Why should I care about this exactly? I'm not being facetious. I genuinely want to know how this will impact the average magic player.

Not really. One of the big things they wanted when they created the new system was to end people sitting on their points, and this still does that. Side from that though, they more or less taken on the jobs of the old system with them being the base for byes, invites, and now the pro players club.

In all honesty this will have little to no affect the average player, but imo, the change never did so in the first place.
While I wasn't happy with the past annouchments, I was keeping faith that wizards would be able to put things back on track, and they sure did. Thanks for the hard work and keep up the good work :D.

"Friday Night Magic events run from September 5, 2011, to December 25, 2011, will remain with the 3x multiplier. Friday Night Magic events run after December 25, 2011, will have the 1x multiplier."
am I the only one reading this as "those in the top x of their region have finalized their spot in the fnm championship" ?
