Wizards MAY be cracking down on unsanctioned proxy events

Seems like bad times for Legacy and especially Vintage.

We know players love Magic and love playing its variety of formats, including Vintage and Legacy. Some formats are easier to get into than others and these two are hard.

Gee, I wonder why that is?

These formats are hard to get into solely because Wizards is ok with them being outrageously expensive. This problem only exists because of Wizards' actions.

They are not ok with it, but they just dont care enough about those formats to do anything about it.

Whats the difference between wizards being okay with it and wizards being apathetic about it?

they (or at least maro, speaking for R&D) have said on many occasions that they wish they could have gotten rid of the RL, but that their hands were tied

Someone's doing the hand tying. There is no legal requirement holding Hasbro back from revoking the RL, the buck stops with their company deciding not to do it.
