So... lemme see if I have this right...

... it has always been a game of discovery...

Yeah. It's cool, if we don't know the formulas, relations and so on. This part doing the game "smart", allowing to use our (players) abilities to understand these relations. It's really cool, in my opinion.
But also, i agree, here must be a detailed help about BG promotion. Because at my point of vision, the game in lower brackets and the game in BG are different games at all.
Also, the promotion is a part of the rules of the game. It's cool, when we are trying to approximate the fights relations. But it's not so cool, when we are trying to approximate the rules of the game...

And again: Weaw lays down what I actually tried to say:
Guesstimating the the internal game-mechanics is a fun part.
The game-RULES ,however, should be presented on a silver plate.
With an afterdinner-mint and a "pretty please" on top of it....
