at first i was against having the 1k stone but the more i thought about it i wouldnt really mind having it there. Like its already been said it helps newcomers... and not just that.. for old players who would like to get unrusty etc etc could duel on it for a little instead of dueling outside since its a smaller place it would be better to duel there instead... helps more instead of having a huge space and you never get hit. also if a player is dueling at 1k stones it usually means hes practicing.. removing that stone wouldnt make him start dueling at 5ks+ because he wants practice.. not try to make money dueling yet. once the person feels hes ready regardless of having the 1k stone there or not he will move up to a higher risk stone.
