To me there's 2 kinds of tweaking. There's basic tweaking, where you basically do what you can to get a base to move where you want it to. And then there's competition tweaking, which is mostly about all out power and speed. From the remark that 'tweaking is ruining the hobby' I would venture to guess that a person who would say such a thing is probably stuck in an arms race with their fellow league mates and isn't winning very often. It would be very easy to say enough is enough and want to leave.

It's sort of like drag racing. Not everyone has what it takes to keep up with the top fuel alkie dragsters out there. But there is just as much fun in street stock racing. Sure, you may not be burning 10 second quarter miles, but dialing in at 15.07 and hitting it on the head 4 times in a row has it's own rewards.

So it is with tweaking. Everyone should learn how to do the basic pinch and pulls needed to be able to straighten out a base that is turning small circles. They can have just as much fun playing against others that also do basic tweaks. It's trying to keep up with the Jones' out there that can be frustrating.
