Yep, milling is what makes people move away from a game. I was away from MTG for over a decade, came back last month or so. In the higher tier of Standard it is absurd, everytime I play against mill, which is often, it is a miserable experience even when I win. It often makes me stop playing the game for the day.
What is the point of collecting cards if the one most reliable strategies is for an opponent to get rid of your cards before you even have the chance to play them? To make things worse, the decks are not even that difficult to make! There is no skill in mill, at least the one in standard. I really hope they don't make more milling cards.
