TT,
This is not meant in anyway as a flame or derogatory comment on your abilities. Please understand that. It is my opinion, humble and however uninformed it may be, that if you adjust this game to the lowest common denominator you end up making something that has a lot of already out there.
I see this game as an opportunity to gain experience at a higher level. If it is made easy enough to allow anyone to play at a high level with very little time or practice in the game, then you will find people looking elswhere to get the chalange most of us look for. Idealy, it would start easy and as everyone got better it would become harder and harder to keep the interest up.
WB was very hard for me when I first started... that being said it is still not an "easy" game per se, but the challange is mostly gone and so is the interest.
