Haven't really seen a whole lot of people yelling, just voicing their disappointment. I think the point is that the wording in DW is ambiguous. Some people expected something completely different than what was actually planned. The amount of information that we were all apparently supposed to infer from the word "with" is a bit ridiculous, whether that's on the people running DW or the flights relaying the information.

A clear labeling system in DW would solve that problem.

And honestly, the dom culture is different in each flight. What you find stressful, other people might thrive on. Flights often all-out battled more than once a year. In my flight we stopped battling as often because of cost, not stress. Which is what I'm assuming most flights have done. I just thought Water was being extra ambitious in planning their battles this year.
