Back in which day? There never was anything like that around here, and I don't recall any kid complaining about the unfairness of better equipment because they went to get themselves good equipment.
I know what you mean about skilled. After you watch the anime too much, you tend to think skill means being able to use a single Beyblade to defeat everyone else. However! Part of skill also lies in knowing what to use! The best players only use the best equipment, in any activity. When you go watch races, do you ever wonder why their cars are so expensive? Do you ever wonder why music companies want to endorse artistes?
