Set symbols are important, and NONONONONO do NOT switch over to the letter system, have you ever looked at a Yugioh card before? It's a nightmare! At least with symbols you can figure it out really quickly by looking at Wiki or something, and most of them have some sort of significance to their set that you can identify. Zendikar block had hedrons, Scars block had a hexagon (made famous by tons of Mirrodin art, notably Glimmervoid), and the two after that were Mirran and Phyrexian symbols. Granted Innistrad was a little farfetched but we got over it.
I'm not saying they should change to abbreviations, but googling "magic set symbol INN" would be a lot easier than "magic set symbol kinda looks like a lyre maybe?"

Why would you ever try to google a specific set symbol? Why not just match it to the list of all the set symbols?
The people that complain about the people that complain about set symbols are likely the same people that put the bare minimum into their jobs. They can be described as "complacent."
The people complaining are likely the same people who complain about how much work they have to do at their jobs when they're actually leaving all the actual work for the rest of us.
In the same way you can tell someone is from the XVIII century because he is arroused by ankles, you can tell someone is from USA because he feels nipples disturbing.
