You'd be surprised how difficult Scratch can be for new users. When I first used Scratch at 12 years old, it took me an hour or two to figure out how to drag a block to the scripting area.

Why remove a feature that we can exploit?

Alright, I got my answer as to why we need stage fencing. I'm not even 12 yet and I know how to make all kinds of games! I only had one idea of how hard programming in Scratch is for new people.
