It's the downside of playing in tourneys...you can be better than 80% of the people in the tournament and still get nothing on your initial investment.
Switch to cash games only.

And the upside is you can be worse than 80% of the people and still get 250:1 on your initial investment. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
But more to the point, your dogmatism is unwarranted. Most serious players would prefer lower variance to higher variance, so that's an argument in favor of ring games and small tournaments over large tournaments. But the excitement of a large tournament is meaningful to some people too, and not everyone is primarily interested in poker as a way to grind out a consistent living.
In other words to each his own. Your dogmatic command shows no understanding of these differences in motivation.
