Would you rather an RPG with simplified rules anyone can learn in a few minutes, or advanced rules which are harder to learn, but more powerful?

I guess the question is self-explanatory. A two-tiered RPG system is easier to understand, but not as powerful for balancing. My four-tiered RPG system is harder to learn, but much more powerful for balancing and simulating combat.

What do you think?

Keep it simple/easy

Make it more advanced

Simple as I'm not really into RPG so I'd prefer something with simple rules so I could enjoy the overall experience.
If I was more into such, I'd be saying the opposite.

I was thinking of having no leveling. Characters improve by collecting Gold and other Bounties and buying items at a shop. The items are only Slight improvements over the stuff the characters start with anyway. For example, the Barbarian or Warrior might buy an "Orc Bane" Sword which does +1 damage to Goblins and Orcs, but normal damage to everything else. There would be consumable potions available for purchase too.

Simple so we can "quickly start the game".
