I know that (Seemingly) a lot of people complained about 'grinding'. I must have missed, or glossed over the folks complaining about a lot of edges.

I guess, that while the change made does make the 'less edges' people happy at the same time, the same "grind" produces less benefit. Now, speaking from a min/max standpoint - people are still going to 'grind' this, and be grumpy they get less of a return.

I really think you guys could have some big wins if you implement ways to accrue edge points that are not grindy, do not require direct IMM input, and enhance things like PK/Exploration.

NBM's idea of hard mob killing for edge points is a decent example (who cares if I can walk through every room in seantryn sewers, and look at xyz in room descriptions...if I can down the blademaster I am rambo!)

Edge points for some deaths (raiding/defending/dying to an enemy cabal member/things that support cabal wars) could be another good idea. I know you've said in the past that you don't want to reward death..I agree with you 100%. But how about rewarding bravery against odds?

Honestly, I just dislike nerfs without some sort of..counterbalance? And as I've said, it really feels like I just lost a way to accrue edge points that didn't rely on following an IMM, and being active in RP'ing with IMM's.

I think that out of all the methods to gain edge points that the obs explore, and PK methods are harder for "newer players". I myself pretty much suck at obs/explore.
