Given everything I know about our playerbase and and its tendencies, I just don't think this is a good idea.

Besides, the amount of armchair edge balancing we'd get (e.g., "A is X points and B is obviously better than A so it should cost no more than Y!!!" times 800+ edges) on the forums and via email would drive me right off the deep end, as my father would say. We opened Pandora's box once with edges. So fool me once, shame on .. shame on you. Fool me .. you can't get fooled again!
