1) For the record, I honestly *STILL* didn't know any of the particulars until I pulled up the helpfile. This tells you exactly how much "Imm knowledge" I've gained. Part of the reason is because just become an Immortal doesn't mean we suddenly get insight into everything. Just about anything I *KNOW* specifically about skills comes the same way every other player has it. Personal experience, or Daevryn/Umi/Zulg being nice enough to detail something out for us. The other half is that I *JUST DON'T CARE*. I'll look at named/unique mobs as I pass through, but I don't spend my days running through an area looking at every detail if I know the area. I still get edges, and the ROI works for me.

2) There's *ALWAYS* obfuscation. Help bash doesn't tell you the exact formula of how much your skill %, size, weight, etc matters, only that they do with possibly some information on what stuff matters most. This is almost EXACTLY the amount obfuscation I'm suggesting towards the edges. Spelling out exact numbers always seems to lead towards people feeling they absolutely have to see 100%s. No-one gripes that they just have general terms of wilderness time or form ability.

Ultimately, CF comes down to the fact that no-one *FORCES* you to do anything besides RP, and that you can't opt out of PK. You want edge points, go explore. Or retrieve. Or write roles, or RP. Leave the how important it is up to you. Exploring not fun for you? Fine. *DON'T DO IT* Don't like retrieving? Sure, don't do that. Min/maxxing your character the most important thing in your life to be SURE you have every advantage? Sure, go spend two hours at lvl 1 looking at every sign, description, or noun you see. Personally, I find the game more fun typing bash isildur than look 4.rock, so that's what I do.
