The original poster didn't say "I used to get X from exploring this area, now I get Y." He just made a vague assertion about the level that edges were available. Given that level isn't a factor in edge points, it's a pretty reasonable assumption that he doesn't know how edge points accrue. Providing an explanation of how they accrue would be a pretty solid answer, in that case.

If he has a different question, he should ask that one instead.

Stop looking for reasons to be a ####. Or at the very least, look for better reasons than this one.
