On another note, I love how people just shoot down suggestions by just looking at whats presented in front of them. Why dont you SUGGEST AN ALTERNATIVE? Modify the values if you think they are overpowered, suggest a different approach to implementation. Think! This should be about constructive conversation, where we try to make a suggestion viable, and only discarding it when we cant arrive at a reasonable outcome.
As a fond advocate of this section of the forums, and normally someone who is happy to stand up for this kind of thing - I have no alternative to this suggestion as I just don't like the concept at all for the reason (albeit brief reason) that I gave before.
