i think the more important question is, how is GL realistic to begin with? thats like saying, 'oh, we should make people not jump as high in halo. it would be more realistic'. GL is fine the way it is imo, and this would just add more complexity people dont want or need. traps are already useless with the null fuses. giving them a use penalty would just be another slap in the face on top of the #$&*@ slap null fuses were to begin with.

Hey! If people don't like challenges, why play the game? Like I said, I'm just throwing suggestions out there. I'm sure that the Powers That Be are already thinking up ways to xxx up our lives in the future regardless of suggestions.
