Asherons Call: Soapbox - Balance?

I'm back and with me a new Soapbox. It's even timely and applies to some questions I asked at GenCon.

Eoj of Harvestgain talks a little bit about balance and how some of those "other" games seem to working on creating imbalance from retail. "Balance?" talks about some of the...interesting...preorder incentives that are being offered with upcoming games. (AC2 will not be offering incentives like these).

See if you don't think they create imbalance from the beginning then talk about it in our General Community forum.
