(The following is merely my opinion, and shouldn't be read as a flame of any kind) Well, I for one do not think this is really an issue. Things don't have to be realistic to be fun. I have played on games where darkness is a major component, and can say it is pretty damn annoying, and it completely detracts from the fun. Exploring zones with 'realistic' darkness is a frustrating experience at best. If you want obscure cf topics to try to improve, take a look at why there's a million magical weapons/armors/jewels floating around, yet nobody knows how to make them. Or wands, or potions either (besides the obvious "they did once, but lost those spells"). There's many areas of CF left to be added, and I'd rather they were aspects that made it a richer, more enjoyable experience. Not to imitate life in every annoying detail.
