hehehe ... Believe me, when I say there is "only one method" that doesn't create confusion, there's a reason why we know that. ;-)

Many of the original dual-cost tables used the lines you mentioned. Almost all new users, plus many experienced users, stated that the lines made it look like two separate items, not two different costs for one item.

On top of that, lines sometimes appeared where they were unwanted, going directly through content that was listed only once. We never figured out why. Not only did the extra lines make the display look ugly for those items, but they also added even more confusion to the situation.

We definitely want input from our newer editors. Often, they bring a fresh insight that the veteran editors hadn't considered. On the subject of dual-cost items, we tested literally Every. Possible. Configuration. We got input from veteran editors, new players, and non-players. We have been down this road, and the journey was long and hard. We do not wish to repeat that experience.

Again, we value your input, and we always encourage it. At the same time, I will be very much surprised if you offer an idea on this subject we haven't already considered--much less an idea on this subject that is better than what we're using now. Although persuading this community to alter the format of those particular items could be impossible, I always will encourage you to try. ;-)
