Infravision exists in sort of an unfortunate purgatory where it's very difficult to satisfy everybody.

I run with 21% gamma and I can see perfectly fine with infravision at night. It's not supposed to be GREAT vision, it's supposed to be navigable without aide. You are still supposed to want a decent light source with infravision but it's not a requirement to be able to see a tree 5 feet in front of you.

Innothule and Feerrott are very dark, foggy zones, which does cancel out the benefit somewhat.

There's also a sort of confirmation bias going on here - if you really want to see the benefit Infravision provides, start a half-elf and human in Qeynos and switch between them, looking out of the gate at nighttime. The difference is pretty big.

Unfortunately, with the differences in monitor brightness, system gamma, ambient lighting in your room, glare on the screen, etc. etc. etc.... it's impossible for us to provide something that will work for everybody.

Most people seem happy with infravision and ultravision, so I don't foresee any major changes. I might tweak it a bit more but I wouldn't count on it.
