I really don't want to play two completely different games for AR versus VR. Also, I really like the on-site B&E hacker concept and want it to be just as playable as the remote hacker. I think nerfing AR is a bad idea overall, and I think it's hard to justify crippling what it can do or how fast it can do it, especially when you have a direct neural interface.
However, I do agree with the rulebook that AR could be a distraction, especially if you multi-task too much. I'm just not sure how big a distraction is reasonable. Modifiers to Perception only? All non-Matrix actions? All actions? How much of a penalty is appropriate? Should it depend on how much you "spam" yourself?
