All of a sudden we have stat numbers beyond count. Is this a bug? Or a PTS thing? If it's intended, I don't like it, because I will never be able to calculate simple things unless I use a calculator.

    It's not a PTS thing, it's the shape of things to come in 1.6. It's been discussed. It's a way to make increases in stats more visible. 2002 reads better (to some) than 20.02

    They made it so stupid people would feel a more meaningful increase with the low % bonuses.

    It's so much more confusing though. D:
    I'd rather have 20.02 than 2002.

    Probably the attitude of most PC players. But remember, millions of console players are coming. Let the dumbing down begin. >:)

    They changed it in an attempt to trick people who don't understand math into thinking that the increases are larger than they actually are.

    It's basically the "Final Fantasy" approach. Why do 10 damage when you can do 10,000 damage per hit? Even if the 10 damage scales relative to level, people like seeing those numbers blossom and grow obscenely.

    I'd rather have a simple percent based. Mind you, I don't need 20.02%. I can deal with 20.0%, 59.1%, etc. I can deal with tenths.
