I can handle 4 digit numbers but it gets tough to read at a glance once you get into the 5 digit range. I understand they did it to avoid decimals and such, but was it really that bad? Don't remember any complaints.

Annoying. Why? get us used to the old values then change them. Hate it.

Yeah, I'm very "meh" on the new numbers. If there was just a decimal point on there, it'd be a lot less incomprehensible. Great I have 20k Stamina... what does that mean!?

I think there are a ton of things you can be critical of in 1.6, but the most annoying thing about 1.6 is the number change. I understand why they did it. I still hate it. I hate the idea. Just leave the numbers the way they were, and make people put in multiple points into a stat to gain a 1 point change.

Keep it old school, the lower numbers are better and seem more meaningful.

1 is a small number.
Lets say 1 gold is the smallest amount of currency.
Lets say a Taco is the cheapest food a person can purchase.
It makes more immediate sense for a Taco to cost 1 Gold than for a Taco to cost 1000 Gold. This is because there would be 1-999 sequential numbers that would have no relation to any whole value when a Taco costs 1000Gold.

This is exactly what the "ESO Extreme Edition" feels like. Why are there all these numbers that reference no whole value?

TL/DR Taco's are yummy.

Just wanted to keep this topic alive and add that I deeply dislike the increased numbers also.

I know it's just one digit, and we could just pretend to ignore it and think in the lower number we like, but it's not the same.
If you look over 120 damage you can tell at a glance how much that is out of your 850 hp.
But if you look at 2841 damage with your 21345 hp you need a moment or more to count all the digits and see how much that means.
As a player it's a lot more comfortable to be able to quickly asses the value of numbers, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks this comfort is a lot more important than seeing some digits change when you add a 0.2% bonus talent.

I got the reasons why they put this, but I think they overestimate their importance. So you might not see a 0.1% stat improvement. Guess how many of my friends check their stats before and after spending a talent: NONE.
We TRUST the system, we know that if you spend that 0.2% bonus you will get it, even if your armor is too low for the difference to be visible. But again, most people aren't going to check anyway.

Instead, we get this unpleasant huge stat multiplication that makes me spend a few seconds every time I pick a skill or item to figure if those numbers are big or small, instead of doing it instantly.

I really REALLY wish we could go back to the old system.
At the very least, use digits instead with an option to disable them (and basically have the old numbers back in).

I hope someone reads these things and considers our requests.

Give me back 1.5
