There is no reason I should have to consult posts from months ago to figure out how much of a primary stat = 1 weapon damage, or how much a secondary stat equals a primary stat.

Why even have gear with stats if all the numbers on your character sheet are arbitrary and mean nothing to the player?
I agree with your OP completely, but just for the sake of argument, there are people who enjoy doing math and discovering BiS items on their own time. For these people, having the math essentially handed to you might make the game less appealing. I had a lot of fun personally trying to discover damage formulas for ranger in FFXI. To say that there is "zero logic" in doing this is fairly ignorant. You're acting as though people can't figure out how the game works on their own time, which is certainly incorrect. SE doesn't need to spoon-feed us stats for us to figure out damage formulas.

It is blatantly obvious, if you can do any sort of math whatsoever, that 11 determination is better than 11 skill speed.
