Further simplify this simple game

You really want everything to be transparent, boring, simple enough for a toddler to figure out... there is a reason WoW gets so much hate, and why people who say "WoW did it this way!" get flamed. Too simple is too simple. Should just be happy you don't have to run past level 98 things anymore. WoW would never do that.

Whether or not the game displays accuracy thresholds for different levels of monsters in no way changes the very simplistic nature of this game's stat system. Keeping such things shrouded doesn't make the system magically more complex or superior to The Dreaded WoW.

If it doesn't make it simpler, heading toward too simple which I already think it is but give others the benefit of the doubt for, then why are people asking for it cuz it would make things simpler? Your logic eludes me.

WoW gets hate because it's cool and trendy to be "different", and since WoW has become the standard of MMORPG design, you hate it by default. Going the route of tribalism, there's also the "us" vs "them" thing.

That said, my point was actually that by being obscure (as put by Ildur), the devs are also giving themselves room to scale and balance boss and special mobs separate from normal mobs and thus requiring different stat caps from players. It also means the devs may be using different rules for said mobs vs normal mobs.

Well if something like that is the case they could at least gave an explanation along those lines.

Something informative like "We decided not to display crit % because it functions in a dynamic, situational manner that would be difficult to display in reasonably accurate way" instead of a patronizing "Nah, we're not going to do that. But good news: if you put more of that stat in your character it go up!"

I'll agree with this.
