    There are plenty of people who agree with you, but in the end, "better" here is subjective. The idea that the player should be told exactly how much every point of anything affects whatever is a recent invention. The implicit nature of stats and their effects is just a part of the game, and whether or not each particular player wants to discover their meaning for himself or would rather let someone else do the maths, this seems to be the route that devs are taking. As soon as they said "here are the damage formulas", they would be in effect saying, "here are the exact pieces of gear every single person should be wearing," and then those pieces would become mandatory wear.

    It is enough for us to know, "StatX affects this, this, and this, while StatY affects that, that, and that." In the end, the exact formulas will only make a difference for a few tens or a couple hundreds of people.
