It was really off putting for me aswell when I started this game. It still is, I just roll with it because after years of no change to this despite many people asking for it, it's likely never going to change.
But it does still irk me. I'm not against looking up things myself and I enjoy theorycrafting but seeing so many meaningless numbers ingame because the game itself provides absolutely no context aside from "This number is higher. It's probably better" still bothers me.
