2500000000 = 2,500,000,000 = 2,500m or 2.5b
Now we have the difference between 25m 250m and 2.5b - that's very easy.
So it's no problem to have numbers of thousands of billions without a visual problem at all.
The only problem I see is the way numbers are displayed all over the globe especially in asian countrys. Blizzard needs to force the us system on all people or many countrys with unique number formats could run into visual trouble. For example. Big numbers in China are displayed very different.
shí = ten
yì = hundred million
shí yì = billion
bǎi = hundred
wàn = ten thousand
bǎi wàn = million
A number like 1,101,110,000 would be written out as 十一亿一百一十一万 (shí-yī yì yībǎi yīshí-yī wàn).
So you need to do additions in your head to get big numbers or remember all the symbols for the combinations like 百万 for million.
