It becomes unfathomable to think "cool, a staff with +2900 int!" It seems so bloated to say "awesome, I just crit for 19876972" and artificial to say that you feel an emotional difference between 1987606 and 19876069 or between 500K and 500M floating across your screen the way you used to for, say, critting over 1000 for the first time after innumerable three-digit crits. I totally understand that some of you don't feel that way, that it's just a number, and that's fine, but the majority do find it detrimental to the game, and do think it's broken and needs to be fixed. And honestly, with the guarantee that they won't break soloing with this change, I don't see why anyone would care that much one way or the other, so we might as well just go with popular opinion. Yes, I know, popular opinion isn't always right, yes, I know, if "it's just a number" is my argument than it can be your argument too, but in this case, my point is that it's just a number, so let's all just let this happen and move along to something that we'll all actually care about for more than 10 seconds after it is implemented.
