Indeed. On the one hand, you lose the "mystique" that used to be associated discovering the magical powers of your new treasure...One of the best game-speeding changes I've encountered in 4E. The players love it, too.

...But on the other hand, it makes everyone's life much simpler.
I like this rule.
Absolutely! That level of information management would be a lot more acceptable in a computer game.Yeah, after a while, the mystique started going south. Then I'd have to keep track of what the knew, and what they didn't. And don't get me started on appraising gems and artwork. That was a NIGHTMARE in 3E. I had to know what the real value was, what the party valued it at, and what the guy they were SELLING it to appraised it at. Eventually I said "screw it" and just told them the values.
