[QUOTE="Gamgee, post: 6356548, member: 6750483"] A lot of the time it seems to be both. I simply blame bloat. I had one player say he liked large numbers more because it made him feel more different even though the same actions could all be accomplished with only 1/4 of the games numbers. I tried the explain to him that all it was is a superficial number... and that the pacing was consistent between the examples I showed him. He didn't care. He just wanted bigger numbers! BIG! Oooo! Shiny! The only thing that even slightly swayed his opinion was the math would be easier if it wasn't so high. Granted there are some niche uses for high numbers it rarely comes into play. Stupid if you ask me. So what does that say about humans in general? I put the blame where it should go. The people, not some edition. I wish I could have more faith in the consumer and mankind, but no. Every time I do they just let me down. Time and again. No wonder why companies treat them like idiots. [/QUOTE]
