I've always wondered why there isn't something that shows the actual percentage gains for mods & perks. I know I'm not alone either & regardless of the reasons behind why this doesn't exists, after a decade I think someone could take some time & figure out how to fix this irritating section of Destiny; especially considering what a big part of the game a player's build is. Knowing the real resistance percentage or damage buff without having to find it online or try, do the research & math in game or memorize it from whatever you may figure out over time would save me so much time when I'm trying to build into a new artifact or activity. So many games have numerical values. This game is hard enough to understand for new players as is & as a veteran player since the launch of D1, I can honestly say that it's still not that clear to me. If a resistance mod cost three instead of two you'd think it would be better, but it's just different. Sure it covers a wider variety of damage, but it's still not necessary worth three points. The stacking of mods really needs clearly stated values too. Maybe once they decide to pick a system & stick with it, instead of changing the mods & perks with each expansion, they will take the time to fix the this annoyance, one hopes... 🙂🖖🏼 If anyone thinks this makes since, please share it with Bungie.

One of the reasons they use terms such as greater lesser etc is it makes it easier to update things so when things change they don't have to go through an individually change each items wordings and values that are listed as those are usually set up separately but having a more defined range of what lesser or greater is would be nice like a window between 1 and 5 or 5 and 10 but the logistics of it makes sense with the wordings so they don't have to update each individual item that would be a lot of work and having live numbers attached to gear that update when the game updates requires quite a bit of processing power and coding to attach those numbers to the live system for buffs and debuffs and the like It would bog down the game and would require a lot of extra leg work to do so That's why the items are listed as such It sucks but that's the best way to do it without generating a lot of unnecessary work for something so relatively small in the grand scheme of the game overall is concerned
