I asked a simple yet terse question. There was no sarcasm in it.

Three reasons I can think of off the top of my head.
1) To give the player base an idea that their time is not put to waste, that there is character advancement and to reward players that play a lot while not leaving the casual gamer in the dust.
|
Why is this necessary?
|
2) This is an MMO, there will be more than just 2 people shooting at each other and not all of them will have only 100hp.
|
Planetside is an MMO also yet it does not have this. Again, why is this necessary?
|
3) That information was purposefully designed to show a specific point and should not be taken as concrete data.
|
The example is irrelevant, I can give numbers where a 10% difference makes a 2-shot kill a 1-shot kill.
The numbers are not interesting, the reasons for having it in the game at all are far more relevant and are the root of the issue.
