    I'm sure some people love it, but can we have the new harvesting indicator show two decimal places?
    I've been building a unified formula for gathering rates, and those extra 2 digits are really useful for determining the differences at high skill vs low node situations where it's in the 90+ percentile.

    Harvesting is absolutely no fun when the % is <1%. In the real world, even clumsy idiots have a higher % likelihood of being able to figure out how to do a basic harvest with the right tools, and my avatar has been playing for a while.

    Can we have an option to turn it off?
    I don't want to know in the chat or in-game my percentage. I'd rather have the chat tell me "you have a high chance" (75-100%) or "you have a medium chance" (50-75%) or "you have a low chance" (25%-50%) or "you have no real chance" (0-25%) then a specific number. So I'd like an option for that.

    Hopefully we can have something like this by beta. Right now though I think numbers help us guage whether or not it's working as intended. Just think of it as debug info. :)

    I hope to see the numbers replaced by vague words too. Loved that in UO, the lack of explicit math and the discovery of the early days. Sure, with wikis all over the internet, it won't be long for everyone to figure things out, but the game should always go for the immersion. For the early alpha though, it really helps to see if the bonus are really working or not.

    I'd rather have an option to turn it on or off, that way people that like it and people that don't have the options.

    Options are good but it also may be good to be cautious about giving players raw numbers.
