Although I think its a commendable idea to try summarize information for the new player, I do not think the grade column accomplishes this goal. The "average" player is not a helpful unit - as the table shows, the usefulness (grade) of the stat is highly dependent upon profession (and to a lesser degree race). I think this table would still be very useful without the grade column. [[User:VERSIN|VERSIN]] ([[User talk:VERSIN|talk]]) 00:57, 21 February 2015 (CST) |

:It was mostly an idea to give new players a quick summary. Each professional page should be covering statistics in some detail. That column is actually much more succinct than all my walls of text about the statistics themselves, even if very generalized. For example, Logic really does get an A while Influence really does get an F. The problem is mostly figuring out how to deal with the things in between so that it's a B/C average. I kind of figured someone would have complained about this weeks ago when I made it, but there's always waiting a little while! ^_^ [[User:DAID|DAID]] ([[User talk:DAID|talk]]) 06:53, 21 February 2015 (CST) |

Stats Grades
Although I think its a commendable idea to try summarize information for the new player, I do not think the grade column accomplishes this goal. The "average" player is not a helpful unit - as the table shows, the usefulness (grade) of the stat is highly dependent upon profession (and to a lesser degree race). I think this table would still be very useful without the grade column. VERSIN (talk) 00:57, 21 February 2015 (CST)
- It was mostly an idea to give new players a quick summary. Each professional page should be covering statistics in some detail. That column is actually much more succinct than all my walls of text about the statistics themselves, even if very generalized. For example, Logic really does get an A while Influence really does get an F. The problem is mostly figuring out how to deal with the things in between so that it's a B/C average. I kind of figured someone would have complained about this weeks ago when I made it, but there's always waiting a little while! ^_^ DAID (talk) 06:53, 21 February 2015 (CST)
