Just like Diablo II gear… (Destiny)

But by doing all that, you lose the aesthetic enjoyment of the game…

As Cortana once said, she knows mathematically what a sun looks like, but not what it REALLY looks like.

I call bullcrap. Fun's fun, get over yourself.

If you are in it for the math, why are you playing with a piece of hardware and software that gives you auditory and visual feedback? Go play with a spreadsheet if you find that fun. But if you DO find that fun to the exclusion of the enjoyment of the game aesthetics, ask yourself why you are playing a video game at all. The immersion is the primary benefit to the video game over other media. It'd be like going to a movie and closing your eyes the whole time.
