No. I want to not teach redditors about arithmetic.

Since you think I’m being a jerk, I’ll try to give you a brief version. You won’t understand it at all, but at least I won’t feel like I was mean to you.

So in short you cannot have a progression system when all of the equations in your game are multiplicative of a small number which cannot address to change due to a scale mandate. This forces the additive systems seen in the abundant amount of percentage scaled level only equations which govern the overwhelming majority of the damage dealt and received in New World. And from here we also cannot address to evolve because changing the later scales would be incompatible with the extant gear system as is.
