Much needed Description Box and Stat clarifications

Give me some numbers! This game is clearly based off a lot of number crunching (like most MMO's) so why don't I have some cold hard data to compare my weapons and abilities to? "Significantly increases" is ARBITRARY. If most boosts in-game give me a .5% increase but "X" skill now gives me 5% boost then that could be considered "significantly increased" when in reality it's neglible. Unfortunately I'll never know as most of the data is hidden by arbitrary pictures or meaningless sentences that are impossible to interpret or compare. [u]This is an actual weapon perk in game:[/u] " 'Y' Gun gives you +2 Agility when held!" Well if I actually have 70 agility already then choosing a measly +2 agility over a perk that grants faster reload speed wouldn't make much sense. If I only had 2 agility to begin with then doubling it might make a bigger difference to me. Though a picture bar doesn't tell me anything so I have nothing to compare it too. The descriptions of EVERYTHING need to be updated, and I mean everything; Gear, Abilities, Perks, Weapons, Vehicles. They [u]all[/u] need to be overhauled. Here are quite a few examples taken from a Bladedancer Hunter skill tree that are actual skills but the numbers are made up because I don't know the real ones in the first place (the main problem that I have anyways) but will illustrate my point. +Arc Blade- Melee Super Attack that uses Arc energy that makes you impossibly fast and strike with precision. [i](Description of what it is and does)[/i] Lasts 30 secs OR 3 hits[i] (Gives actual value to the ability that can be interpreted and compared with)[/i] Cooldown of 3 minutes. [i](I shouldn't have to get out a stopwatch and figure it out myself)[/i] +Encore- Kills with Arc Blade add 2 secs OR 1 additional hit to your super +Blink Strike- Melee Attack with extended range that does Arc Damage. Cooldown 1 min +Fast Twitch- Reduces cooldown of Blink Strike by 30 secs +Escape Artist- Hitting enemy with Blink Strike grants 15 secs invisibilty +Shadowjack- Increases all invisibility effects by 30 secs +Quickdraw- Weapons draw 75% faster Get the idea? So much of this game is balancing your equipment with your skills and abilities. How can I make an educated decision if I don't have any information to being with?
