Charm Cubeing

[bigeyedbug]

IMHO, though, since the game doesn't tell you the ilvl and there's no way to figure it out with perfect precision (unless you remember where it came from), it's not something you're meant to know.  So I don't like that ATMA gives that information to players.  It's certainly useful for testing things, but I keep testing and playing completely separate.

This seems like an odd view coming from you. It seems like much of what you do (and what these sites do generally) is impart knoledge "not meant for mortal man." Sure, some of it is used for testing (and testing for what ultimate purpose one might ask)--but most of it is not. What do you think of something like st0rmie's treatise on charm cubing? I suppose a distinction might be drawn between pure information in that case, and an application like Atma. If so, what about your own calculator?

I'm just curious to hear more about your perspective on this. Would you care to elaborate?

PS. This is especially ironic to me since I owe much of my rudimentary knowledge of the more technical aspects of the game to your patient answers. :)
