I'm just saying I don't want to soon be hitting so high it will be ridiculous, like in private realms. I kind of want some "realistic" kind of damage, its hard to explain. I just don't want to be hitting ridiculous numbers.
I get what you mean. Everything just seems over-the-top when you have gigantic numbers, even if it's balanced. One of the reasons that I hated most free-to-play MMOs is because you'd start off, and five levels later you're already doing 15K damage on some stuff. Even though the mob may have 200K HP, it's still very overdramatic.
WoW had what I felt was a good "limit" on the damage you do. I still have screenshots from classic WoW, when 4K crits were a huge deal, and even in TBC, a 4K crit was pretty good for some abilities. I'm hoping that Cataclysm won't increase the numbers too much,
just enough
to make most WotLk gear outdated by the time you're level 85, and even then some gear (IICC and other high-end gear) might still be useful.

Blues from reg HoL 179, Epic from H ICC 25 lvl 277 (99 level difference).
Those who have said that it scales, so it doesn't matter, are right. Lets say the boss has 1000 HP and you do 2 DPS, or the bos has 1,000,000 HP and you do 2,000 DPS, or the boss has 10,000,000 HP and you do 20k DPS. In any of those cases, it will take a group of 5 DPS (average for a 10-man run) 100 seconds to kill the boss. So it really doesn't matter.
As to our numbers looking "realistic"...are you freakin kidding me? IRL, my fireball crits for 500k! Okay, maybe not, but thats because
I can't cast fireball in real life.
So realism goes out the window. There are lots of things in-game you can QQ about, why are you QQing about the way numbers scale (when its going to be the same)?

1k crits in the old days?
I remember mortal striking for 3k, with an OEB.

I had some 4K~ Bloodthirsts in PvP, made me feel pretty badass.
1K was still a lot though, considering most clothies had less than 4K HP unless they were decked in PvP sets.
