TBC - Why is a selected target's health shown in percentages only?

Like the title says - why is it so? Players' mana is shown in numbers, but health is always shown in percentages. I have not selected the "Display Percentages" option and I am not playing with addons. I would love if I could see health in numbers, if possible

Because this is how it is in TBC.

Not true. There is an option to either show numbers or percentages, but both options make it show percentages.

And that option is only applied to people in your group and stuff like that.

Well, this is the first TBC server that only shows percentages.

Technically, retail was the first TBC server to have such. It's a server-side thing anyway, which I imagine most private servers have enabled due to it being a "Quality of Life" change.

It's more challenging not knowing the other factions health :)

Just use the damn addon that shows HP..... it's called "Mobhealth"(yes it also shows players hp) or something like that <.< You wotlk babies are so annoying it's crazy.

I personally can't stand Wrath, it's boring. I've been playing WoW since vanilla retail and never had this problem before. Also never used an addon or knew they existed till I came to this server.

So you've been playing since vanilla and you never knew addons existed until just now?

I mean, there's nothing wrong with preferring not to use them but not knowing they exist, I dunno man. You sure you've been playing WoW?

I definitely remember me and all of my alliance friends trying to figure out how there was a horde with 22k hp in BC.

Thing is... playing in Burning Crusade + not using any add-ons + memory saying you could see numerical hit points = Woodstock.

And you're definitely wrong.
