I think all numbers should have decimal separators as to make reading them easier, particularly in the combat reports!

but how would you separate them? would you use the . like much of the world or the , like the US. or would you put a space instead of a . or , like the scientific community does as a compromise?

seeing as how the resources tab has periods, I'd use that. But it doesn't matter really, as long as it consistent throughout

Lol flame much? Some places use periods to separate numbers, like used in ZE, but others use commas instead. So at first glance, if you're unfamiliar with the setup, it could confuse someone.

america is the only place that uses commas i dont see why it should be used here im in favor of the scientific way as a compromise and its not flaming its just a statement that casts them in a bad light lol

And I'm an american, your point being? That statement was total flame and was completely uncalled for... sorry that I've never seen number separated by a decimal before... usually those are only reserved for DECIMALS.
