I honestly don't understand why you see this as such a problem. Obviously, you see 100% when the value is between 99.50% and 99.99%, because in that case it *SHOULD* round to 100%, just as 89.7% rounds to 90%, 59.9% rounds to 60%, and so forth. It makes perfect sense, and is entirely valid. It's no different then when you see survey results carrying the disclaimer, "Percentages may total more than 100% due to rounding."
If you have $9.97 in your pocket, do you think in terms of having $9, or $10? It's the exact same thing.
Again, I agree completely that Sony really *ought* to make the unrounded numbers available. But they ought to be available in addition to, not instead of, the rounded numbers. For the purposes of the default UI, where nothing but whole numbers are ever shown, the numbers should have been rounded all along.
And in the meantime, until and unless the unrounded numbers *are* made available again, exp bar modders really ought to deal with what's available, instead of continuing to distribute what are, to be blunt, BROKEN mods. The single biggest reason why this issue keeps coming up over and over again is that unsuspecting players download broken exp bar mods without knowing that they're broken, and then come here to ask why the numbers seem to be off, starting up yet another round of the same tired discussion.
