Quoted from DarkWizard:

It has to do with success OR failure being relatively easy for people who don't want to get super involved in the hobby to determine between different machines.

This is one of the reasons I have the dry erase board with scores in my gameroom. People can see what others have scored to get an idea of what's typical for different games. Plus, they can record their personal best to try to improve on it.

Quoted from TaylorVA:

WOZ is not about points; it's about battling the witch, rescuing Dorothy, saving TOTO and on and on. A player's game is not so much measured by their score but by their achievements. I don't ask a WOZ owner how many points they score, but ask how many emeralds they've collected and if they have defeated the witch. I'd like to see a percentage displayed showing how far a player was able to progress through the game, that would be a much truer measure of how well a player did on the game.

While I mostly agree that WOZ is about progression more than points, stacking Rescue and ECMB, then starting 2X scoring is one of my favorite things to do in the game.

Quoted from calvin12:

depends on the era, old EMs actually had high scoring, pre-score reel games that is.

At least with those, I could put a dimmer bulb behind the '1 Million' if I wanted lower scoring.
