Losing 65% durability while making 2 silver is just off. It cost half that to repair my weapon. At level 23 I shouldnt be scraping to pay for repairs. I understand its a gold sink to keep people from amassing huge amounts of plat or whatever but its horribly failed. Needing to repair so often and for so much is not only annoying but unfair.

Tanks rely most on gear than any other class to be effective. They also take the largest hits in durability. So while we are already less cash from buying upgrades, we are down even more because we are forced to spend massive amounts of coin on repairs.

I was fine on cash till around 20. I went from slowly building up an ok amount to being broke.


I cant play the broker game. I HATE with a passion trading and selling. Its not the part of the game I like I cnat sit there searching for good deals and reselling its boring. I prefer to make my cash through killing stuffs (or maybe through diplomacy I do like diplomacy). I also prefer to get my gear this way, but at 18 I was horribly undergeared and had to shell out some coin to upgrade.

Figure its no big deal. Then 24 hours later Im scraping together enough just to pay for my spells and repairs.

Item decay is a silly feature anyway. I hated it in EQ2 and WoW. Its just annoying. It doesnt increase the challenge of the game. Its only tedious. Its also extremely unbalanced. Atleast in WOW it was done right, I never went broke repairing. EQ2 I only played to 29, but I never had a problem repairing in that either.

So I think Sigil needs to remove or fix item decay. Either significantly decrease the cost of repairing/rate of decay or increase vendor trash to sell for more than it costs to repair.
