Next fight is a lone 37 mob that dies without even landing a hit on me - but another point of durability lost.
This is when MMO's start to suck, if players get listened to when it comes to obstacles being too hard. Im the opposite, if I see a trend develop and they start making the game easier, ...
... cant afford the elevated prices due to inflation. So really, bad players are just bad, if you balance the game around them, your game will be bad. Dont do that.
No offense to anyone intended, Ive just seen this happen dozen of times in an MMO, this post is nothing if not right on cue. For once lets just try to play smarter instead of begging for things to be easier. Its better for everyone.
The repair bill serves a valuable purpose as a gold sink. If you diminish this significantly, suddenly everyone is available to save large quantities of gold, and your economy goes to crap. .

Im the opposite, if I see a trend develop and they start making the game easier, I know I'll be a couple of steps closer to quitting this game. The repair bill serves a valuable purpose as a gold sink. If you diminish this significantly, suddenly everyone is available to save large quantities of gold, and your economy goes to crap. Im already able to save plenty of cash to do whatever I want, now when not so savvy players are able to save, it only amplifies what the more industrious players are able to do, then you have a problem because now those players whinging about repair costs before cant afford the elevated prices due to inflation. So really, bad players are just bad, if you balance the game around them, your game will be bad. Dont do that.

Big words for someone who obviously doesn't notice that if things were right, cloth wouldn't be as low in durability than steel, while in fact a robes should be destroyed by a blade in no time. From your words I take it that you are either a gold-buyer or one of those ranged combatants who let others pay the bill without chipping in even - which I'd consider a bad player, just in a different way than you think. Anyone who actually tries melee will suffer heavily from repair costs, which is quite unlike for other playstyles and thus totally out of balance. You really should try them all and compare...
To take your own words, "So really, bad players are just bad, if you balance the game around them, your game will be bad. Dont do that." Yes, I can agree to that - but under different terms, obviously.
Most of all, dont get mad because you cant save any money. Get better at the game and use any number of ways the game offers to work around it to your advantage. But I guess its easier to just come here and cry and attack people I suppose. Thats what forums are for.
Actually it was you to call everyone else in this thread a bad player, so I guess you couldn't expect a nice answer really.Most of all, dont get mad because you cant save any money.

I'll repeat this: I am fine earning money in the game myself, but it is more than obvious that people are forced to do things they don't want to or wouldn't need to if things were properly balanced. And that's what this thread is about: Some playstyles just don't get treated properly in regards to repair costs, while others earn much much more for no acceptable reason.
Knowing to make money or not doesn't change the fact that things are not fair here for everyone. Especially in a game that's marketed as "play the way you want".
