This is the thing that really pisses me off. Taking no damage and your gear still breaks. 99% of the tkme its not even worth it to repair because its so expensive. You can just buy another comparable item for less from a guild AH or make something.Nox_Aeterna wrote: »Mate , i walk around in totally broken equips , and no , i did not die , they just break freaking fast and cost a LOT to repair , so i just dont do it :P.

I wont ever use any NPCs for buying items if this isnt changed, because the Gold is earned too slow atm to justify the squandering when you can just loot better items from enemies just around the corner.

"Gold Sinks" are important in MMOs. They keep the economy fluid. In real-life, we have money sinks as well; Rent, utility bills, insurance, taxes, fees, postage stamps, shipping costs, gasoline, food, etc. This is how an economy is able to function. Money goes in, and money goes out. You work for what you get.
Here's a fun game to play; Check your bank statement at the end of the month for your household. Look at how much your household earned, and then how much went out in expenditures. Figure out what % of your income you have left in your pockets. In my household, we have about 10% of our total income left over at the end of the month, which goes into savings. Sometimes a bit less. Which means we always come out ahead, but we're not overly-wealthy. But at least we have the funds to go out, have some fun, maybe see a movie.
If your inventory is hard to manage, I suggest not hoarding things. Outside of Provisioning, I'm able to keep enough materials in the shared bank to cover all of my crafting (including trait gems). In my inventory, a couple potions and some buff foods. My gear is equipped.
So, I have no idea what you're stuffing in your bags to inspire a title like "Inventory Management Online", but I am led to believe it has less to do with the design of the game, and more to do with how you're playing it. I'm not going to tell you how to play the game. But I don't feel bad about saying that any problems you're having aren't a design issue.
TL;DR - Problem exists between keyboard and chair.
So... If I'm reading this right... You like to play games because they make you micro-manage stuff like IRL? Because you... Think that is fun? You just love to pay bills, expenditures, etc? You get a warm fuzzy feeling from it?

I didn't say anywhere in there that I "like" doing it. I was illustrating that sometimes it's just the way things are, and you learn to deal with it instead of whining about it. So no, you didn't read it right.
Ah. So you think that instead of speaking up and push for something to be changed when you don't think it's good, you think that it's better to keep silent and just keep doing something you don't like. Gotcha!

I'm actually quite surprised that nobody has mentioned the astronomical cost of buying a mount, and the day-one ability to purchase it in a cash shop for real money.
If that doesn't say all that needs to be said about this game, well, then I dunno what else to tell ya.

You like it better when everything is handed to you on a silver platter? Emulating real life is part of the appeal in a game like this. Realism = immersion. If you want easy mode, just play a hacked single player game.So... If I'm reading this right... You like to play games because they make you micro-manage stuff like IRL? Because you...
