Why durability loss on return is stupid

[DonMega]

Durability lost is just stupid,

O wait, The whole durability itself is useless and stupid.

I Agree, just take that crap back out of the game and take the whole equipment durability thing with it, its just a poor attempt at a gil sink and craft encouragement.

OMGZ dont say these things the forums monkeys (cus they think they dont qualify as trolls) will bash you;most likely because they got a craft lvled and profit from repairs.

wait till theyre pocket books start dwindling from the 40-100k+ a day repair costs.

So would you rather SP loss instead?

Personally, I would.

So tired of people saying "So stop dieing".

It's not really as simple as that. I solo my leves now, mostly because since update not many others care to bother with them and everyone is spamming the dungeons. Anyways, go out and try to solo these leves. Lots of these leves can range from very easy to very hard with just a one star difference and sometimes you just get stuck in a situation where there is no way out of it.

being a smart arse and telling people not to die is like telling people they should not take on any challenges and just try everything the easy way. I can do my leves on 1 star and get 50sp per kill and a very bad bonus. But I think everyone would agree that that is not very fun.

heck, I have to now go through hordes of aggro mobs just to gather or do a field craft leve. I could see having to be careful and watch myself, but its a bit crazy to have a truck load of aggressive mobs literally dumped right on top of gathering spots. Sometimes death just happens. It doesn't mean you are a bad player.

Raise now makes it so you don't incur durability loss... you only get this from return... have some patience and/or stop being so damn anti-social and ask someone for a raise (Outside your LS too)

[Scape]

So now someone is antisocial because they don't ask for a raise when they are out in the middle of nowhere soloing? Ya lets have everyone wait on you hand and foot and spend what little anima they have or walk for 45 minutes just to raise you. I also have more respect for my LS mates then to ask someone to waste their time and come raise me every time I die. Last 10 or so times I have died, I could have stayed dead there for hours and never seen another person, so its kind of hard to ask people outside of LS if I don't see anyone that can be asked.

It's still not the games fault you are dying tho. YOU the player keeps trying to do the leve on more stars than you can handle.

It's like saying its Gravity fault you keep jumping out of 3rd story window and keep breaking your bones. OMG wtf Gravity why do you keep hurting me.

[whoopeeragon]

I try to endeavour not to die just to not incure the death penalty, or at least have a friend nearby who can quickly come over and raise my arse off the floor. Else, I try to die in awkward places just to make people have a weird moment....

I think it's silly that you can get raised with no penalty (rebirth)
But if you return, you get double penalty (gear damage and weakness)
If they want to make return damage your gear, fine, but weakness on top?
Even with FFXI's originally brutal exp loss, weakness only applied to raise.

People seem to forget there is way too much gil in the game, repair is the only real money sink atm. Crafters are easy to find to repair your mats if you're not a cheap skate. Also be willing to carry dark matter for your gear - increase chance you'll find someone to repair it if you have it available. Lastly - please pay attention to how much dark matter costs and offer at least 1k above that - or any crafter will just laugh and not repair your gear.

I for one like this much better then sp loss, if you had to spend a day sping your lvl 50 because you lost most of that xp to Darkhold? Bah - leave those days back in FFXI.
