Haven't they fixed this yet

I'd also ask where's the gameplay in any of this?

Gear breaks slowly (thank god!) but it's effects are barely visible in you normal month.

Fixing it doesn't require doing anything special so why is it there?!

If death penalty is the only reason then they should have come up with more threatening and real thing to avoid. Gear half damaged or not is barely noticeable.

omg people are still crying for death penalties? You know what hows this for a death penalty.

1.) Die
2.) Grab hammer
3.) Smash other hand
4.) profit
