So I've noticed since 2.1 that I now suffer much quicker equipment degradation. before 2.1 I could run 6-7 DGs before repairing (Tank) and now I get through 2-3 before the repair hits.

I never saw this in the patch notes (if it was there I apologize for wasting time). but It seems to me that for everything SE does to make it seem like they're giving us bonuses like commendation gil and roulette, they counter-act it with something like this. it's not like it's a major thing, and I don't even care about making gil running DGs.... it's the fact that I'm now perpetually bound to a repair vendor while running DGs that is getting to me.
