The only issue i see with this system now is in the gear itself. If you're suffering from gear damage, the reduction in stats should probably be even more appear ant than it is now.
I agree 100%, And with return causing equipment damage we will see a new higher level of repair demand. Crafters will be on site at the camps to give their assistance. Until people wake up and actually try not to die because their is a penalty.
