Why durability loss on return is stupid

[SuzakuCMX]

Not dying is what motivates me not to die! Because 99.9% of my in-game immediate goals are set back n amount of minutes when I die, I just don't want to.

Does gear damage motivate more not to die? Nope, I was already at max motivation. It makes me hate the game every few raids though.

Who referred to you specifically? If there's not a good penalty for death, then people aren't going to give two shits about dying. Walking back to where the mob was and waiting 2 minutes for weakness to wear off isn't memorable or a large inconvenience. Having to go back to town or get decreased stats because you keep doing stupid stuff like running through mobs 25 ranks above you is going to make a lot of people stop doing that, or else they're just going to complain about it because they don't learn.

How many of these village idiots we have who go around the world training rank 80 mobs for the lulz?

Most of us don't die in silly grind parties by the node. I can't even remember the last time I died grinding or leveing or doing some silly low profile quest, or even to world NMs.

I remember dying because the friend I was duoing DCed at a bad time, or to an awfully unlucky 2 flan pop in mistbeard, or 100 times trying to do the stupid ogre without an ARC army.

Maybe it's just that you have too much free time and don't really care about wasting it waiting for repairs.

Sounds like the game is too hard for you?

EDIT: Oh and I just use the repair NPC. Stats still don't matter for jack and I equip an alternate piece of gear in the meantime. Plus, leves still give enough Gil for me to use repair NPCs, or I just put it up for repair in my bazaar for 150% of the Dark Matter cost and do some leves. Usually someone repairs me while I'm at a camp aetheryte.

Only you no-lifers believe you are actually accomplishing something hard when all you really do is sink more time in.

I was talking about the dying 100 times to the ogre.

Sounds like you're sinking more time in that I am.

Yeah I traveled back in time to fight it 100 times on the 21th when I realized nobody wanted melee DDs anymore by the 22th.

Well that's fine then.

But also ignoring that dungeons ("instanced raids") weren't meant to be content for casuals.
