It seems like from ARR to Heavensward the rate at which gear wears has increased a LOT. I was used to this for awhile but then I decided to finish off my Zodiac weapons and now I'm seeing something that's a bit silly.

I seem to repairing my gear just as frequently spamming runs of Sastasha/Tam-Tara for light as I do running Alex Midas sections for weekly drops.

Is gear wear scaled at all to the level of the content, or is it just solely based on the amount of activity you/your party is involved in (I once had my accessories break WHILE FLYING to a FATE while I was with a crystal farming party)?

Maybe I'm being short-sighted, but I wish gear wear scaled to the type of activity being done. Something seems off about my gear being torn to shreds by mobs that barely tick me for 30 damage per auto-attack.
