actually not exactly true. some items do, but i will say a friend has the vintage scale mail and then dropped to lancer and has went from 1-35 and it still doesn't need repair. that is the type of stuff i would love to see gone hoenstly. if you wear higher level gear it should tear up super fast as a penalty, but i don't believe you should be able to repair an item unless you are close to rank.
