This right here times 1000.

I can understand it's use as a death penalty but having gear degrade on use is pointless and annoying. It's a method that punishes people for playing the game and it's stupid. And like with every other system of it's kind, it punishes the tank classes more than anything else since they are the ones always getting hit on.

Gear wear on use needs to go away in all MMOs. It's a silly attempt at realism that serves no other purpose and it's a perfect case where realism needs to be sacrificed for better gameplay.
