Guild Wars 2

Often in some dugeons or other situations, people remove their armour so its not damaged. Perhaps a feature of clicking the town clothes button should act in the same as if you removed ur armour (including back part).

If you’re taking your armor off before you die to avoid damage, that’s not something Anet wants you to do, so it will never be supported.

Lol, it’s the only smart thing to do in these dungeons Nittles. Why pay a 15 silver if you can get no damaged equipment at all. It only seems fair to me.

why?

You can’t do it during combat. It’s mainly in areas where there’s a mechanic (CoF fireballs, FoTM stair lazers) where you get OHK no matter what and armor does absolutely nothing.

It’s the same reason Magic Find doesn’t work on Chests. They don’t want you getting the benefits of the armor without the downsides. If you’re getting the stat boosts from the armor, they want you to have to pay for repairs. Even if they never remove the ability to remove your armor to avoid repairs, they’re certainly never going to make it easier. Nor do I believe they should. It’s a cheap tactic that makes no sense whatsoever.

I’m not sure why your so opposed to something that can be done anyway, how does it impact you? or are you secretly an armour repair merchant! Yes it makes perfect sense, you remove armour, it doesn’t get damaged, you save money (what part of this doesn’t make sense??)
