[Suggestion] Is armor repair obsolete?
Well,there is an item you can buy from the Cash Shop that
repairs your gear…..
Although who would buy that and why is a mystery.

I think that armor repair should be removed from the game entirely. Ever since the repair penalty was linked to the cost of travel the whole idea of armor repair started to feel tacky. Since no real cost is associated with repair the consequences of removing it would be minimal. What do you guys think?
I think there ought to be some consequences for dying and so far, I haven’t seen a better one than to require people repair it, even if there’s no cost.
Requiring repair really only serves as a penalty for wiping a ludicrous number of times. Wait and see what the new “challenging group content” is, I suppose.

I think the penalty for failure is the failure it self. The group has to run back, or res you, etc. I don’t think anyone is ever thinking “oh no I am going to have to go fix my armor”.

Yeah exactly. There’s no real consequence to having your armor damaged, and repair is merely a minor inconvenience at best.
After Anet removed the cost to repair items it made me wonder why it was even kept in the game. It’s absolutely silly and pointless to even have that mechanic exist now.
I just find armor repairing a nuisance.
At least make it so we don’t have to interact with said anvil by going through the ‘repair armor’ dialogue. Let me just interact with the anvil once, or be near it, and have it automatically repair my armor. Perhaps this could even be included in the Pact Commander masteries as a sort of Quality of Life bonus/mastery? Just be near an anvil and have it automatically repair your gear.
Or better yet, just remove it completely :-P
it’s a soft afk counter, although i don’t think that was the original intent behind it.
make it so that anytime you use a WP, your armor is repaired.
It has no place in dungeons, however, and in fractals it’s downright crippling.
I personally do not see the problem with it being in the game? its quite funny when you kill someone and there armor is unequipped cause it broke. >:D

Answer : Yes, it is obselete and should go. It kinda made sense back when it had a cost, but that too was annoying, and now there’s really no reason to keep the armor damage system around.
And I tire of those arguing for death penalties. I dunno about you, but losing/failure tends to sting enough. I don’t need penalties rubbing it in.
