Repairs are free, so they don’t serve as a gold sink. Every dungeon has a repair anvil easily accessible next to a waypoint. If you die in WvW and don’t get resurrected, the waypoint where you spawn will have an anvil near it.

What purpose does armor damage serve at all, at this point? Can we just get rid of it? It’s a hassle with no actual gameplay purpose anymore.

Fractals don’t have repair anvils within the instance and instant repair canisters are sold in the gem store so i suspect that’s the reason

As you stated it’s a hassle. That way if you keep dying you can’t return straight to a fight with everything fine. You need to make a stop. That’s the purpose I think

Likely because it was more work to remove it completely, and it gives them the option of adding “gear damage lockout” to content like fractals and adventures where they need to.

And said content helps them sell repair boosters to people that are bad at it.
