The age-old question that has haunted crpg players since upkeep's inception.

Basically it stops everyone wearing black plate wielding flamberges, top this, top that etc all the time. Stops cav being too overpowered too (eg either they have a good horse or good gear - hard to upkeep both).

You mean it stops new players from doing this.   I asked how much money people had in game and some of them have millions so I very much doubt they will care about any upkeep costs.

Just because I don't agree with you does not make me negative or someone with an attitude, I respect your opinion but totally disagree with it.

I have played M&B for 2 years so am not new to the game, I am new to Warband and Crpg but as it's very close to M&B it was very easy to adapt.  I did spec wrong as I was initially going for cav with one hander as thats what I enjoy in M&B.  I changed my mind when I saw the horse prices, now I am speccing as archer.  I have a mix of gear which includes Tourney Armour, Strongbow, Elite Schimitar and some nice gloves, hat and boots, probably over 30k in value.  My point is I can not wear all this gear unless I am over x2 mulitplier as I lose too much gold.  Last game alone cost me over 500 gold and I only made 200, I can not sustain this level of loss. 

So what you are telling me is I have to wear my crap gear till I am rich enough to be able to cope with the gold loss I will have by wearing good gear.  Grind to buy the gear then grind a load more to fill up your bank so that you can wear the gear.

What kind of attitude do you expect?  I spent the best part of yesterday being bored at being one shotted and being unable to do much damage.  I saved up enough to buy a decent bow, decent arrows, modest armour and was quite excited to be able to kill people for once.  Then after 5 rounds on x1 multiplyer I was virtually bankrupt (not my fault my team were hopelessly outnumbered).  I then had to put my crap gear back on for about 15 rounds just to get a few thousand gold in my bank.  I was just about to put my good gear back on but thought "Whats the point" and thats why I posted.

It's fine all these people that have played for months when gold was easy to get, they have hundreds of thousands so they don't feel it, but new players like myself are totally gimped.  I played WOW for 6 years and did not mind the grind as you were rewarded, with this I am punnished for having good gear, it's utterly stupid and as the topic suggests, what is the point of getting good gear if you can't wear it.

I just bought Warband yesterday and downloaded this mod as I hear it's great.  I spent about 4 hours dying a lot as a peasant but was able to level up to about 20 and buy some quite good gear.  I then equipped all this geat that took me 4 hours to grind only to have to remove it all after 5 rounds as I was losing so much gold in repairs.  So now I am back with all my peasant gear as it's all I can afford to wear......I nominate this game to be the most pointless waste of my time in 22 years of gaming.
