So anyone who's beyond 1st or 2nd gen will probably not care about this, but those of us that still haven't reached 31 yet to get an heirloom point to sell, repair costs are keeping us from playing.
I currently wear 39,862 gold worth of gear in my normal setup. Now, according to everything I've read, any character SHOULD be able to wear about 50k worth of gear and basically break even over a long period of time. The reason I wear less is to make sure that I don't lose gold so often that I can't even wear my gear at all.
Unfortunately, this happens quite a lot. If I wear this gear, I pretty much always lose gold. Right now I'm down to less than 3k, and I can't even afford to wear this stuff so my only alternative is to run around in peasant clothes with just a weapon. That is NO FUN. Before anyone rebutts with "win more for mutilplicatorz1!!" please understand that an individual has almost zero effect on whether or not your team wins, unless you are Miley.
That said, I can't control my multiplier, and aside from those fortunate few times when I do have 4-5x, I find myself losing too much gold. Please, please, please reduce the repair costs or the chance to repair so newer players don't quit in frustration and have a chance to catch up to the veteran playerbase.
As an aside, how the hell did so much gold get into the economy with these repair costs? Do people AFK in servers for gold during off hours or are there really that many people that have fun running around naked with a weapon?
