I dont get it how do you pople earn a lot of money in game? How? I earned maybie 300k in first generation because i didnt have repairs all the time,and i exploited system buy respec. my char. Now on my new char gen 2 istill have my 300k and + 50k that i earned,and one loom. So if you put more braking and higher upkeep on loomed items i will not be able to fit in 17k gear setup and i will not use it. So what is the puropse of gaining generation if you can't use your shit that you earned buy braking your nerves to get from 1 to 31 lvl? Older players have few milions gold and 5+ items and i should pay looms and repairs like them? Wtf are you talking about?
Repairs should be bigger if you have more looms,and more money. less money you have,and less looms,less repairs,and less loosing money.
