Horse bashing was already mega nerfed. Repairs though, I like it how it is as well. I like it because it helps prevent everyone and their mothers from wearing plate armor with big weapons like spamberges. I believe repairs are at 5% of equipment cost? For players whom get x1 consistently I recommend using 30k or below. I would go maybe to 4% of equipment cost, but still, I am not too objected by the repair costs.
