I feel like the durability system is a bit broken
(see what i did there? :D)
The durability drops too fast considering that the only place you can fix your gear in are towns.
I had a platemail with 24 durability and it only lasted for like 10 minutes of grinding.
I think that the durability should either drop slower or there should be more places for players to fix their gear in.
Or the gears need more durability
Once we get some Squires in our server, repairing will be much less of a hassle. Unless it was changed, Squires can open up their shops literally anywhere. 
I noticed that it drops faster when the monster’s level is too high compared to your equipment. Can’t say for sure tho.
Does taking damage affect the durability?
If it does then it’s super unfair for tanks ):
Taking damage does reduce your items durability. The fact that durability drops quickly means it will be harder for bots to farm for long periods without their gears breaking. It also means that Squires will be a very valuable source of income, if placed in a strategic location.
That’s the whole point of the feature.
Well plate armor should have higher durability then since they lose it faster
Priests use less HP potions, wizards have to sacrifice their shield in order to make more damage… That’s the game.
I don’t see any issue with the durability system, I’ve only been able to grind for a good few hours at a time before needing to get my stuff repaired.
I guess self repair items or protection buffs from cash shop would fix this
