Maybe because to high level players,repairs mean nothing? People currently with excessive amounts of silver won’t mind it in the slightest,however,it’s extremely punishing for new players,it’s a problem with how they scale repair costs with regards to items,judging by the prices,it’s definitely a problem,and it’s one for us to discuss,and for IMC to solve. Crying about how you’re gonna just quit the game, making IMC look like villains, and in general just b*tching about the changes like many of the people in the current game chat without any suggestions isn’t going to help in ANY way.
For now,perhaps it would be nice if IMC would look at the current situation and scale repairs and make it more affordable.
