Repair Bills are Becoming Increasingly Expensive in Midnight

The number of durability points being repaired, which depends on the equipment type: gloves, bracers, and belts have the lowest maximum durability at 55 and lose 5 per death, while pants, two-handed weapons, and (surprisingly) warglaives have 120 and lose 12 each time. Since Patch 4.0.1, cloth, leather, mail, and plate gear of the same slot and rarity all have the same amount of durability, so plate wearers aren't paying more for the privilege, though Demon Hunters and Fury Warriors do end up paying slightly more than others.

Item level has a very small impact, with a ~1% difference in cost between a 1/6 Mythic 272 and a 6/6 Mythic 289 item of the same type. This is good, since it means you don't need to worry about the financial impact of applying your hard earned Ascendant Voidcore upgrades!

The quality of the gear has a very large impact, with a 2/6 Myth-track item charging ~67% more than an otherwise identical 6/6 Hero-track piece, despite both being 272 item level.

Comment by Savario15Higher repair costs = more gold spent = more tokens purchased = more money for Blizzard/Microslop. These costs will never come down. Why would they make a change that makes them LESS money?Comment by BeardedbrooBIG thumbs up. This needs to be gone from the game.Comment by Esploratore@Archimtiros: it doesn't let me quote your answer, I think it's normal since it's an edit, but the price for the repair hammers is the same on all servers, only changes based on region, perhaps you play on the US, where price seems to be a bit more expensive, but I'm checking now on undermine exchange, and there's big fluctuations, a low US price is 10-16 gold, but right after a flip it can be as high as 50-70, that's probably what you were referring to.

For a comparison, in EU it's 8-18 most of the time, it was recently flipped to 220, but went down to 45 in a few hours and now it's at 25, I'm also contributing to lowering it since it's nice to buy these hammers at 15, which is below crafting cost!Comment by inafumeTrying to do the voidstorm cheeve where that thing up in the sky chases you around for sixty seconds REALLY drove home how expensive repairs bills are now.

Now lemme regale you about the 1800 gold xmog I put together...

With Decimus charging 5k, repairs up the yinyang, and xmog full sets costing as much as they do, are we going to be seeing more gold coming in?Comment by DullfaceBIG thumbs up. This needs to be gone from the game.Comment by NeylYes please get rid of it. I spend half my game time doing WQ for gold for repairing M+ & Raid. Just delete durability, we don't need that anymore.Comment by RBULLJThis isn't a mistake, or an oversight, this is working and done as intended, fully aware this would be a concern - they really love screwing players over. Also, as one user wrote:

"It's intended so that people buy/sell more tokens = Blizzard earns from you playing their game even more than merely paying the sub fee.
GG's I guess"

Every harmful thing on this game is either created on purpose or by naive incompetence that turns into pleasure by the awareness of it (then "fixed" when there's only a couple of months before the expansion ends).Comment by ElirdLet me tell you about my bozo Fireblaster — he’s been crying all night over Lura!
He started with 100k and is already down to 67k. Poor as an 18-year-old male can be. And the best part? We’re still like 100 pulls away from the kill.
#prey#Fireblaster#TerrenMillComment by GabrijelCzjust another piece of crap from the pile of crap that Blizzard pulled out of their bag full of crappy ideas for usComment by AudityIf you haven't started your Draenor garrison, consider doing so.
If you build up the forge to max, there's an npc who gives you a 4 hour buff that makes your gear indestructible. Should still work fine.Comment by MiguelSivilaSeriously guys, most people count their gold in the hundreds of thousands or even millions, and you're crying about repair costs.Comment by IlanaraAs long as you dont die you can use the Draenor Garrison Blacksmith npc to negate all repair costs as she gives you a buff that removes them as long as you dont die, as well as the chance to summon an elemental to help in combat (which only works in Draenor). Better than nothing.Comment by WilyerFF just uses a super cheap reagent in order to repair gear, and it breaks FAR slower. And if you have the proper crafting Job at a high enough level for the piece, you can over-repair it up to 199% durability.

What is stopping Blizzard from doing something this simple?Comment by Nyloafthe repair costs are ridiculous. we have enough gold sinks already, stop making things suck arbitrarilyComment by BloodylightadinNot enough that blizz has literally THOUSANDS of dollars in cosmetics/mounts/housing BS in their shop right now? They also have to punish people for actually playing their %^&*ing game and force us to buy wowtokens?

Bro we couldn't even make gold legitimately by using their insane crafting system because people were able to just SPAM BUY KNOWLEDGE BOOKS off their $%^&ing vendors for the first two weeks of the expac which absolutely trashed the economy for multiple professions.Comment by avatarofshadowman, you KNOW the game is bad when 3 thousand is also TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GOLD ...Comment by AlaskanDruidI love it when people pretend that you can do one or two WQs to get the cost on a single repair set.. not in the US. Sounds like EU or whatever country the commenter is in has either much much higher WQ gold rewards are much much lower repair costs in their region.Comment by KavicaMy guild had to turn off guild repairs. We literally ran out of gold. There is no really a direct way for a guild to generate gold anymore.Comment by ScaryfoxI've played every class several times so, I highly doubt the explanation given for the repair bills. Also, ArenaNet took out repair costs in their game so, I'm concerned that Blizzard can't do something on par with that.Comment by Aqu88Crying on a whole new level. Doing World Quests for 30 minutes twice a week yields tens of thousands of gold.
