the game would be missing an immersion mechanic, it being gone wouldnt really be a huge deal but it would have some effect, its part of a web of immersion mechanics that create the games experience and any one part could be removed without any really noticeable effect. it should be removed or fixed but removed is just a lazy option for sleepy people
Good, since we do agree on something, specifically that it should either be fixed or removed, there is another wee bit to consider:
About 1/3rd of the people on this forum resent the equipment degradation feature in its entirety, especially the way it is currently implemented. Aboud 1/3rd of the people here resent the degradation feature but would be ok with a better improved version. And lastly, the final third of the people here like the idea of degrading equipment, but they think that it is poorly implemented, clunky and weird.
Now, how to better implement equipment degradation in a way that pleases most people while not making it spoil the fun? I've read a lot of possible solutions, but each and everyone either has its faults (no offense to those who forwarded them, on the contrary, kudos to them for the attempt), isn't liked by enough people, or both of them. Regardless of the angle at which we look at the picture, it looks to me that the equipment degradation feature is already causing more troubles than its effective worth.
