-_- We can clearly see two camps here: - Those who feel durability and RP immersion isn't that important - Those who like the idea of durability and RP immersion
That's false.
There's nothing stopping a person from enjoying immersive role-playing while being opposed to the idea of equipment durability, and vice-versa.
The line of division here isn't "RP master race and the rest of the plebs", it's "maintenance saps the fun out of games" versus "durability enhances realism".
These are not irreconcilable differences(as you yourself observe: if maintenance stops being a pain, the system can stay), so let's not present them as such.
