Armor and weapons decay from consistent use and we have to go out and replace them. Clothing at this time doesn't decay and a lot of tailors are asking for that decay rate. Technically all of them should decay or degrade according to how much we wear/use them. So.. that being said, why don't BE pets decay/degrade? Animals do age (if they're not killed first) and die... don't they? So why shouldn't BE pets do the same. For that matter, why shouldn't pets that you've tamed from the wild age and die as well?

And if we're taking this to another level, don't houses/factories/structure decay/degrade as well no matter how much maintenance we put into them?

If we're going to be consistent in decay/degrading items, lets do this across the board and not just select one area in which to implement it. We all want repeat customers don't we? If nothing decays/degrades, we can keep buying things that end up accumulating dust and inventory space.

Pets do decay. It's called vitality loss.

Both pets and droids accrue vitality loss when they're dealt what would be a death blow to a player. Loss of each increment of 25% of a pet's/droids vitality results in a loss of HAM.You can fix that with vitality packs, but using those decreases the overall vitality. Eventually, the pet/droid will become damaged to the point where it will never have its original HAM, and I'm pretty sure once that happens most people who use such a pet will destroy it.

THank you for the answers. I've always wondered about that.
