Thread: Curious to know your views on non-deterioration of clothes

I would be interested to know the views of the Tailor Community regarding the fact that clothes do not deteriorate.


I would have imagined that no deterioration would mean that after a while, people would stop buying clothes, because they would have everything they need ... ? And logically, this would be very bad for business. Tailors would stop earning money.


I also feel that it is unrealistic. Clothes DO wear out. And with the post-CU combat system allowing all melee professions to do without armour, and wear clothes instead (as long as they have TK), it seems even more illogical. I mean, try wearing a t-shirt and pants and then go fight dewbacks for a few hours ... if armour takes a hammering, I'm sure clothes would !


So what is the community's position on this matter?


PS: if this has already been discussed in detail, please point me in the direction of the right threads ... it really is a subject that intrigues me ...


Thanks

Ill give you an answer, purely because i have nothing better to do .


In the real world clothes would deteriorate a lot faster than armour and a tailor would have hundreds of orders backed up every day.


But this isnt the real world, this is SOE.


Personally i think everything wearable should degrade, but perhaps not as fast as armour does. I also think that the repair tools should repair things a lot better.


But on the other hand if everything lost condition you would get a lot of people crying because they cant afford to buy things.


If there is one thing i have noticed about this GAME is that people are never happy.


well thats my 2 cents.


ps im English thats how we spell armour

Thank you for your succinct and oh-so-helpful response Ani_cul ...


I had already read the stickies. And whilst there is a very short comment on the non-degradability of clothing, there is no in-depth discussion of the topic in the stickies. Which is why I posted.


I am sure the topic has been discussed before ... but I spent over an hour going back through pages and pages of posts without finding anything which, once again, is why I posted.


If you have a specific thread containing a comprehensive community discussion of the matter, I would be very grateful ... but just posting "Stickies - read them" is no help to anyone.
