I like the idea but its not worth it due to the consequences. Might be better if there is an item that you can just click on your inventory that would auto fix the equipment without going to an npc (if you're too lazy).
kidnap a blacksmithfree imbues/purifies too
I -1 also . You just cant except everyone to want to start over. Some are still improving their gear. Others took 1+ years to get the gear they have now. To start over for that simple stat not worth it.
-1. Don't see the point in this suggestion. Rerolling gears is simply not worth it just for more durability, just repair gears more often.
Not possible without reshaping that gear.
-1I tank a whole squad of aa and never have to repair my gear throughout a whole week worth (2-3days) tops but this is something that isnt really needed just keep repair each time you visit safe zone problem solve.
