Blacksmithing already does. You can repair each item that you have full points into crafting, for free. It’s one item at a time, but still free.
I ended up spending more than 10K last night between raid and pushing keys.
Even when I don’t die at this point a single M+ run will cost me almost 500g just in repairs.
Its getting out of hand at this point. I keep hoping to see some indestructible gear but it never drops. I wish we had something like in SL were one of the covenants had an option to no longer take damage to your gear. That saved me so much gold.

I didn’t mean to sound negative, just some people dont really realize they are spending more than they remember doing. it happens IRL too.
Gotta look at other factors:
Are you dying a lot? progression raiding can sap more than you realize, thats not just armor repairs but consumables too
Are you switching outfits a ton? This a lot of people’s culprits as they wanna match everything even down to the pet/mount
Having a role in your guild: Yes this does take its toll, providing materials, maybe spotting gold from time to time for your team It adds up.
Just like IRL, take a deeper look into why you are such strapped for money all the time and maybe lessen or weed out somethings entirely
I wish I had one from engineering lol.
I have all these sources for repairing. Personal bots and stuff I made, but still have to gold dump.
They need you buying gold while bots and multi boxers are farming.
Go go whale!

And yet Blizzard STILL refuses to fix the bugged Dragonflight Blacksmithing’s Master’s Hammer where it allows users to repair their full sets (if they maxed out the Armor slots and weapon type they are using), for free, with no CD… 2 weeks ago, I kept a tally of how many times I went full yellow, and repaired with that bugged item… 23 times, over the course of a week… That’s a very significant amount of gold that I have saved since the expansion launched…
It’s a necessary gold sink at this point.
It is out of hand. They are trying to milk gold from the wrong player group. There are auction house goblins sitting on piles of gold while average players are maybe 150k on their character and if they do any real content it’s gonna drain fast.
Maybe their spreadsheets tell them that higher gold costs makes play “m0rE mEAnInGfuL”.

How much extra gear do you have in your bags? Everything takes durability damage even you die.
ah i misstyped I just got off like 8 hours of grinding mythic+ for gilded and was about to sleep
If it spawns a mob, hit the mob. If it spawns a puddle, grab it before it vanishes. If its the fly thru the air or the chickens/maggots, i am not sure.
It’s too much and too expensive I’m on strike and playing Rust!
This is a true story.
I pugged and finally defeated the Queen on heroic last week.
Over 13k in repairs.

Repairs are way too much and it makes a wipe too punishing
I might be too paranoid or something… but the AH prices, the GARBAGE profession system, repairs, transmog costs, less gold from wq’s and caches… it all seems like they are pushing more and more for people to buy tokens to me.

Did quests reward 500 to 800 g in classic?
grind then. And stop dying so much.
My repair bills on my main healer are like a few hundred gold.
Even my tank doesn’t have repair bills that high very often, so it’s just literally something you are doing wrong.
IMO we shouldn’t have to pay more than a couple gold for repairs, but whatever.
You can go farm herbs for half an hour and make a solid 20k. I literally just did it.
none of that bs people keep quoting like “oh yeah I farmed for an hour and made 130k gold off just selling low rank ores”…oooookay, im so sure. People just make up the wildest things to try and pretend that you are doing something wrong and they are doing it all the right way lol.
realistically, you might be able to make about 30k off an hour of farming. But remember that you pooling more mats into the ah drives the price down a little at a time because you increase the supply.
Besides, the real problem is the cost of crafted gear. My main had to spend nearly 67k gold just to craft a weapon at rank 602 or whatever. Absolutely unacceptable costs for everything this time around.
Yes. They are trying to siphon gold out of the economy. Instead of putting more expensive mounts like the brutosaur to get gold out that way they’d rather increase repair bills and reduce gold income.
And it all could be to sell more tokens I can’t deny that
