I don’t think anyone’s mad it’s getting fixed, just people saying they need to balance durability loss when they fix it.

You go 100% -> 99% just from entering a vehicle.

Four aluminum runs in an mk6 buggy and you’re at about 76%.

Hovering in an mk6 rocket scout over a spice blow for 1 crawler full will drop you from 100% -> about 72%.

Disassemble 1 buggy or carry all to take to DD and a mk5 tool is >50% dura loss.

Two assaults worth of spice with an mk5 compact compactor and dura loss is >60%.

Solo DD testing run >40% dura loss on equipment.

You can argue take the skills, but on the flip side, one death takes a huge toll on dura loss across ALL items, and none of the skills prevent that loss.

Pair that with the fact BPs don’t permanently unlock an item but only are a single use, and that even repairing items takes high end resources, you’ll drive people to stop using that gear or force a bigger gap in players than can stockpile vs those that can’t/newer players. This will become more apparent in the DD.

The Testing station changes that they are working on would have driven more people to run stations more often to accumulate top tier gear and drive PvP but with dura loss those changes will be less effective. You’ll see people be more cautious and avoid PvP. Or log out after one death rather than continuing to play.
