This game is amazing!

So you're complaining about a game that has durability when 900% of games have the same thing that are RPG's.
So you didn't pay attention and now you're unhappy? You knew about durability when you built your hammer. You knew about durability when you built your axe. It sounds like you got carried away without paying attention and now you're stuck between a rock and a hard place *hits drums* lol. resolution?

Go to another world, repair, come back.
