It's important for a healthy economy to have item sinks, so that anything that can be crafted can also be destroyed:[1]

  1. Over-enchanting carries the risk of destroying that item[2], rendering it useless for use temporarily.[3]
  2. Players gain craftable items and recipes from deconstructing (salvaging) completed items.[2]
  3. A portion of resources and materials are lost when caravans or nodes are destroyed.[4]
  4. Corrupted players who die can lose gear.[5]
  5. Item durability (item decay) does not destroy items, but it acts as a materials sink.[5][6][7] Zero percent durability will unequip an item, increasing its repair costs.[8]

An important aspect of a healthy economy is having some item sinks available... There are three kinds of item sinks: You can gain craftable items from deconstructing completed items; You can have decay... and if you want to over-enchant that item there will be a potential to destroy it as well. It's important for an economy to experience those types of emphasis on what can be crafted as well as seeing those items that are crafted be destroyed as well..[7]

The concept there is this is part of the engine that is supply and demand. So the server is constantly generating these materials on tick as they propagate throughout the world and get repopulated, players are going out there and collecting these things. We want to make sure that there is a driving force and factor behind what crafters and gatherers are out there doing: There's constantly going to be a demand for them to supply these things. Whether that death is from PvP or from PvE these are going to be necessities for players to constantly provide.[6] – Steven Sharif
