I also had ideas about weapon skill, where your use of a weapon gives you a "weapon mastery" that results in extra buffs whenever you use that type of weapon (e.g. low tech, rifle, explosive). Just more things to think about. Too many ideas 
Gear Mastery sounds like a great idea! That'd be real cool!
So in essence, if you are active you are going to have to do this a lot more than players that arent??

What, the repairing? What's wrong with that? If you're properly active and attacking a lot then you should expect to have to repair more often. Those inactive people won't have to repair their gear if they don't attack but you're getting exp for your trouble so you aren't losing out.

Well naturally the more action equipment gets the faster it gets damaged, but inactives are in for rude awakening when they find their equipment completely tarnished when they come back (the idea is that smaller damage is cheaper per dmg_point to repair than if it was heavily damaged), since they are free pickings for getting attacked.
Yeah , that will make them want to stay when they come back to detroyed items
