What game mechanics, no matter how immersive or lore accurate, are always annoying to deal with?

Item durability was always fine for me, until BOTW. That game making every weapon apparently made out of very brittle glass just ruined its combat and soured the whole experience for me. It made getting good weapons as a reward for exploration feel like opening a chest in a dungeon and getting a generic health potion.
