True, but if nothing is said or doen about it, then they shouldnt be surprised either if it should break at random.

Thing is, weapons don't randomly break. It should not be a player's job to say that between adventures they fix their weapons and armor. Mid adventure, if a creature sunders their armor or something, then sure make them say they take time to fix it, but it is assumed they take care of maintenance between adventures. (Which means that the weapon would not break in the middle of the adventure without an outside force making it break. Weapons are far more durable than in movies.)
