I looked around but wasn't able to find anything about if durability will be making a return, i kind of hope it doesn't as it was sort of a pain. Then again it is also a good way to keep players from getting super rich, so is it coming back?

Probably.

Regardless of any arguments on specifics of how long it should take, or a burden to your mental capacity, it's one of the few ways that gold can be drawn out in a nice steady stream and isn't specific to any features or choice. It's a constant deflation technique that counts on nothing more than someone playing the game (ie fighting monsters).

It's a true gold sink, you get no real benefit from it, but it's also one that makes sense thematically, is accepted as a game mechanic already, and hell, it works. I wouldn't expect everyone to be cool with the concept of it, but hey, sometimes you have to do unpopular things to keep more important aspects in check (ie A working economy).
