Sure maybe I could just turn it into materia, but if I'm not interested in materia at least I have the option to let someone use the piece of equipment I may no longer need.

I'm not asking for another method, I'm asking for them to get rid of it completely lol. It's just a bad mechanic, sure it makes sense to have it, but it is just dumb.

I'm sure people will find reasons to argue, because that is how the human race is, people like to argue, but it really is just an annoying feature to deal with.

I'd be happy with a repair all option for yourself, still requiring the gear swap though.

Yes, if you haven't noticed, I just really hate repairing lol.

Please no, self repairing is an important way to exp and not face the abismal fail rate of crafting in general, a tool tab would be the way to go since a belt/sash etc should be able to hold something like that.

Lame excuse, if you are having an "abysmal" fail rate then you are crafting wrong, or just spamming standard synth thinking that is the only way to do it. The exp is understandable.... maybe, but still doesn't merit that having to repair is worth it.

i find that getting rid of repair all toghether is stupid and lame. See what i did there.. <_<

This breaks my immersion. Please keep it out.

Jeez then what the whole point in having classes then if you can even take 3 sec to switch your main?? (talk about spoiled)

If you represent the majority of the lv.50s of this game, then your cheap #1, your lazy #2 and finally #3 inefficient. I'm not even level 50 yet and i got over 600k, so gil isn't hard to come by and repairs are not a major pain. Plus I die most of the time in exp grinds so if it wasn't for gear-duration and repairs, I'd probably be loosing a lot of exp due to penalties.

Crafting and repairs are the sole backbones to FFXIV, such a thread like this is defamatory of a good, fun system that helps replace exp penalties. Making it simpler could make the over all system more convoluted or lead players just to find more to whine about. SE made the system so user friendly since the time it was created, less tedious with less steps to take.... man, just deal with it.

Careful now. If you cut all the corners, you won't have anything to grab.

But yeah, the option would be nice and it only gets rid of unnecessary flack.

It's a bit hard on mage classes right now because it will reset cooldown timers on important abilities like Presence of Mind, Raise, Benediction, Convert, and Burst. Or Battle Voice for Bard.

Because of the timer reset I can't afford to repair other people's gear even though I want to. As a White Mage main, I would be letting the party down if I couldn't raise a member because I helped someone with a repair before going into the fight.
