Please just get rid of repairs.

Please get rid of atomicdeath.

well you skipped over the whole thread were all i said was that gear damage wasn't not here from the start as a penatly for dying since that is a newer aspect. i never argued anything about gear damage for being in battle there fore i skipped over that part.

No but there has always been gear damage for being in COMBAT.

Repairs existed for a reason. And they still do.

gear damage wasn't a penalty for being in combat it was for taking damage, casters barley ever got damage in party play

I absolutely hated repairs at first. It was very expensive, very solo unfriendly (if you died, no one around to raise you), and 75% was frustrating considering the rate at which armor would break down.

Now?

I have appropriate armor for my level, and I go a week or more without really thinking about repairing any gear. When it's time, the NPC takes care of it up to 99% ~ not even an issue for me personally.

Repairs suck because when I want to lend equipment to a friend, I have to make sure its 100% first.

Stupid.

do people not notice that this was clearly a troll post? the person joined today, made one post (this one) and has not done anything since?


-.-

although since this has started a discussion, I would say I am for the gear repair, like others have said, it requires players to manage more.

I like the current repair system. It's like give public still some attention to to crafters while won't bother them too much.
Before I do craft is totally to repair my own items. That's also the reason most of my friends lv crafts. Now they all simply ignore crafting because it's cheap enough to afford.
If there is no repair, the current death punishment need to be adjust again. I don't want to get back to the XI style that one death = ~ half hour of exp pt.

Its not that hard to get things repaired.. there are NPC's even out at most (if not all) aetherytes as well as in town. They fix things to 99% which is good enough for the most part as I believe I read somewhere that it doesn't really scale down attributes until its under some low % mark. You only need things at 100% if you want to trade or sell them. It doesn't even affect materia quality when changing items into materia. It hasn't even costed me that much to fix things. I'd rather fix things then lose exp, so I think its good as is.

There's zero gameplay in it.
