Please just get rid of repairs.

http://www.ffxivcore.com/topic/32289-repairs/

Repairs prevent me from enjoying the game like i should, and im not the only one. You devs need to think up different gil sinks.

Every game i have played that has had a repair system ended up getting rid of it because its un-popular. Give us something we want to spend gil on, not spending money on something we already got.

IMO the only reason repairs are in game is cause they do not have anything to replace it with yet. You can see that every time they tweak repairs it gets easier and less bothersome... because it sucks.

With the materia system crafters are taken care of because gear is always being destroyed.

Its gonna happen eventually anyway, just do it.

for what i remember, diablo and WoW are very succesful and they have repairing...
that said, i don't care of repair sistem

Repairing isn't a gil sink (or else we wouldn't have the millions upon millions of gil we do), the only reason it ends up unpopular in games is because players hate having to work for things, they hate having to actually pay attention to what they're doing in their gaming.

Repair systems were fine before the "I want it noooow and I don't like micromanaging!" generation of MMO gamers sprung up. I like the repair system, they already simplified it enough for the complainers, they don't need to axe it.

Ok they can take out repair but you lose EXP for dying which one you like? I don't think you want to go do event then lose 50k and go rebuff it :) so i think repair should stay even tho i like lose exp or repair so fine by me.

It's just a gil sink right now. It was supposed to make crafters useful in the long run but it didn't work and as OP said they have materia now to keep them busy.

Edit. Well after a little bit of tought I agree that I prefer repairs than some other stupid death penalty.

Repairs are a less severe deterrent to keep from dying than losing xp, but with how the server infrastructure and things are right now, there's no way they could justify using xp loss as a penalty for dying.

actually it is the definition of a gil sink

Repair is in place because there needs to be some consequence to dieing/being in battle.

A couple of minutes in a weakened state isn't punishment enough for being reckless in battle.

The current system is very affordable compared to other games.

Repair NPC is your friend. Especially since NPC's can repair accessories in next patch.

You'd expect this sort of "I dont like Repair" "Airship cost is too much!!!111!" thread from someone who didn't have a LVL 50.

But this? Shame on you.

They should not remove repairs.
