30k+ gil to fix my gear are you freaking kidding me?!!!

WTF is your problem SE.. why do you keep searching for ways to penalize people? I am so sick of your "penalize them for lack of content" method I'm about to throw the towel in.. What made you think people would be happy to have to pay that much to get their stuff fixed? Now it's just as bad getting your stuff fixed by players as it was with the dam NPC...

After every freaking nm run now I'm shelling out 30k + to get my gear fixed since dark matter is 5k a stone at my ranks... You guys are just full of fail, so full of fail I'm starting to think you don't know how to do anything other than fail...
You reduced the NPC repair prices? By what 1%? wtf? repair my freaking r35 pants for 25k are u kidding? ug.. I'm so aggravated now..

FFS we're just trying to get our stuff fixed and you rape us financially... ENOUGH WITH THE PENALTIES... MAKE CONTENT.. PENALTIES DO NOT MAKE UP FOR NO CONTENT, IT MAKES IT WORSE. Not that you care but if it stays this way, I'm so done with this game. it's not fun and your making it worse..

Sigh....
/facepalm

It will cost much less after they start showing up on the market due to gatherers amassing them. Also, thats pocket change if you do your R50 leves.

Been finding a lot of them in instance chests as well.

Dont. Die.

I prefer this way, you aren't losing exp from death, so you aren't really going backwards ingame. But damaging your gear because of death is definitely a good enough reason not to die.

yeah, we need more content and party finder tools, not more penalties
dont listen ffxi fans

My apologies for being so mad in my original post. I'm just sooo urked at this and it has really hindered my play.
I can't say it enough. Enough with the penalties. Death penalty should be some kind of weakness effect, that could be cumulative if you keep dieing, with a stacking effect. that's totally cool..

The added equip damage and cost to fix is just bogus. It's like getting screwed 3 times for one death. You get the weakness, then you get gear damage, then you get financially raped.. You want my first born son too?

Besides who's to say the mob didn't stick his tail in my eye, bypass the equipment entirely and just kill me. You can't say "wow because you died you must of taken some super, massive, ultra, mega hit and let us find some way to screw you" That is lame..

Good ol' Gorgano fixes my stuff for me.

I for one completely agree with solace. With how much equipment damage I'm taking from the dungeons I would rather dish out the 1 Anima for the return. Not to mention as far as I remember using return after being KO'ed didn't cost you Anima. Besides that, what kind of a teleport that's supposed to take you away from danger to recover so you can run the dungeon again takes your equipment to the point of serious repair in 3 deaths? Not to mention as Solace said gives you res sickness and thoroughly rapes your pockets of gil. All I can say to finish this paragraph is this: If the damage is so bad that for the first time in this game as a lvl 50 Glad I had to strip down to my skives and shout for every repairer in the vicinity of darkhold to repair my gear so I wouldn't have to fight the ugly ogre bareback is sad...as well as disturbing. So if any you guys see a guy completely bareback huggin the ogre cause his gears broke weep and remember the name...MADDOX!

No. This is one of many ways for them to fix the economy and remove gil from the system.
Just deal with it and get on with it. If you don't like it, well find ways of getting rid of the 99 Mils people have around.

The one that gets me is that you put your gear up for 7k for repair and someone's reason for not repairing it is "2.5k profit isn't enough."
