Ok, pet peeve of mine that has now gone on long enough that I feel the need to join everyone else on their whinging festival and post on the forums.
I have leveled all of the crafts except cooking to 40. I have done so because I feel useful when I can craft, meld or repair things for others.
Every time I'm at a camp, or outside a dungeon, or in a city, or freaking anywhere, I check people who have the repair icon up. I do not do this for the small amount of gil that is offered. I do this because it sucks to have damaged gear and I like to help.
So far, 8 times out of 10 when I change classes to perform a repair for someone, they don't have the dark matter necessary for the repairs.
WHY? Why do you have all of your gear up for repair, but NO FREAKING DARK MATTER????
Please, for the love of all things holy, tell me why?

Why don't you ask if they have DM before wasting your time?
-
10-06-2012, 01:06 PMRickyPeople generally have their gear up for repairs with the new UI functionality, then go AFK with no dark matter in their bagsQuote:

Carry your own, and only do ones that cover what you feel their value is?

I carry my own, and I would not mind using my own to complete the repairs. However, when the option to put up all your gear for repair is used, it won't let me just use my own dark matter. Which is why this is so irritating to me.

In my case, Sometimes I don't want ALL my gear repaired just 2-3 pieces, but the options are main hand + offhand / ALL equipped gear (armor/accessories). Which is annoying because sometimes you have gear at high % and don't want it repaired to wast gil/DM.

10-06-2012, 01:59 PMDeceptistaryeah i generally dont repair the gears that are like near 90% and above. Im sure they would be irked lolQuote:

It also seems like a lot of people forget or don't bother to turn off their repair flag.
Unfortunately, these days unless someone specifically asks for a repair I don't bother looking (despite the repair flag) because it's usually a waste of time. -

I feel that feel, OP. Irritating to say the least.

Even more perplexing. Is to run across the rare creature that doesn't have the 500 Gil necessary.
-
10-06-2012, 06:41 PMSolArisaBecause the game allows people to set up item for repairs when they don't have the matter.Quote:

Say, anything below 60% is fair game, while anything above that shouldn't get repaired. (That's my personal rule when I repair other characters gear.) And secondly, since DM is only used for repairs, a DM bag or something to hold it all would be nice. Right now I hold all my DM in my bazaar and when I put use the automatic gear repair button I take down what I need.Quote:

This is just another screw up by SE. The game should not allow you to put up for repairs without darkmatter/gil. I've never understood why they allow this. Makes no sense.

I did this once, put an item up for repair, saw I needed g4 DM, went and bought it, shouted for a repair
Guy came along tried to repair it, said I didn't have DM, took off bought it came back and repaired my item
I offered to reimburse him for it but he said it was ok
2 things
SE fix your POS game I had an item up for repair I updated my inventory I shouldnt have to take item off repair list and put it back up AND DONT ANY OF YOU FANBOIS CALL ME LAZY
There are nice people out there just not enough for my liking -
10-06-2012, 11:20 PMFelisI have no Dark matter, but 2500-3500 gil as reward for everyone who want to repair my stuff in my bazaar.Quote:

10-06-2012, 11:57 PMdarkstarpoet1it has nothing to do with being funny. it's the way the repair menu is setup for repairs is repair all. i select repair all and am not wasting my time to go through each piece for 500 gil. if you don't want it repaired then don't have it up with the repair flag open. this isn't taking into account i don't know if someone is wanting 100% repairs on everything to sell in the wards or not.Quote:

10-07-2012, 02:07 AMElexiaActually, the game will tell you when you don't have the necessary DM and gil to proceed with repairs. While it will let you set up the flag it gives you a nice, obvious warning which clearly people choose to ignore.Quote:

Why do the fanbois DEFEND every deficiency in this game?
-
10-07-2012, 02:08 AMElexiaWhy do people who think everything is bad about certain current systems continue to play the game? Answer that question.Quote:

I'm just going to give the benifit of the doubt here.
In case you were not aware this particular issue is already on the dev laundry list of 'shit we gotta fix with 2.0'. A while back one of the reps. Rurikki if i am not mistaken stated that the devs did want to add a repair threshold Ie any gear above a certain percentage of durability would not be flagged for repair. How ever there unable to do so with the current client as it is a giant flaming pos.
I will agree that it's a bugbear to deal with most of the time. It's just one we have to deal with as this client has less then a month of life left in it and development for it has stopped.
