I can run levequests but that would also require me to repair and you can only get 3 a day. The instances give you almost no money for running them and you do not get rewarded for not wiping as the repair cost will be almost the same, it seems wiping adds like 2% to the cost. So in other MMO's if you did not wipe you made some money as you would get gold drops from trash/bosses/chests, if you wiped a few times you still made a bit but not as much, in FFXIV you have to repair no matter what. So you are always fighting a downhill battle.
