[Dev1070] repair system: what do you think?

[Cutriss]

I think it'd make even more sense if we could simply use the repair item offered to do the actual repair. If I didn't have to go find the mat, make the mat, etc, I'd be all about doing repairs for free for the sp.

I had thought about that but then the problem is that the system is designed to give you "blah" as a reward, and putting the mats in the reward would mean you'd have to go get mats anyway. They'd have to have an optional section that says "I'll provide the materials" and allows them to put them in place.

Also, can you lose materials on a failed repair? If so, then that would essentially allow you to "troll" repair-seekers by intentionally trying to repair things you know you'd fail at.

adding a section to choose how many attempts your willing to fund works too

so if you have 10 nuggets, itl take 10 nuggets from you and give people 10 tries before it falls off your list as a failed repair

but yes, people would mess with you on purpose and thered be complaining that people too low to do it succesfuly easily are trying to repair them for sp and eating up their materials
