[Dev1070] repair system: what do you think?

[Frisque]

It's deja vu all over again

LOL, I know right? This is almost exactly word for word the same damn "omg why should I have to pay for repairs why isn't everything in the game freeeeeee?!?!1" argument that kilta had on the Zam forums as her now banned alter ego"irishclass" or "irishclass777" (u can google it ). Man, some things never change, lol. *in before lock

I'm starting to doubt Kilta has even played the game.

Edit: I just read the Zam posts she made... Wow. Seriously? Seriously.

link to zam post?
also if its "kilta" on zam its a 2nd/3rd account, she has been banned there several times


also, kilta its kinda funny you are now resorting to comparing real life to the game, didnt you say you couldnt do that(in the book analogy)

either time matters or it doesnt

and in the case of crafting it does

you must pay people for their time, or they just plain wont spend it on you

In my opinion Repair System is useless and just annoying. It doesn't make the game more fun/enjoyable so I hope SE will remove it in the future.

Personally I'd like the whole system to go bye bye. its been a broken mess since alpha and it should go back to being a dumb idea that never got implemented

This is the post with most likes in this thread. And i truly support that idea too.

Yeah there are a lot of people saying that in the game.

I say we keep the repair system, and we also add in a new NPC to each city wearing a grey cloak that repeatedly pesters passing players to "stay a while and listen".

All I will say is that in most occasions, it is cheaper to buy the piece of gear again than go to a repair NPC who charges you a ridiculous amount and doesn't even bring it to 100%.

I am 100% for getting rid of the repair system all together.

Most low rank items can be repaired at the NPC for like 100 gil... why wait for repairs? just buy 2 of the 1000 gil items from the npc, go rock the world until your rank 20 or something, then buy some armor/weapons with value. Anything under rank 25 is a complete waste in this game, you rank though those levels too quickly.

Kilta: If you think people charge too much for something, then rank up your crafting, and charge others less. Until then you are at the demand of other players. (This is the reason why I ranked up my crafting, to not be at the mercy of others)

In the end, its your choice to pay the price... Wait it out and the prices will drop, but keep paying them, and they stay high.

I Do think there moving towards consolidating repair mats into a simplified list, it was a smart move on there part to change weaver needles from needing nuggets to needing whet stones as the repair mat. i think there was a mention of making the same swap with dow weapons.

I was a really big supporter of "repair kits" back in testing. mostly after they actually implemented the durability system and we saw that there were specialized repair mats for every thing, i definitely saw and still see a problem with that long term when we got into "end game" where said materials were scarce and very expensive. Allowing for a wide array of repairs from a limited set of items is a good thing.

I believe that once auto attack is implemented that there will be some adjustments made to the repair system. I mean we will be hitting stuff wether we like it or not so it makes sense to lesson the wear and tear. I dont mind the repair system too much as it did encourage people to craft. In ffxi it was not easy to get encourages to craft vs just lvl your jobs.
