ADD REPAIR VENDORS TO CRYSTAL TOWER!!!

[Tupsi]

I love how white knights always turn issues where FF14 is the only game that got it wrong into a 'entitlement generation' issue. The gear repair issue is SOLVED in MMORPG. You either have a vendor at the start of the instance, or you allow people to summon a repair vendor. Most games have both. FF14 is the only MMORPG I can think of in the last 5 years that has neither with gear damage. This is a problem in FF14 because it failed to do something every other MMORPG succeeded. It is not the player that's supposed to change his way to make up for amateur dev mistakes.

Then again I guess wanting item links would be entitlement too, and you can just alt-tab to another site.

It's probably because SE overestimated their playerbase and figured people would do the logical thing.
