    I have all the jobs leveled as well as all of the crafts leveled. I never repair my own gear for a couple of reasons.

    1. In order not to spend even more gil on your own repairs your gear has to be of lost at least 42% durability. Now then when doing a dungeon or raid I want to be at 100% in case there are several wipes and I don't want to be that guy who makes everyone leave the instance to repair my gear.

    2. It takes too long to self repair gear. You have to switch between 4-5 crafting classes to repair all the gear for 1 job.

    In conclusion playing the I need to wait until my gear is really broken less then 10% or so game, and make everyone else leave the instance when my gear finally does break because lets face it gear probably isn't going to be breaking anywhere but instances for the most part unless you leveling chocobos, just isn't worth it. Most of the hardcore players in my FC already have all their crafts leveled and nobody does their own repairs because its just so much easier to use the npc the amount of gil you save is not worth the effort in doing your own repairs. Making sure everything has lost at least 42% durability so you aren't spending more is somewhat dumb.

    They should just remove dark matter from the game repairs don't use it, or drop its price much lower 10 gil, or make it obtainable by gathering. If I didn't have to spend any money on repairs or was able to gather it then it would be worth the hassle of switching through a bunch of jobs to repair gear.

    The only reason repairs in 1.0 were popular was because the repair NPC was super expensive about 10x more expensive then having player repairs. This isn't the case in 2.0 npc repairs are cheap.

    Grad 5 Gear at 50%
    repair from NPC = 99 gil
    repair with dark matter 5 = 80 gil

    It don't look much, but it sum up. And you can save more gil if you wait a bit longer before you start to repair it.
