So, why do weapons or gears break so fast? It is you, Square Enix faults. You allow a Rank 1 player to wear Rank 50 gears. It is inappropriate for their rank. Of course, they break down fast and people complaint.

Now SE decided to change their repairing method. I believe this is due to inventory issues, and new players will complaint that they can’t find a field repairing. A lot of it is due a high rank crafters do not having the repair mats on them. I am pretty sure there are no crafters like to carry the repair mat in his/her inventory if it is not needed.

I did a post to ask SE to have DOW and DOM to carry their own repair mats instead of crafters on this link …

But most people voted against it.

Right now I am extremely disappointed with SE repairing repair decision. It is obviously SE did not do proper research and do not understand what most players want.

If they want to solve this issue SE should the following instead…

Put a rank requirement for all the gears (Stop Rank 1 to wear R50 gears)
Have DOW and DOW carries his/her own repair mats (To solve the field repairing issue)
Have different Local vendors sell repairing mats (Making repair mats accessible)

Above are my thoughts, please give me your comments.

Thanks,
