99% repair NPC [Thanks for the offer...]

[naaros]

Also, after these changes if you see someone asking for a repair you'll know he wants to sell it, so let' say you find someone that needs to repair a Crab Bow HQ and you happen to have one to sell, or the materials to craft one, or just the appropriate class and rank to do it, will you repair it?

Of course I would if I had the craft leveled. I'm not a complete jerk~.

[HiirNoivl]

will you repair it?

Yes. If the price is right. One thing is certain: Unless someone's a friend, altruistic repairs are dead and buried as of this announcement!

Have you read the whole thing? I said I use to repair everyone without even looking at the prices just because I know having stuff to repair is annoying.

There's a reasone why I made my example with Crab Bow HQ: right now I think it's one of the most flooded items on sale (last time I checked there were 70 of them at the market on my server) what I said is situational, obviousely I don't care if someone wants to sell a... Pine Crook, for instance. You can be as hypocrite as you want, but you know there will be situations where what I said is gonna happen.

Basically it seems you want the repairs to be extremely convienent for your own personal benefit, reguardless of how it effects the DoH in that respect. I am okay with making it ALOT more convienent, but I think it should maintain the price of 75% max repair.

You may disagree with me on the idealogy, but think the codependancy on the DOH and the DOHs dependancy on the DOL, are core concepts of the game.

Which myself and many others feel should change a bit.
I +1 the 99%. Ill still need to interact with a crafted to repair it so I can sell that item again.
I've gone since open beta and never once used a crafted to repair, I don't think

[HiirNoivl]

Yeah I read the whole thing. I'm kinda ashamed. Everyone used to do free repairs. You're not special. But repairs are now a gil sink. You can't just put up a twig and be done with it. They're lowering the price though so it still possible to be altruistic if you are so inclined. But I'm not going to SPEND gil to make repairs to a total stranger. Why would I do that?

I don't care how many Crab Bow HQs are for sale. I'm not in the market to sell any.

PS: I had a Crab Bow +1... when I was done with it, I gave it away. Any crafter who thinks they can control the market by not doing repairs has issues.

Typing on my phone.
Going from 75% - 99% will only mean ill be able to play an hour longer till id ho back to the repair nov anyway. It doesn't actually change dependancy

[Dreadnought]

Nov= npc. Boooo you can't edit messages on the mobil site

[Firon]

In my opinion thats not all of there core concepts. I bet if you did a poll and asked all DOH "Do you believe repairing is a core value of DOH?" you would be proven wrong here, because in FFXIV it has been a core concept since day 1.




I see ridiculously over priced crystals/mats all the time on the wrads, and by the spirit of this thread, it is expected we should blame all the DoW/M for that since they farm the items right? I mean you guys are trying to ridicule all the DoH based on the lack of action of the few.

I can run and park my toon in the LS spot for either one of my main LSs or at the repair NPC in Uldah, walk to the restroom and return, and my items are repaired upon my return.

Now I am okay with repair NPCs galore, but I am not okay with it being done to max repair capacity, and done cheaper then the cost of appropriately ranked dark matter.

The bolded/underlined portion translates - put it in easy mode for my favorite classes if it equals damages the classes others play, so what. Make it easy on me a screw the rest of the community.

You mean like when crafter try to sell HQ+1 stuff for like 4 mil

Maybe on Wutai, on my server I set my repair bazaar up, shout once and give my location by the RepairNPC, and go have a smoke. When I come back my stuff is repaired... doesn't seem like hours to me.

Just because it does not take a while for you does not mean its not the same for others.

Also I Will still go to crafters cause if you offer the same DM as the repair needed, that means free repairs cause i get DM for free from the Company Hall.

I hated that NPC's only repaired to 75%.. especially given how much they charge for repairs of high level equipment. You HAD to find a crafter to do your repairs otherwise you'd be seriously ripping yourself off (MUCH higher cost for less repair..). This way there is at least a point to having repair NPCs. +1 to 99%.

[Cycloptichorn]

Just because it does not take a while for you does not mean its not the same for others.

I regularly do the same as the above poster: just do a /shout near Gogorano in Ul'Dah, and offer a nice reward, and presto - your stuff is repaired very, very quickly.
