Well, this is probably subject to change, but a dev post said:

4. The price for NPC repairs will be greatly lowered.
(The price per item will be fixed at 100G/500G/1000G/2100G/5000G according to the level of the equipment)
5. The cost of Dark Matter will be lowered.
(G1/G2/G3/G4/G5 = 50G/300G/700G/1500G/3500G)
So basically the NPCs will repair for about the price of what we pay crafters right now. So I'd imagine most people would just use the NPC until they want to sell an item. I suppose some people would want to save a little money and still get crafters to repair gear for a little cheaper, but I doubt that will be most people.
