Repair NPCs in Dungeons

One solution would be to allow another player to help your repair your gears, similiar to the Request Meld function.

This is a far, FAR more reasonable suggestion and I'm 100% surprised this hasn't happened yet.

I used to wonder why too, then I realized the answer is RMT.
RMT A queues into dungeon A - RMT B miraculously makes it in too. RMT requests repairs from B, offering 100k or whatever monies to B. RMT B repairs and leaves 100k richer. They have managed to move monies between servers (admittedly just within the data center) but they can move gil. I wondered why they don't just cap the repair reward /shrug. It's one of the few things I miss from 1.0.

This would be a good solution.
I can understand why people don't want to level crafting just so they can repair their own gear, because you need to get several classes to 50 in order to repair everything. If you don't have a lot of gil, that means spending a lot of time doing something you don't enjoy.
Allowing another player who has levelled crafting to repair your gear would fit in lore-wise and benefit everyone.

Another option might be something similar to the repair robot in WoW. I'd love the option of being able to craft an allagan repair node which can be summoned in an instance, with a really long cooldown so it isn't abused, of course.
However, from the way the thread has gone so far, I suspect something like that might be too convenient for a lot of people.

This used to actually be a feature in 1.0, until it was removed for reasons yet unknown. Either way, I support the idea of both having a means of repairing your gear at the entrance to each dungeon and being able to request repairs from other players.

I have all crafting jobs at 60, and I feel the reduced repair costs make it more than attractive enough. We don't need to make repairs so difficult for other players who just want to level their combat classes. Besides, the number of times I've been in a team with someone who breaks their weapon are innumerable. It would be a godsend if they could repair their gear just by backtracking to the entrance.
