I don't see why we have to have a repair NPC or why we should just have these mistakes be a thing (wouldn't mind an NPC if lore fits, but has to be feature scrapped so people don't shop).

If people don't want to have another repair option, which is fine, could we at least make it so you can't queue for stuff if you're below like 50% durability? At the point of hitting 0 everyone would leave anyways lol, and you couldn't re-queue until you fixed your stuff. So if people don't want the extra net then just put up a simple blockade instead :P, in a round about way it also solves the issue. Compromise . (I do think its funny if you're frequently queuing with broken gear, that's really hard to do.. like I've never had broken gear in a dungeon before lol).

Although I really wanted the moogle buddy, and feel it could fit (just partial features inside dungeon, so people don't shop around - outside could be featured better). Pops up, hiding his pom cause he's scared, ask for repairs - charges you 10% extra cause he's in a dungeon other features blocked out cause you're in a dungeon, leaves. Outside you can send him to retrieve/deposit stuff from retainer, tell your squadron to stop lazing about, etc.
