Armor repairing, what do you think about it?

[Kilta_Firelotus]

when i play if I want repairs I hunt and make sure I have enough to get it repaired (breaks included) and even supply you with the mats to repair your tool. Thats the type of person I am. Sorry if that payment isn't "good enough" Maybe you guys should level your gathing classes also instead on complaining how much gil you spend on mats. And demanding profit when this is a video game. Not something to be taken to seriously.

I think it is silly to repair an entire Harrier's Jacket from 0-100% with just one buffalo leather spec. I DEMAND MORE MAT USEAGE!

More seriously. I Repair anything for any price put up, even if it is one gil.

two worlds 2 does it that way. you can break down items into scraps and use scraps to imprive gear. Its a pretty fun and easy system.

maybe look at my class levels i do have my gathering classes leveled also, but that still does not cover the shard usage. demanding us to repair for more than you are willing to play is childish. if you don't like our prices go to the repair npc. it's quite simple. if you have a problem paying 200-500 gil more than the mat is worth to get an item repaired you are the one that is taking the game too seriously. you're likely one of the ones that runs around needing jadenite repair and offering 300gil for it.

Dead horse.
Armor repairs are fine as they are. They are a good chance of collaboration between players with a different focus on adventuring and crafting, and since they introduced the "repair required" bazar icon it's very fast to get anything repaired.

This without mentioning that you have to "quit" nothing for damaged equipment. The disadvantages are quite minimal and you can continue grinding basically as much as you want.

Also, I find paying around 5-6k for a high level item plenty fair, considering how fast you earn money into this game.

No repair material {Yes, please}

Its not hard to get repair mats... lets not go that far. At least from my experiences on Trabia it has not been.

Preeching over and over how everyone should give free repairs, or shouldnt care about the cost is a dead end

facts are facts

People do not want to wait for repairs
yet they are unwilling to pay for them

these are the people who are complaining the loudest about the system, and they are the ones who should outright be ignored. they are the ones who want the free handouts.
the people who DO NOT CRAFT, should have absolutely no say in the matter(im talking about you kilta, we dont care what you would do, you dont craft, so its a moot point on what you think we crafters should do compared to what you claim you would do)

If you care about cheap to free repairs so much get someone in your shell to do it
if you want your instant repair, be ready to offer enough to get someones attention that they will go out of the way to go to you and do it really quick(and be ready to shout, dont just sit there and expect every person who comes by to be able to do it, alot of us are not sitting there waiting to repair your stuff and we only check when we feel like it cuz we are there anyway).

Being the minority of players who craft will repair anyone for no cost...you really cant use them as the "standard" most players want compensation for their work

And yes, i want to be tipped, but i dont demand a tip. If my nugget cost 3k, ill probly still do the repair for 3k.
If you provide the material however....dont go offering 1 gil for the repair right after, its still pretty rude. People who do this....obviously dont want me to ever repair them again, they are the people I skip over.


Also, there is a HUGE difference between repairing for profit, and repairing to break even/get tipped. People wanting profit look for the 10k+ repairs primarily or want "huge" tips. asking 1k for a tip isnt really making alot of money(especialy since i can vendor half the stuff i make for well over that). The entire reason we do this is to make it feel worthwhile, to give us a reason to want to repair, and "helping other players" isnt a reason, its a copout used by those who dont want to pay.


The system works fine as is, you dont need to change it, you dont need to remove it. The only problem there is, is with people who just dont want to pay or take any time whatsoever to get repairs.

here here thevedis for crafting president!

completely agreed i was sitting here saying 200 over cost of mat and getting blasted. i understand there are dickheads that want 10k for a 500 gil mat and that is stupid, but we also have people wanting 500 a damn shard or 5000gil for a stupid cotton boll in the wards. i dun see the crafters making threads about that, but dun complain when the costs gets transfered back the other way.

OMFG!!! Let me break it down...

1) Player seek repair should be able to optionally put the repair materials with the item so that player that repair can just use that right away to repair and not as a reward.

"crafting player do get experience out of this, so they shouldn't complain not getting rewards money."

2) Rewarding should only be with money an option and nothing else.

"so this means if seeker have materials with item to repair right away and reward only 1 gil, repair players can use that materials right away to just get easy experience for doing the job for them."

3) If so happens that the player seek repairs does not have materials and reward 1 gil.

"if there is kind enough player out there, they might do it, unless you willing to make a better offer or you will have to wait forever or go to the NPC repair."

This way nobody is gaining or losing over anybody, unless a nice person decide to help at their kindness. To break even should always be the key in the economy, so there won't be inflation as over pricing or being too cheap. Players have to be reasonable to the price offer and be nice to each and another. Because to be nice to someone will someday remind that person to be nice to someone else. The chain of kindness should flow through this game, if everyone could only be more reasonable. I don't meant to offend anyone in any way, but think about it. Most players are adult, and please act like one. Thank you...

umm ffxi bonecraft.... it is harder to craft in ffxi. as getting mats were even more of a pain. I still would give/ do craft for free it is just who I am

In ffxi i gave ppl okote for free. And those are a pain to get

I don't take mmo to seriously, just enough to realise i talk with humans and treat them as such. I personally don't care for rewards when I'm just happy to help a fellow player out. MMo are games, Abd I crafted in many of them I find it fun actually, and consider it something for me to do. I don;t treat it like a job where I require payment.

You just summed me up in that post, stalk less please! :P

In XI I was doing free teles outta WG when warp taru was taken b4 ppl started using pay taru. ppl were charging 20-30k for teles.

If I partied with someone who was undergeared(using a level 30 weapon at 60+) I would go BUY him a weapon/armor off AH and tell him merry christmas lol.

If someone needed help with just about anything I always pitched in and when traded gil I refused and told them I am not a mercenary I am a person.
