Yoshi Please fix the repair NPC

[Tiraelina]

Repairs from an NPC is supposed to just be an alternative to player repairs, not a replacement.

Well you could argue that player repairs are pointless now, I have a weaver high enough to repair most of my Con gear but rarely do because its time consuming, clunky and just a pain in the ass.

I would rather just run up to an NPC and get it fixed (like in any other MMO out there)

I beg to differ. I still make use of player repairs everyday, either by repairing my own gear or having friends repair mine. Moreover, NPC won't follow me out there into the field (I go far away from Aetheryte camp), in caves, or in dungeons. And seeing how they changed player repair so that we don't have to look for repair material anymore, but it gets put into the synthesis box automatically, player repair is not "pain in the ass." Dark Matters are also usually cheaper than paying the NPC, and we can also get free Dark Matters from gathering, treasure chest, or LQ reward, which reduce the cost even further. So nope, player repair is not pointless.

Not to mention, you sometimes save the repair material too, basically making it almost free, aside from time of course.
