time to remove repair?

[KisaiTenshi]

The main function of repair is to make it harder to bot and/or discourage people from playing super long stretches of time without really paying attention to anything else going on irl (which can be a big issue with mmos).

It's fine as is.

This is correct, but the game lacks an idle-wear, so it doesn't affect annoyance bots. However perhaps what should happen is an increase in the wear rate on under-leveled gear to make botting more expensive, and stubborn players encouraged to incrementally replace their gear instead of hanging on to level 60 accessories well into level 70 and such.

Some of the more recently ones especially have launched without it. Honestly, it's really not that vital to a game, it's just a nag mechanic that gets rid of gil. But, a lot of people feel like the game has to have such annoyances. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
