Request Repair

[Legion88]

nobody levels a crafter JUST for repairs.
I'm confident enough in the fact that the effort involved in leveling ANY crafting class to cap far outweighs any benefits that "oh.. forgot to fix my stuff" repairs give. All the examples you give for why you shouldn't EVER forget to repair and you then say it's a great perk?
For gods sake I have to REMIND HEALERS TO TAKE ESUNA, god forbid having a crafter leveled lets you do something you can reasonably refuse or ask for money to do and possibly save yourself and 2 other people from waiting in another 20 minute queue.

I leveled my crafters only to repair my gear beyond 100%, also some of my friends are doing it for this sole reason. It is relativly easy with the corresponding beast tribes.
Also you don't need crafters at levelcap to repair gear. It is enough to have it 10 levels below or like stated on the gear itself. Current level 70 gear of all ilvl only needs level 60 crafters and all level 60 gear only needs a level 50 crafter.
The perk is to repair beyound 100% this doesn't exclude the need to repair in itself.
Also beside your not so profecience healers, you can't trade inside duties. What makes you belive that you can request a tip for repairing inside a duty?

Refusing to do a dungeon until you get a repair that costs a crafter money is griefing. Votekicking someone who IN CHAT HAS STATED THEY WILL NOT RUN UNTIL THEY GET A FREE FIX is not griefing in any definable way.

It was never stated, that it costs the crafter anything to repair, so would you not asume it just to make your argument more fitting without stating it beforehand.
In the assumtion that the crafter has to bring in the materials to repair your example is griefing, it may also be griefing/harassment if the requester has to bring in the materials. In this example the wording is the big deal.
Another example:
"Hey, it seems i forgot to repair my gear before the duty and it will break every second. Can you fix it please? I got all you need."
in this example a votekick can be classified as griefing/harassment also the rejection of the repair can be classified as griefing or harassment.

The problem is:
If the repair costs are by the crafter the pointy end points towards the requester.
If the repair costs ar by the requester the pointy end points to the crafter.
Also the wording is a big deal.
If i come in like a rowdy "You! Repair my gear or nothing good will happen!" is more or less griefing/harassment in itself.
But if i do it with an angels voice like a sweet princess with the eyes of a welp (i can't write like that so no example) it moves the burden.
