they got rid of 90% of the stupid things tanaka did except repairs.

Sorry, having to disagree =)
Repair is cool, it's really easy to do and stuff, but I have to complain about something:
Even though it's easier to do now, without submenus and stuff, I don't like the fact that we're hammering NOTHING and get up and down like f*cking robots.
And you know what's even worse for me? People see me repairing nothing! It's like I'm staying before them scratching my tummy doing nothing at all.
So I was hoping for a 1.20x fix for this, hope you Devs will read this after your holiday =)

I got like 5 stacks of dark matter yet I always pay the 25,000+ gil to repair at the npc, I can't be bothered going through 75 sub windows, waiting on a friend to repair it, re equipping it when that greedy little bastard does it in uldah almost instantly.

Exactly how I feel sometimes. I can repair all my gear I just pay sometimes to save my eyes the trouble of searching through menues and clicking and searching and clicking, then swapping tools, and rinse repeating.

In 2.0 they should move that little lalafell gogorano to an alley somewhere and make him all beat up. when you speak to him he says with bloodied lips "Apparently people didnt take kindly to my prices and ease of use over player repairs. I will repair all your sh*t free, just please dont hit me again."

[Scherwiz]

Wait, so now repairs are Tanaka's idea too?! I was confused by the fact that they appear outside of SE mmo's MY MISTAKE.

"WoW did it better?"

Yes, just one click and repair all. What is with FFXIV try make everything complicated. It take me a whole minutes go through NPC repair individual items.

Your life has clearly been wasted, where will you ever get that kind of time back.

Well then, was wondering when this particular horse was going to be dug up shot and beaten again.


The repair system was never about keeping your gear in working order, Its there to be a currency agitator both removing it from the system and keeping it circulating among players. Granted the recent changes to it have significantly reduced its capability in both aspects. It has the secondary effect of being a market limiter.


I will agree that there are to many steps involved in getting and performing repairs, I have always said this about the system. Over complication was one of the hallmarks of early xiv that is thankfully being taken care of in just about all aspects of the game.

This is it exactly. I'm the exact same way.

Equipment repairs are in every mmo ever. They're not going away.

What they are however is implemented poorly. Even after they've retardized it with dark matter instead of actual materials (necessary for inventory space yeah I know.) The menu system for getting gear repaired is so convoluted it's insane.

I will ALWAYS use the npc to repair until we can flag an item for repair while wearing it, with a few clicks. (especially weapons omg. I don't carry a spare axe, switching classes by taking off axe for repairs removes all my other gear too? wtf).
And yes I know it makes NO sense to have your stuff repaired while wearing it. That's one thing I don't care about because it's just so inconvenient otherwise.

Only reason for player repair is if you want to sell item or give it to a friend ._.

just my 2c
