repairing is relevant to all items other than underwear, whether they can be converted to materia or not.

Not everyone does guildleves all day. And in particular, I only do company leves right now for company seals. These leves give very little gil and NPC repairs would drain my coffers if I only used them. It's way cheaper to have a player do it. It can cost over 50k to NPC repair a full set of high level items. That's a lot unless you're a crafter selling multi-melded items for millions.
you do realize that level 20 guild leves give out 4k - 8k and a level 50 can easily plow through several within minutes right? even if the repair cost is 5,000 gil a piece I'm still not in the negative because I have 99 leve attempts? 396,000 - 792,000 gil This doesn't even include the bonus gil for difficulty and speedy completion and if you take a break for a few days it will climb right back up to 99 leves why do you think the RMTs are doing Leves so much? The NPC repair cost has no effect on me there for giving me no more of an incentive to need a player character to give me 1 more measly percent.
