Please get rid of repairs.

[Impulse]

You obviously haven't read all the thread because for the most part the only person that complained was the OP, most other things was that its just dumb mechanic. Oh and before you quote me and say something nothing to do with what I said, I said OP for the most part, not the only one. Am I really on a server with so many idiots?

I ask myself the same thing every day. Are we?
Either way, if the OP doesn't want to do something so simple as standing in a populated spot or interacting with people in an MMO to get what he needs, he has no room to complain.

I guess we are

Stop being such a cheap ass if you refuse to lvl a craft. not like 5k is hard to come by. Or if youd offer more then 1 gil or the dark matter ppl would be more inclined to repair. But I dont even check ppl anymore because 90% of the time its a primal weapon up to avoid the U/U, Or someone who just forgot to take the symbol down.

Leave your character online while you sleep. You're gear will be repaired when you log back in.

LOL thats not a solution .. what ever happened to saving energy ?

I've read the entire thread, and all of the "complaints" can be resolved by flagging up and waiting a moment in Ul'dah.

or even paying the fees from the npc

I was there in the old days, that sucked too.

I will not level a crafting class.

The more and more I want to like this game, the more and more stuff gets in the way. Perhaps it just aint for me and never will be.

How can a 5k per item fee make you want to quit? I am poor on the game by everyones standards and I have no problems whatsoever with a 5k per item fee. It really doesn't hurt you bad especially when you can farm that amount in less than 10 minutes. Get like 4-5 boar hides or raptor skins and bam there is your repair bill.

Sure like in FFXI when I didn't have to repair my gear, but then again when I died I lost my hard earned EXP and that is a system I hate more than a repair system anyday. Instead of saying you hate it give a reason why, and an idea of what would be better than it and how it would effect the current economy by taking away several class crafting mechanics.

Currently it is just about the only gil sink that doesn't give back to the players, it is very effective for the small fee it takes out for the people that do use it and it doesn't effect the people who do not. Currently it works with no hitches and a small fee what is there to complain about? If you don't want to repair your gear so much don't die so much.

P.S. Felis did you play FFXI? and was it under Felis? If so what server? Just curious

shoot not just that if he's got a 5k repair bill then he's atleast lvl 50 go get and repeatedly do lvl 40 leves or get a full party of people doing it and bam you got the money for the repair bills easily make around 100k per 8 leves and get a full party of 50 it'll be short work on those leves and good money

Repairing is good atm but it needs a bit of tweaking to make it perfect.

My Suggestion to make this better is by having having teh cost of repair based on the %.
Say from 0% Durability to 99% costs 5000 gill.
But lets say i want to repair my weapon wich sits at 45% Durability to 99%, so the cost should be 54 % from the 5000 gill is 2700 gill to get it repaired to 99 % again. Becouse im not repairing it from 0 durability. I think the gill should scale with the amount off % durability you have on your gear.

Did i make sense?

[Alhanelem]

no I aint paying 5000 per item for 99%.

Then have a player repair the item for you.

Nobody "likes" the system, but it's a gil sink so it's not going to go away. It's also basically the only penalty for death.

you did but they're not going off of that that would mean even lower lvl items could be 5k to repair if they're down to 0% right now it's based on the level of the item. higher level items and rare ones flat rate of 5k repair weither it's 0% or not and the lowers i've seen down to 300 gil no matter what.

it makes sense but if they do itthey should scale it for the level of the item as well not just durability
