I think that it should stay the same not all doh classes should be able to repair all the items whither it's a weapon or a silk scarf there's got be guide lines and if not it in a way makes repairs useless keep it to the classes they're supposed to be for don't make it all out.

Also granted this is a fantasy game but even in fantasy there is limitations on how much is fantasy and how much contains some type of reality.

And if you're thinking about doing it with all classes then it should be something you have the ability to do if you max out all said classes. Seriously though how many people are going to sit there and take the time to max all classes also we don't know if they're going to make it to where you can only lvl 1 class to max like they did in 11 or let you take them all up to their max levels. And honestly most people won't want to level all their doh because some of them might not find those classes interesting enough to play. I don't want to be a black smith. I'll happily pay a blacksmith to repair my gear or make me gear or buy it off the wards.

besides I believe the recent player poll kicked that idea out onto the street with what yoshi-p showed with the results so I doubt they're going to do that.
You are way overthinking things. If you wanted to go with that line of thinking and they took away repairs altogether well that isn't remotely realistic armor get damaged when it is worn from wear and tear. As he said should be mid level quests on crafter classes that allow you to obtain key items to repair all types of gear. You do have people who specialize in a little bit of everything and can do a lot of everything but not to the same degree as say an engineer could. For example my dad is an Engineer who fixes hospital equipment, though yesterday he fixed my brothers electrical damage in his house that was caused by lightning. He isn't a certified electrician nor is that his area of expertise but he has had some training in it and was able to repair the problem for no cost as than getting an Electrician do it for an absorbent amount.

There are handymen all around who do all kinds of jobs that they are specifically trained for like repairs mainly. So saying it isn't realistic is far fetched at the very least. How about them apples for over thinking things!?
