Please get rid of repairs.

I'm not any fan of repairs really, but I will pass on EXP loss. Spending some gil, even if it's a noticeable amount, doesn't carry the same feeling of work being undone as EXP loss.

How about auto money loss?
Like Pokemon.

The problem is partly created by the players. SE gave the ability to have the gear fixed while you are wearing it, but a majority of the time that I check people with repair up they don't need anything repaired and they just leave it up. Sooooo..... I stopped checking.

I like the system and don't want it removed, but 5000 gil per repair from NPC is pretty steep IMO, especially for lower lvl.

You might not like repairs but they help to slow inflation within the economy. If you can't wait, pay the 5k. I know standing around sucks.

I think items do degrade a wee bit too fast but other than that I am kind of impartial to the whole thing. If I can't do my own repair or find one of my friends to do it for me, I do a simple shout in Uldah using the auto-translate and I get repaired within 2 minutes. Eg. <Goldsmith> <Repair> <Can I have it> @ Bric-A-Brac <Thank You>

The thing that irks me the most is item degradation when you are mining or gathering. Oh, I'm cutting a piece of grass. Oh shit my velveteen bandana is taking damage over time.

Out of all the things to complain about... I can't even believe this thread is 14 pages.

>_> Lower levels don't pay 5k for a repair unless they're wearing something with an optimal level of like 42 or 50.

then that would be a jack of a all trades and a master of none so why have different classes for doh period if want to think of it that way. only need a certain amount of expertise to make that stone into a gem or turn that iron into an ingot. It's not over thinking if a person wants to be able to repair all items then they should levels those classes my point is not everyone is going to do it. With the example you just gave for a real life issue. you're still running the risk of the job not being done correctly or the person may have electrical knowledge but shit i wouldn't want someone who isn't an electrician working on my electrical issues. just like again I wouldn't want someone who isn't an ear nose and throat specialist tell me how I'm supposed to cure the laryngitis I've had for over two months and quite frankly am still fighting because i'm being referred to another specialist in said field.

Again if they wanna make a key item like that then make it where they have to level all the classes not just one because again as i pointed out a goldsmith knows nothing about leatherworking. Kinda like having to get all your jobs to 30 so they can be a sub job. that I would have no issue with but not if they're not leveling said job needed.

It is more of a handy man and not a jack of all trades. The difference is the proficiency level of the two. Also I was willing to meet people half way and I am sure a lot of others would be too, I wouldn't mind leveling all my DoH to 30 then doing some quest chain or crafting quest on that respective class maybe you have to repair 100-200 items and then you would be able to obtain the key item to let you do all said repairs on you main DoH. Also make it where you have to have the required tool in your inventory to perform the repairs.

Though likely something like this won't happen unless they decide to go against the player poll for some reason or another or try to meet in the middle. Also going back to crafting chat in general I wish they would make it like FFXI where you could only max one said craft or choose it as your main DoH. Then gain access to special recies etc that you could not unless it was set.

Golden Saucer, Triple Triad. Yes, please!
