Please get rid of repairs.

[Eliseus]

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



This. The game needs gil sinks.

The fact that some of you seriously think this is a gil sink or some kind of economic awesomeness is mind boggling. I don't even care if they leave it in or not, but the fact that this is the case argued to actually keep it in the game is almost not even an argument at all because anyone actually using their head knows this is definitely no gil sink. Maybe if you are in a bad LS that makes you switch between 7 jobs during your event and you wipe 24/7 while doing your events for hours upon hours. If that is the case, either get a new LS and L2play better or stop pugging.

Seriously now. My only pain with the current system, it's that it's easier to repair people's gear in bulk than my own. They could make that I select to repair all gear I have 100-70-50-10-0%-all gear class related. That would make me happy. Instead I got to repair one by one...

Ya, they really also need to get you repair on anything like Dragoon for example if you have the right DoH lvld. I think they also should scale the repair costs on NPC for w/e % your armor is at.

Update:

Got all the gear repaired, and it only killed 3 hours of my sunday.

I find this VERY hard to believe. I also play on Balmung and I have never had this kind of difficulty getting my gear repaired.

It doesn't matter if I am seeking repairs while wearing the gear or if I put the item up in my Bazaar with the cost of the Dark Matter and a small amount of Gil as the reward, it never takes more than 15 minutes.

Also, do you not have a Linkshell? If ever I am having a hard time getting something repaired there is almost always someone in my LS that is willing to do it. Have you ever tried asking your LS mates?

in real life

Have you ever slain a goat with a blade in real life? I can tell you FFXIV does not accurately represent the experience. They don't have to capture the awe and wonderment of a watch repairman either, and could just let a leatherworker fix my gear so I can go back to killing goats.

It happens.

And people bring up linkshell dependency way too much. Yeah i got a linkshell, but i aint a leech either. If i leveled a crafting class i wouldnt want to stop what im doing to go fix someones crap. Common courtesy imo.

Repairs belong to this game as the purpose is to tease gamers. Maybe japanese philosophy. Personally in real life I don't easily get angry, not also in other games. This game is exception. Think the thaumaturge quest Hearing voices. Or the logic of some dungeons. Or waiting that you get missing MP (you never get) or when you hit with your weapon you can drink some coffee and come back to see that it finally hits if not parred. I can play this when I take some good games between. Better than teasing would be to make gamers happy and servers fluent.

[RedAffinity]

I'm gonna support this.

I get the logic, I understand the need for, and I see why it was implemented. But you know what I don't have to think logically every time. I think it's a chore, and I were given a choice, I'd choose for items not to go bad.

HOWEVER, I think just simply weapons (and shield) slot should take damage, and all crafting class with appropriate level can repair it (to be fair to other crafts not just armorer etc..)

Weapon = damage output when it's yellow, and even less when it's red. This impacts magic, too, and healing potency.

[Grim_Lion]

It would be fine if it was only a money sink. But its a time sink some times too, having to wait for repairs before you can begin events.

Im not sure I'd like the repairs removed, but I will hope that in V2 the whole system is stream lined and simplified.

Thanks captain obvious. Where do you people come from?

where do the people come from wanting you to repair there gear for 1gil, anwser that. being that cheap dont even pay for the dark matter.
