Please get rid of repairs.

[atomicdeath]

you make it sound like you're doing this every day, and that it's hard to find someone to repair your stuff.

I personally just NPC everything. between guild leves, fishing, and general adventuring i'm not scrapped for cash. also getting CNJ from 10 to 48 i've had to repair my stuff maybe 2 times. and one of those times was only because i had a SB party at level 40 and i died like 8 times in a row because i hadn't quite figured out how control my enmity. I wore the same set of gear from 15-30, and then upgraded at 30 and haven't' changed any of my gear (except rings/bracelets/neck) yet.

I really don't think repairs are a problem, especially since you don't need to repair that often. If it is really 'getting in your way' why don't you just repair right before you log off? you're fresh and ready next time you log on.

and even if you have 12 items that are being repaired all at once @5k you're looking at only 60k. if you can't afford 60k i think you have a whole different set of problems. between leves, SBing and selling materia, gathering/farming, gil is retarded easy to get.

Heck, your profile says you have THM50. shout in uldah and PL some newbs for gil. offer to help with AF runs for gil. charge pugs if you're doing primals. you're a THM those are almost always needed, and you can bet some people will pay for your services. Heck, i saw someone shouting to PL 40-50 for 100k a level. and people were joining in droves.

you just sound excessively lazy to me. just like in real life: if you goof off all day and don't try to make any money. . .You won't make any money.

That being said i would like it if repairs were scaled based on how much % you needed to repair. IE: 95% repair costs more than a 5% repair.

I find it a very minor annoyance because i generally repair all of my stuff at once if something is damaged. when i spend 5k for a 2% repair i'm a little miffed. but again, gil is so easy to get i'm over it by the time I walk away.

Naa, not every day. But when the time does come its like XD fuck time for this crap again. Its not that i'm lazy, its just that I find it a very un-fun thing to do. I would also like to save my gil to buy cool shit from the crafters.

My time is limited as it is with work etc. So when i get on I want to get right to it. Then I will play till its time to go to bed, but if I do what you suggest and get my stuff repaired before I go then I will have to cut out the activities I enjoy early to take care of repairs.

So what I have been doing is what someone else suggested in this thread, taking a break logging into another game more often. Then logging into FFXIV to check on my retainer status. Got my 90 day subscription to get the legacy crap squared away. But after that ill prolly unsubscribe again, then give it one last go in 2.0

Not only are you a little late to the thread, but you don't know how to troll.

I didn't read a single post besides OP, but stop being so god damn lazy; level your crafts and play the game even though it's a little difficult.

Apparently someone wanted to wait a month to tell me they can't troll I think. Guess it was worth necroing a thread.

Getting repair remove will interfere with one of the game mechanic
You do know that playing with broken tool in hamlet will give you more score, do you?

If that's the only problem left to remove repair i'd say just raise the hamlet score to broken weapon standards. Honestly, repair in this game doesn't even help ppl who can repair because the amount of gil received is ridiculous.

If repair vanishes from this game i think it would only get better. There are smarter and non punishtive ways to remove gil from the game. Materia itself was a nice touch. I bet SE could come with something else to please players while removing gil from the economy. Just get rid of repair forever.

Hmm, SE can remove repair but let damaged weapon ingame. If your weapon is damaged, buy a new weapon. With this, the gil would be rolling wild in the market ^^

The primary function of materia is to destroy gear. It is a gear sink. The gil is just a secondary effect (only 2% - 10% what you paid for the materia get removed from the game).
