Haven't they fixed this yet

Or just let me make the repair while on any job if I have the class leveled to do so... You can't actually fail a repair so don't even make me switch to a different class to do it.

Also, let me just repair my pants while I have them on. I know it makes no real world sense but it is a pain to swap to my weaver needle, take off my pants, open my inventory, repair pants, put back on pants, put back on BLM weapon.

Well, I can see that being an issue. People alternating battle voices and stuff then going back to another class. I agree with Babydoll though, there should be a way to differentiate it between swapping between another battle class and crafters/gatherers. I don't see anything wrong with your timers being ready to go once finishing a round of gathering/crafting. It's not like you can carry a bunch of people through stuff on a crafter/gatherer all the time to exploit this.

I'd also ask where's the gameplay in any of this?

Gear breaks slowly (thank god!) but it's effects are barely visible in you normal month.

Fixing it doesn't require doing anything special so why is it there?!

If death penalty is the only reason then they should have come up with more threatening and real thing to avoid. Gear half damaged or not is barely noticeable.

omg people are still crying for death penalties? You know what hows this for a death penalty.

1.) Die
2.) Grab hammer
3.) Smash other hand
4.) profit

While I find the reply quite funny, the OP never actually requested a specific death penalty - he simply is suggesting a greater sense of consequence. I replied earlier that I don't agree with him.

....Open your gear tab, seek repairs, make sure you have dark matter. Problem solved..

This doesn't help you if there is nobody around to repair for all the classes you currently need. Your solution to repairing quickly is waiting for someone else to do it, then thats even more slow and unreliable.

Since you're obviously new to FFXIV I'll let you in on a secret: The entire foundation of the game is laggy

And i've been playing since beta. Yes the entire interface is convulted and laggy but the repair system is a shining example of this and that is what we are discussing.

Perhaps you should think before you open your mouth.

Happy Friday!

While I can’t share all the details on repair in A Realm Reborn, the lead developer for the system told me that once you become the class required to repair the item you would like to fix, you will be able to make repairs in 3 clicks.

I believe this is much faster than the amount of clicks being listed in this thread.

Nice, clicking the damn button has become too much work for people.

edit:
dev just said this is how it is!

Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited for that. I figured this would be addressed in 2.0, anyway. :3
