What interaction? Had a few thank yous here and there and a taru that was really appreciative for fixing his staff. Other then that not much interacting. I fix, get paid, thank you, good bye. Repair system is barely even a gil-sink since the npc prices get too absurd.

If anything the repair system is just going to not attract certain player's from buying the game. If they made the npc prices much lower, repair to 100% and add jewelry then I wouldn't mine it. It would also work as a true gil-sink then. Other then that I'm for just scrapping it. It has a bad taste in too many players mouth and deserves to die a lonely death.
