Sorry but this is laughable at best. Item degradation and repairs do not, in any shape or form, force ANYONE to level crafting jobs. The new "repair required" bazar icon ensures that anyone can get all of his items repaired cheaply and fast.
I didn't repair any of my items myself (despite being plenty able to repair my armor) lately, because just putting them in my bazar and walking around the city 2 minutes is faster and easier than getting the materials from my retainer and switching to the hammer.
