Repairing Repairs

[SniperRifle]

I like the current repairing system cause the core of my gameplay revolves around repairing people in the city and being helpful. Some people care about content and gameplay and all that lame stuff. But the real fun is in repairing! That's why I'm going to start a petition to get the devs to keep the current repairing system, with subtle updates to make it better.

Better as in;

every piece of gear requires a seperate repair material
gear wears down at 4x the speed
gear can only be repaired by hq mats
NPC repair fee is 900mill for every item so everyone has to come to me to get repairs

These are just some of the changes I would like to see because I'm an asshole.

Like this post if you want to sign my petition!

Dark matter is an odd choice, I thought crystals would be more likely, but this change is definately a good decision.

Reducing the cost of NPC repair is better, but at the same time not very useful.
There isn't much benefit to repairing gear to 75% when nothing can be sold or traded unless at 100%.

Personally I'd like to be able to take all my non 100% gear(most of which is 85-99%) to the repair NPC and just click on all the items and pay to get them back to 100%. But I understand this would undermine the usefulness of crafters so I'm sure it would be greatly protested. But as for me, I don't like a system where I'm afraid to even equip gear cause it might get dinged or scratched and now I have to go through the whole process of finding someone to repair my 99% gear.

Can anyone say finally?!

also zen I POST ON MY PS3 AND HAVEN'T BEEN ON THIS FORUM IN A MNTH. >.>

Protip: By clicking on your name, we can get a link to view your post history. You may want to keep that in mind before outright lying like that.

I played ffxi on my brother/family laptop and had limited time on it. Though sometimes I sneacked on it.

Oh, my bad, you weren't lying. Just making stuff up, since because you "sometimes sneacked on it" you have actually been on the forums in the past month.

You do not have to play an mmo to long to have space issues if you do not know how to manage it. I know how to manage inventory.

True. However, when you have multiple crafting classes at a higher rank and actually play the game, you and your friends often need repairs while in the field and you need to carry a huge variety of materials--not to mention that you've been out in the field, gathering and looting, and the random items you collect add up in your inventory. There is simply no way that you personally will understand this until you experience it yourself. You cannot argue that effectively, because you do not possess all of the facts. It's that simple.

Again there is no reason to pick on me, for saying the word dumb. I think ffxiv duct tape is dumb. I do not hate it.

As usual, I think we're more disagreeing with your points than we are "picking on you for saying the word dumb."

At least they left some material of some kind in so that crafters can still have a job. I'd say be happy that they didn't just go with a one button click repair like other MMO's.

Heck, they could have just let the NPC's do everything for us. I think this is really about condensing inventory space and with this game, that's a good thing.

I can!

Finally they have managed to lessen the role of crafters in the game and diluted a mechanic of the game to worthlessness!!!!

Don't worry, you can still validate your existence and justify your choice in crafting in your mind further because people will still have to come to you for repairs if they did before. Only difference now is that you have to carry a smaller number of repair items around.

I swear it's not like that was all you crafters did. There is that whole "making most of the useful items in the game" mechanic but I guess that's pretty worthless too. It's not like you make all the R45+ gear....oh wait.

Actually, I'm not that upset. I'm just being bitchy. Sometimes all the negativity on these forums leeches its way into my bones and I have to rid myself of it someway.
