What are they going to do about the tanner guild quests? The argument that this destroys lore does have some merit. This destroys all of the lore built up for an entire class. There could be other lore conflicts as well, but that is what I have come across so far.

The 20, 30, and 36 tanner guild quests revolve around properly repairing items. Heck, the core of 36 guild quest is learning the recipe to repair some shoes. To paraphrase a quote from those quests... "repairing an item is just as important as being able to make an item."
