That's my 2 cents, what's yours?
I think it's fine.

You're only in the 20's on most jobs, and Pug 33, right? So that means your gear takes pretty cheap dark matter to repair. Stick your repairs up at 2k reward and stand in the middle of the street while you go to the bathroom or make yourself a drink in the kitchen. In a few minutes, someone will have repaired your gear.

The crafters are not in control of the economy or even the "repair market". You merely need to offer a repair reward that is slightly above the cost of the dark matter.

Reduction is another problem where if the % it would also effect the performance against fighting, party, or even solo'ing. Players want to fulfill their maximum performance as their job and their abilities in the long run.
What's this reduction you speak of?
