Kinda speaks volumes about how bad the 1.20 idea is...

this is BS why don't you just get rid of the repair system if you have to ruin it this way??

And all the people complaining about "AAAAW getting stuff repaired is a pain in the ass, i'm obliged to grind AAAAALL of the crafting classes in order to repair my stuff and it sucks, and it costs money and I don't want to pay people to repair my stuff and i don't want to wait ages for a repair..." LOLWUT? have you played this game at all?? It takes FIVE MINUTES staying next to Gogorano to get all of your stuff repaired, is it that bad?? Are you so busy you can't spend 5 minutes in the same spot??
But the worst of all are those whining about how they don't like crafting, but have to do it in order to repair their stuff... well guess what, this is an MMO, you're playing with other people, you can ask someone else to do that for you.

Honestly this whole thing, not just the 1.20 part (worst idea EVER), is just dumb. Speaking for myself, I don't really care about the gil income when i repair stuff to strangers, usually i do it even when they put ridiculous reward, like 1k for a grade 5 thing, I just do it cause I know NPC is expensive and waiting too much for a repair is annoying, but once NPC will be cheap and will repair to 99% I won't take the hassle to look everyone's bazar to see if I can repair something and I bet I won't be the only one, so NOW if you don't know someone that has the proper DoH you'll be forced to grind it to resell your old gear (unless the "every class > every gear" thing happens... jeez what the hell did they smoke? >.>)

The point is that a repair system isn't a must have, ffxiv can go on and be successfull even without it, tho it can be helpfull, can serve as a good gil sink, a reasonable death penality and a good way to enhance players' interaction and crafters' role, but honestly after reading all these things i just see it as a pain in the ass.
