Bayohne....Thank you for this post. The proposed changes for patch 1.19 entail long overdo adjustments to repairs performed by NPCs. This will allow casual players and low level parties greater flexability in their leveling. There will . of course, still be a need for higher level crafters to help repair gear for end game parties that will be spending a larger amount of time away from the nodes on raids and high end mobs. The proposed changes for 1.20 cover this nicely.
