[Dev 10xx] Please re-examine the return death penalty.

Isn't that the point of retainers? If you have all day to play you can afford to afk for lunch and let your gear get repaired. If you have only 2hrs to play you can put your gear in your retainer for the other 22hrs of the day, no?

Would it be harder to find a retainer repair in the 20 zones we have now? Also Fills the Wards up.

I don't have a retainer; all of my spots are taken up by characters. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad method if retainers and characters did not share account slots, but I don't think it's such a good idea to balance a system around things that do not come basic with the game (such as retainers).

I don't know so much about automatic repair management, it starts to cross the line of "why not just make everything automatic". I'd be more in favor of an NPC or something that you trade your damaged gear too with a price on it and as DoH talk to the NPC, it doles out gear to them to be repaired (kinda like leves). If you're a rank 20 TAN you'll be offered stuff you can repair as it comes into the NPC. It would work kinda like how laundramats work in rl haha. Stop in town, drop your gear off at the NPC and come back later before you leave to pick up your repaired gear :P

I don't think we should take away yet another use for the crafting classes =|

What are you even talking about?

[Akashi]

Don't you still have to buy a retainer slot via the account management service, and retainers still share those slots with character slots?

Not that I know of? I just talked to the NPC in Ul'dah and she was like "HOW U LYK DIS ONEEE???"

[Galka75]

It's fine right now. No want broke your equip? Play better. Already play good? Play better. Still die. Look for a firend and ask for raise. Even PAY for a raise. Meaby will he more cheap. Idk

Well. And farm to pay the repairs .

[akisato]

I thinks it so silly to think the DP as it is needs be changed just because ppl dont want to rank crafts, spend money, or make friends. Since my friends quit i have been soloing the game and accepted that if im gonna solo i got to do what i need to do to keep myself playing.

[Sagagemini]

I don't really like the repair system, but i've learned to accept it.
And I'd rather lose durability than losing SP.
