Request Repair!!! Please.

[SinisterIsBack]

Don't you have having to leave an instance so someone can repair? Ever thought to yourself, I wish I could repair them?

WELL LOOK NO FURTHER!!

With the all new Request Repair feature you will never have to leave again!!

SE, another idea courtesy of me!! Appreciate your time!

or how about a mender in the coil staging area?

or both?

We had the ability to repair other peoples gear during 1.0. That feature was removed in 2.0. Scientists are still trying to figure out why.

So long as they don't make us HAVE to ask someone else to repair gear and let us still use NPCs I have no problem with it. At the same time though it is kind of incentive to take our crafts to 40 so you can repair beyond the 100% condition thing.

I think its to try to make people level crafting since most people hate the materia melding frustration that crafting gives when trying to make higher level items... at least you can repair your own gear cheaper and beyond the 100% limit to make your gear last longer.

Because of the usual crew stating that FFXIV 1.x did nothing right. Know what else we could do? Switch classes in dungeons.

I do not want people switching classes in dungeons (Oh im your tank, and now ima troll as my brd)

But request repair would be awesome

Pretty much the stated reason. If they ever did allow class switching, it would have to require a vote from the other players.
There's just too much social BS that probably came up during testing that caused them to remove this option.
Also, I wager the mentality behind removing request repair is to ensure that self-repair is a perk for those who put in the time to level their crafts.
And really there's not much incentive to add it again, since any group that gets into the state that they'd NEED it can just pull out, repair, and re-enter.
So yeah it's not that it's a good or bad idea...just more effort at this point than would be worth exerting.

Says a lot about the playerbase this time around though..as that has never happened in the 1 1/2 years XIV went on with the end-game dungeons added.
