Repair NPCs in Dungeons

[_slowpoke_]

Why must it be like that though? Just because?

Because, again, it's a good reason to level crafters, and makes them relevant beyond just crafting gear and consumables.

I can think of no good reason to have it that way than just to annoy players.

Just because you are annoyed by crafting doesn't mean others are, and those who have invested in leveling their crafters get to enjoy the benefits. If you don't want to level crafters, then better learn to watch your durability more closely. It's not like this is 1.x where you needed crafters to repair your gear.

Actually, I have never in my playing this game for almost 3 years have had this problem.

Good for you. I have had this problem, so it exists.

I do realize that is the purpose, and I still see it as redundant to do what you're asking. The "unnecessary and purposeless inconvenience" can be said about durability in general though. It doesn't matter what your last MMO was, that's not how it is here

It's not redundant.

Repair NPCs outside dungeons remove gil from the economy.

Repair NPCs inside dungeons would remove gil from the economy.

The purpose of durability is to remove gil from the economy.

Therefore, like the already existing NPCs outside of dungeons, NPCs inside dungeons would also fulfill this purpose. It's not complicated.

And it does matter actually. I am making a suggestion based on something I believe the previous MMO I played did right and would like for it to be applied here as well.

Unless suggestions are unwanted and emulating success is a bad thing?

I stress this again. Not everyone enjoys crafting. I do not. I should not have to craft and cram my inventory further in order to afford to be forgetful just because crafting benefits.

This "benefit" that crafting has is simply a partial lack of a detriment that other players have to suffer.

You only need the appropriate crafters to lv50, and need one inventory slot for a stack of Grade 6 Darkmatter.

There is no inventory concern, and leveling a crafter to 50 doesn't take a ton of time, especially compared to the convenience you get being able to repair up to 199% whenever you see your gear go below 100% (which also gives a ton of extra time to notice its breaking).

Still doesn't answer why giving people who don't enjoy crafting this option is a bad thing.

The way this thread seems to be is that since X MMO does it a certain way this game should to cause all MMOs should work the same way. If you don't want to level any crafting jobs maybe be more mindful of your gear durability.

I'm quite mindful already. However, I am human, and still forget sometimes.

The last MMO I played did something convenient for players that hurt no one's play experience and gave no one an advantage of any kind over anyone else as everyone could utilize the feature, what's not to like about it?

I'm asking for a very simple QoL feature that everyone could benefit from and you'd think I was asking for a complete game redesign judging by the shooting down of the idea -_-

Because, again, it is, in this game, a feature exclusive to crafters, and again, if you don't want to bother leveling them, then you don't get to use it. It's not hard to understand.

So? Get it to 50 and toss the tools away.


How many people complain about running Experts for tomes, yet still do them despite all the other ways of capping for the week?

Still doesn't answer anything :/

Crafters would benefit from this too you know. Some people deem an inventory slot more valuable than 2k gil or whatever the cost of your repair would be. If you happen to not have any darkmatter with you but forget to repair, there you go as well.

Dungeons are not where people go when they have "crafter advantages" in mind.
