Repair NPCs Do Not Charge Enough

[Irondude]

the price is so low it might as well cost nothing. Why would anyone ever repair someones gear for under 5k? It's just a waste of time. I know that you still need actual people to repair gear up to 100% before you can trade it, but that simple is not enough business to keep someone trying to do repairs all day for people. Gear repair should scale with gear level like everything else.... I think it does that now actually. It just has the max too low to even be noticeable.

Is it posted somewhere the logic of why we can not trade gear unless it is at 100%. I can't think of why this is needed. I'm sure its been over posted 100 times. this subject has to be pretty common.

------------------------------------------------------
10~ = 2k max
20~ = 5k max
30~ = 10k max
40~ = 15k max
RARE/EX = 25k max

I hate gear repair. I hate that I can't trade damaged gear. older stuff that I want to pass down to my mule that costs 2k on market, i could buy for 4k, or have osmoen repair it for 5k. The whole hand-me-down process was important and a key thing in ffxi, and they've made it a giant pain in the ass for ffxiv. I hope it goes away. Pocket Hockey is a 50CNJ, but Dong Pong is a 32THM. Why the hell can't I just trade the gear over without first paying a fortune to someone to repair it. And I can't even use the npc, I have to get it done by a player.

Needing gear repaired was extremely annoying. It was very difficult to find someone to repair it. The new team is smart enough to realize the system was poor.

I think the current system is a good compromise. It is no longer a hassle to repair your gear for use, but if it is important enough, you'll either need a high craft or pay for someone to fix it when/if you wish to resell it.

so the general consensus is the repair system sucks. Why add dark matter? Why not just eliminate it?

Because they (SE) still feel crafts are supposed to be "real" classes. Once they kick that stupid mentality, the system will be removed. I hope.

No thats not the general anything. The system USE to suck. Now its 100% fine. Gear des not degrade every 5 secs and repairs are cheap. Each and every system should be in the game for a purpose and this systems purpose is to make crafts useful and to make people not want to die. It serves its purpose so we can move on.

OHHHHHH yeah death. Completely forgot about that. That mucks it up a bit. I guess the system is here to stay. It would be nice to have some added benefit from a user repairing your gear though. add a carrot not a stick

Well i agree with this. Real craft jobs should be able to repair gear to 150%. that be cool and it would give players a reason to look for craft jobs. Also you could sell your gear at 100% and above.

i will never look for players as the system is and crafters do not look in the menders ward a lot now because repairs are so cheap. If we want to make crafters useful again for repairs they should add this IMO.
