And no i don't want to start a duty by repairing the gear of my whole party (worst case example).
Also this could undermine the great perc of a leveled crafter to repair the own gear in dungeons and make it even more undesired to level a crafter themself.
nobody levels a crafter JUST for repairs.
I'm confident enough in the fact that the effort involved in leveling ANY crafting class to cap far outweighs any benefits that "oh.. forgot to fix my stuff" repairs give. All the examples you give for why you shouldn't EVER forget to repair and you then say it's a great perk?
For gods sake I have to REMIND HEALERS TO TAKE ESUNA, god forbid having a crafter leveled lets you do something you can reasonably refuse or ask for money to do and possibly save yourself and 2 other people from waiting in another 20 minute queue.

Refusing to do a dungeon until you get a repair that costs a crafter money is griefing. Votekicking someone who IN CHAT HAS STATED THEY WILL NOT RUN UNTIL THEY GET A FREE FIX is not griefing in any definable way.
