    Just remove repairing all together. It's stupid, annoying, and a waste of time. It isn't even expensive to repair. If you find yourself needing to repair all the time too, you need to probably find yourself a better group so you stop dying so much (obviously different with weps of course). Yes, if you haven't noticed, I just really hate repairing lol.

    I prefer repairing over the more common methods in an MMO aka bind on equip gear for crafted stuff. it's nice to know that if I repair something to 100% I'm free to either sell it to someone or give it to someone else that may want to use it. Sure maybe I could just turn it into materia, but if I'm not interested in materia at least I have the option to let someone use the piece of equipment I may no longer need.

    I'm not asking for another method, I'm asking for them to get rid of it completely lol. It's just a bad mechanic, sure it makes sense to have it, but it is just dumb.

    I'm sure people will find reasons to argue, because that is how the human race is, people like to argue, but it really is just an annoying feature to deal with.

    Here's a thought for SE, not sure if anyone else suggested it yet: A toolbelt for one of the unused inventory slots that can be used for cross-class repairs. Make it hold "charges" that can be refilled with dark matter at a NPC. It could be a great money sink too (I love my money too but there's not much to spend it on); Who wouldn't buy a U/U cross-class repairing tool from a NPC?

    Although yes you can use NPC repair for everyday fixes, most of the time I repair myself or put in repair request bazaar so I can resell it. Would really love cross-class repairing because it's a real pain to switch classes out in the field and have all your skills go on cooldown.

    pretty cool idea but I think there is plenty of stuff to spend gil on, gear, food, materia, airships, npc repair, craft buffs, resources and even ayther passes if you dont want to use seals

    leave repairing as it is. Really if you need to repair ur gear do it after the party is over or take a break. Also if you need to repair gear that much, it would seem that the party or whatever you are doing needs to be more careful. I can understand the cool downs but you really need not be changing class or job or what not while you are waiting for respawns.

    I think its fair to say the majority of the people who have tried Garuda have had their asses handed to them, now there is no BLM burn everyones going to be in that boat also.

    It's not that we "are doing it wrong" its that we are learning the mechanics of the fight.

    Please no, self repairing is an important way to exp and not face the abismal fail rate of crafting in general, a tool tab would be the way to go since a belt/sash etc should be able to hold something like that.

    Lame excuse, if you are having an "abysmal" fail rate then you are crafting wrong, or just spamming standard synth thinking that is the only way to do it. The exp is understandable.... maybe, but still doesn't merit that having to repair is worth it.
