Repair system discussion

[Alhanelem]

Well then there it is! the repair system is flawed

Uhm, no, it's not. Why should repairing have anything to do with the materia system?

repairing is relevant to all items other than underwear, whether they can be converted to materia or not.

I don't think you read that correctly. Guild leves give out plenty of gil and I never have a problem with the NPC repair hit,

Not everyone does guildleves all day. And in particular, I only do company leves right now for company seals. These leves give very little gil and NPC repairs would drain my coffers if I only used them. It's way cheaper to have a player do it. It can cost over 50k to NPC repair a full set of high level items. That's a lot unless you're a crafter selling multi-melded items for millions.
