If I took those repairs to a player, i'd keep a lot more of the gil I obtained. You're wasting as much as 20-30% of your leve income on repairs. That's honestly a pretty high percentage, considering it's basically a tax. Instead of flushing that gil down the drain, when players repair your gear they get the gil and you saved a lot of it.

The repair system is not broken.
Have you actually done low level guild leves at higher levels? The durability decrease doesn't even match that of a fight with something your level because 1 to 4 hits the mobs die. I'm also assuming you have a player on call 24/7 to repair your items at will whenever it's time for you to repair your items? also 20 - 30% is not even near the accurate margin try 10 to 15% of 700k I've never felt the pain of having to repair at an NPC. We can also argue that your probably a crafter who makes his gil repairing if so your just fighting this topic to keep your business you don't care whether there's an optimal way or not.
