Ok, pet peeve of mine that has now gone on long enough that I feel the need to join everyone else on their whinging festival and post on the forums.

I have leveled all of the crafts except cooking to 40. I have done so because I feel useful when I can craft, meld or repair things for others.

Every time I'm at a camp, or outside a dungeon, or in a city, or freaking anywhere, I check people who have the repair icon up. I do not do this for the small amount of gil that is offered. I do this because it sucks to have damaged gear and I like to help.

So far, 8 times out of 10 when I change classes to perform a repair for someone, they don't have the dark matter necessary for the repairs.

WHY? Why do you have all of your gear up for repair, but NO FREAKING DARK MATTER????

Please, for the love of all things holy, tell me why?
