I'll be honest, I hate the Durability/Repair System

  I never use Edern/Effie/berched for my repairs, their repair rates are a lie.

  
  
  Edern seems good, but I can understand Effie, she fails a lot on my stuff... I haven't gotten any failures with Art on instruments, though.
  Also I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like the blacksmith in Cobh and Tara Stonehenge rarely/never fail... Nicca seems pretty decent too.
  
  Nerys is the one to watch out for... I have experienced so many failures in the few times I've used her. D:
  
  
  PS: I do hate the durability system as well, but I know a lot of people also would want to keep it because of the gold sink factor... Well, it would be nice if they at least let broken items be equippable and maybe just disable/penalize their stats?

  I wouldn't mind it, if enchanting/repair fees weren't such bull shit.
  
  
  Rank 1 Enchanter: I'll just toss this rank F enchant on this dagger I picked up for the lulz. *HUGE FAILURE! -x dura* . . .Ooookay... Once more-*HUGE FAILURE! -x dura* . . .
  
  I mean, really...why can enchanting even do that at higher ranks? I know the scenario was a tad out there but you get the picture. Some people already pay out the ass to get anything rank 6+ on their stuff, god forbid if it needs steps. Then half of those enchants up the repair cost out the fucking window.
  
  Npc: You don't have 75k to repair that one point.
  Player: Damn it, gota bank. *a while later* Alright.
  Npc: OOPS I BROKE A POINT AT 98%! Better bless it again cus I somehow washed the fucking holy water off with my failure!
  Player: . . . Now I need to ptj again or buy some more because that was my last one. =_= You made me fucking bank for this... Now it's 8/8 dura..God damn it. I spent over a mill on this and it's not even been a full month! I hate this RNG!
  
  That's kinda out there too (maybe not?) but you get the picture again.
  
  
  Fix repair rates, make it so after a fail, you have 100% on the next 0-3 points at that NPC on that weapon/armor/shield. (Depending on the npc for how many?)
  
  A 100% repair option/new npc for each weapon type, maybe in Avon or something (just to also bump that place up on the list of things and to give new players a reason to work their butts off to get that far in the story/ask friends to take them there.) for 45-65% more cost than the 98% repair Npc's. Cut the bull shit with enchanting too so it doesn't kill your weapon/dura when you do almost anything. That skill and system needs a revamp anyway.

  Maybe this is just some pent up rage, but I'm getting tired of spending around 10 dollars weekly/bi-weekly just to protect a single point of durability on my weapons, and I'm pretty sure everyone else is too.
  
  Can we please have tradeable Platinum hammers in the cash shop for like 3~4k NX or a NPC with 100% repair rate for a increased amount of gold?

  
  
  
  Yeah, I hate dura too, this would be cool, or just remove durability, I bet that would attract more players.
