Before ARR (I think in 1.22 or something) they added the feature for other players to repair your gear (mats taken from the requesting player). Though repairing was much more expensive then than it is now (more expensive than 2.0 even). They haven't added it back since then - I'd be interested to learn why, from a design standpoint.

Yeah, it's one of those things where it's *inclusion* may be more realistic, but it's *execution* not so much.

Hello, I'm new to the world of RP. I've been thinking lately about the gear repair mechanic. One of the small things often brought up is that it adds realism. I figured that if that realism matters to anyone, it would be the RP community, so I thought it would be fun to ask on here: do you find that the repair mechanic helps you feel immersed in the game, or is it a minor chore for you (as most players describe it)? Thanks!
