I know I always heavily appreciate the engineers that drop bots down for the raid to repair, but I never rely on them. In Azeroth, there's a larger problem with repairs for instances, which is one thing that I think was at least worked on for TBC. Just about all of the TBC instances are near to someplace that can repair, even if it requires you to faction grind at first (like the guy outside SSC). I remember having to race from ZG to a repair vendor when the guy who made our bots for our runs wasn't on one night. It took forever for the raid to get back moving and killing. Pretty much, if there's no place nearby to repair, and I'm in the red on my armor, I'll beg for a 5 minute break, hearth, repair, and start running back. Granted, the ideal is to be summoned back with a summoning stone, but that's not always easy. I just realized how spoiled I am with the Outlands instances and their repair places all over the landscape! Repairs are always tricky.

When repair bots were added to the game it was a wonderful thing mainly focused on 40 man raids and less on 5 man groups. I hope the cost reduction makes them more viable for 5 mans now. Another thing that makes them cheaper now is that Fused Wiring can be made and doesn't have to be farmed in Gnomer. Also some instances have repair venders (Karazahn, Gnomer and I think the Library in Dire Maul all have one). Anyway, good blog I am throughly enjoying it since I haven't been a WoW Noobie since Nov 2004.
