I have same opinion as Gyson repair should be hanged as i love to collect items and use them even items if ihave better ones if i acquired them in a special way (quest reward crafted and so on) and when i found that when you repair item its durability is going down I just was hart broken as i didn't wanted to destroy the weapon i had.

Don't know if someone suggested this because there is loads to read here but I think repair should work in a way that you need specific materials to repair it for example:

To repair Armour (depending on what type it is and what it is made out of) you will need Iron leather
To repair Weapons (depending on what type it is and what it is made out of) you will need Iron Steel


I also like the idea that the repair hammer durability will go down as well as the idea of the hammer have certain chance to repair the item and when its feils it can actually damage it and combined with it i think there coud be different qualities of repair hamer which will give you higher chance to repair item.

This will work that the repair hamer repair chance (depending on its quality) + repair level (which will add for example on level 1 5% level 2 10% and so on) will determine if you repered it successfully or feild
