Why remove it?
Yeah Swords, Axes, Archery, Unarmed weren't working, but all the other skills were.

Now normal players cannot repair their items themselves. They have to rely on a donator or a helper to be online AND willing to repair items for them.

Your new repair method? Put item in crafting table and appropriate materials? Doesn't twerk.

Oh just ask someone to repair your stuff? What if they're not online? Willing? Free?
I am at the mercy of others when it comes to repairing my damage items.
With mcMMO's repair skill, at least I was able to repair my unenchanted items freely and willingly.

One of the reasons I got the Digger job was also due in part to mcMMo excavation skill.
Now that is gone, the job seems less than appealing to me.

If you cannot understand the problem then save every ones time and don't bother replying with half-baked replies.
