The repair cost is negligible. Finishing one pledge or one crafting daily recoups any loss.

This has got to be the funniest thing I've read today. Crafting dailies don't even pay for the cost of the materials it takes to do them, now on earth will they pay for repair costs?

Let's see...

I ran the veteran daily pledge today. I was rewarded (from turning in the pledge alone) with 604 gold. My repairs from the entire dungeon came to 150g. I made a 450g profit, without even counting dungeon loot or vendored stuff. I should add that each crafting daily pays the same amount of gold as the pledge.

You may notice I was referencing crafting dailies, not pledges. Pledges have decent rewards, crafting dailies do not. Generally speaking, you're better off selling the raw materials needed to complete a crafting daily than you are doing the daily. I can do crafting dailies for a week on only get small bits of gold, useless gear and repair kits. Or, I could sell the hundreds of raw materials I would use on the quests, and continue doing other stuff and end up with mountains more gold.

/sigh

If you read the post you responded to, it was with regards to repair costs. I didn't make any claims about the relative value (or lack thereof) of crafting dailies. That's got nothing to do with the thread.
