Should you have to be wearing gear you attach to for Materia making?

[Peregrine]

I provide an alternative and practical idea that differs from anything else suggested and yet you say I'm trying to re-invent the wheel? You didn't even provide an idea for a system. You only stated that you wanted to be able to create an affinity with gear without having to wear it.

Listen to yourself. If, compared to not having to wear gear to attach to it, your system includes
Materia sidequests
Boss fights
Instances
Tiered difficulty fights
Infinite possibilities...

You already lost. Again, you're wasting everyone's time.

Your idea is an impractical mishmash of wasted development to achieve simple outcomes. Stop wasting the devs' time with a ten-point way to do what one tiny feature would accomplish simply because you don't like the person who proposed it. Uhduh. You're letting your affect lead you around, and it's making you propose terribly inefficient and bloated ideas.

Here's my "system" lol...
You can attach to one weapon, one tool, one accessory, and three gear at a time. They do need to be in your inventory, so you don't have to keep going back to NPC to change what you want to attach to.

Done. That's all there is. There is no more.
Keep your system. Learn to work smarter, not harder.

KISS

You don't even understand that materia is just a fringe. It's just something to give worth to undesired crafting product. That's it. It's not revolution. It's just a tiny aside. They don't have TIME to turn every molehill into a mountan here.

So stop trying to make one.
