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

[Airlea]

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.

You're wrong. I'm right. Simple as that.

You still haven't proposed your own solution. Simply saying "you carry it around with you," isn't a system. What then? We kill 300 mobs while carrying it in our inventory? Certainly you do realize there are inventory issues already. Do we need to use a certain WS a certain number of times? Should it be tied to how many BRs we use instead? A mix of both? Do we lose our points if we change our mind and switch what we're creating an affinity with? What about people with alts? Will they be able to load up what they want on an alt and go powerlevel for materia the way they do for SP now? What would you incorporate to prevent this? You are, after all, one of the more vocal players against cheating. Certainly you wouldn't implement a system that would cater to this type of behavior.

You want to call people out all the time. If you can't handle their responses, you need to stop this nonsense. YOU provide a practical system. No shying away from it. I could say "you have to wear it. Done. That's all there is. There is no more." That's still not a system. That's saying "I'm pulling this all out of my donkey."

Also, explain to me why the developers can't implement my system. You stated that you could, but there is absolutely no grounds for this. They could. That doesn't mean that they will, but it's absolutely ridiculous to declare they are incapable. It's a bit more complex than some ideas, and much simpler than others, but that doesn't mean that they can't.

I'm winning.
