Repairing Repairs

It's not about the branches man..

There "Solution" is causing more problems than its fixing.. Dev 101 Don't break more thing when you add something new.

This is,

Destabilizing an already unstable economy

Hurting the Gathering Classes which they openly have no intention of supporting for a long time

Breaking Lore in dozens of ways

Tearing one of the few aspects of crafting out of the game

And, once again, dumbing things down

Again have you forgotten that both crafters and gatherers will play a new HUGE role in the economy once the materia system is released? Gatherers harvest the catalysts and Crafters set materia into equipment. Materia is going to be a huge part of the game and both gatherers and crafters have extremely integral parts in it. Time to stop looking at the immediate future and take a look at the bigger picture for once!

Gatherers are going to gather the catalysts mats. No matter how many times SE says it that is not a huge role.

Except it is. Just because you don't want to acknowledge it doesn't mean it's untrue. People are going to be in a constant cycle of wearing down gear and breaking it down into materia to slot into better gear (which they will later wear down and break down into materia). You think the catalyst used to bind materia to gear isn't going to be an item with an astronomically high demand? Everyone is going to need it. All level ranges, all classes, everyone. Gatherers are the only ones who can supply it. How do you not get that?

Not as huge as gathering those branches, anyway.
