Dev Response Please - ilv90 Conversion Change

[Hashirama]

I'm asking a dev to reply in this thread. Please explain to me since I'm having a hard time understanding why it is that "You People" feel like there was a need to change the conversion rate for Materia IV's from ilv90 gear.

1. The conversion rate for ilv55 Gear to Materia IV's is low (which seems right since its ilv55)
   
2. The materials needed to make ilv70 spirit bonding sets cost about 130,000 company seals I think (The jump in materials is a bit of a kick in the nutsack imo, and not worth the time)

That leaves us with crafted ilv90 sets to spirit bond with, since you a$@hats wont let us convert dungeon gear.
THE PAYOFF TO MAKING iLV90 GEAR AND GETTING A GROUP TO BOND IT IN COIL "WAS" THAT IT ALWAYS GAVE MATERIA IV'S.

If we didn't get something we needed, no problem, we could transmute them and have a second chance. Well now we only have a 1/18 chance it will be a IV and a whopping 1/36 chance it will be one of the IV's we need.

I have now bonded 2 full (11 piece) sets. First set 7 were III's, 4 were IV's and only 1 was a materia I could use. The second set yielded 8 III's, 3 IV's and none were useful. I just cant understand why this needed to be touched. I need a reason from someone at square, not another player. As someone trying to grind out materia for my weapon I'm pretty upset.
