Idea for Dark Matter

[lackofwords]

I'll echo the sentiment that it would be pointless to have any grades of dark-matter if the highest tier could fix everything anyways.

It's not like it's harder or much more expensive to aquire anyways.

You might say that 4.5k (grade 5) is a drop in a bucket in terms of the gil we have. However, overtime the cost piles up. Think of it as as a maintenance fee. I currently have 12 equipment items on usually for each of my classes, which needs repairing almost every other day. Would you rather pay 51000gil (4500 x 12) every other day, or 18000 (1500 x 12)?

For those people that are r50, the income they are getting in is enough to support the cost of repairs, but for someone that is r20 or even worst case scenario starting out new in the game, paying 51k to repair all their crap is detrimental.

@OP
I don't mind if the Dark Matter of higher ranks support lower ranks as well. If the people want to waste their gil and be less efficient with their gil, then let them do so. However, from other people's reply making only 1 Dark Matter with only 1 set price would screw all the lower players over, and only serves to cut prices for higher ranked players.
