new crafted gear useless for raid and so is materia V?

[Whiteroom]

so just wondering about the thought process that SE decided to delay, but eventually when we get the crafted gear its useless for Savage/Progression, as well as the dificulty to obtain Level V Materia.

Yoshi stated awhile back that crafted gear was too OP, and allowed people to clear the content far faster than they intended. He stated that they wont be making it like that again. Its been brought up in the dozens of other threads about the crafted gear. The less demand for gil buying is a happy bonus.
