Materia Changes in 3.2:

[Magis]

I'm just worried this game will turn into.

1. To raid you need to buy from Gil Sellers or be rich or lucky.
2. To do anything you need a certain gear type which makes it harder to get new people into raiding.

1. As a person who got all Savage Aim/Might IV for their Relic, why they hell would it turn people to do any of those things? Heck until HW that was the norm. There would be spiritbind parties like there were back then. If you resort to gil buying you should have your account ban hammered so hard.

2. That's how most MMOs work? Gear is a relevant feature of the progression.
