What isn't fun is all the mandatory grind and RNG gil wasting associated with Overmelds and acquiring the materials in the first place.

Having to dump MILLIONS into some RNG black hole for INTERMEDIARY gear is utterly idiotic. The red script gear was supposed to be the casual alternative to get (you sacrifice uber highend stats for not having to overmeld) but the materials are so absurdly expensive and you need so many of them that it would cost just as much.

And it still doesn't address the problem that there is nothing interesting to craft once you get that gear.
Scrip gear is casual friendly. Retainers can be sent out to get enough mats for to craft for the weekly cap, also everything atm can be easily craft in i150 gear with cheap melds.
