Please let us socket materia without crafting

No level a crafter if you want to do it yourself. Maybe you want to be able to craft the items too without leveling a crafter because it's so tedious to have to do that. Sorry but crafters can't do raids without leveling a war/magic class and those who don't want to level the crafters shouldn't be able to meld. It's fine just the way it is.

While we're at it, can I have gear from midas savage by just leveling up my botanist ? It's fairly tedious that I have to level up battle classes in order to get loot from there.

This. No. Level it or ask for help.
