While I like the idea of a decently costly alternative means to melding, I think it's worth noting that if it's too expensive, it won't have the intended effect.

If it costs 50k to get a vendor to do it, people are almost always just going to find someone to do it for them. And if the NPC's going price is 50k, I think a lot of crafters are going to find it pretty easy to ask for a charge of 5k per meld, wouldn't you?

I think 5k is a decent point if they were to modify the system in such a way.
