I feel the same way. The miss rate at this time isn't something to be up in arms about at this time, but there should be concern for the future about how S-E will be tuning accuracy requirements.

Also a lot of players need to realize that you don't need full melded accuracy to hit the necessary accuracy caps in all content. I recommend three types of materia melding that suits one's playstyle

1) Don't bother with Accuracy melds. For healers that just heal. Meld CRIT, PIE, DET, and SpS in comfortable levels that augment your healing. You'll probably feel it later if you're going to try to DPS, but it's something to consider for the pure-healer types.

2) You want to DPS consistently in casual content (EX dungeons / Midas normal). You'll probably want to meld approximately half your slots with Accuracy. No need for penta melded 220s, so don't break your bank over that. Midas / Lore 230-240s with 50% accuracy materia should be more than sufficient for current casual content.

3) You want to DPS consistently in hardcore content (Savage Midas / EX Trials). You'll probably want to meld EVERYTHING with T5 Accuracy and eat some HQ food to boot. Supposedly caster cap for A8S is in the 600+ range which is completely doable with full T5 Accuracy melds in i230/240 gear and food. Remember you get a free T5 outta Void Ark each week.

I feel the reason S-E went this route for healer DPS is to give healer's the option to choose how they wish to play their healer. You want to DPS more? Meld some Accuracy and eat some food and let it rock! Want to heal more than naught? Focus your melds on healing augmenting melds.

It's not perfect but I kinda feel that was their goal with this patch.
