For example, I have MRD at 50 and would really like to level THM. But to be an effective player, I need to level at least Blacksmith, Armorer and Miner to do materia for my MRD. Which doesn't help that I now need Goldsmith, Weaver, Miner and Botanist for THM. And even more so, now I can't level fishing and alchemy like I wanted to, because there's classes I have to level.

Guess I was just wondering if others felt the same way or if they're going to just hope others won't stiff them when attaching materia for them.

I really wouldn't worry about it if materia melding worked like repairs.
I see what you're saying about Materia crafting, but I think you're ignoring the community on that one. Do a shout for a crafter to help you attach/create materia and I think that solves your problem.

That said, it is a bit disconcerting to place trust in some random stranger with your valuables. Hopefully they'll make a system to where you can meld someone else's materia without actually removing it from their inventory, like how Repairing is.
