Why No Melds?

IV's are free and so easy to get that any reason you can come up with for not using them just seems like an excuse to be lazy. Just try saying it out loud:

"Nope, I'm going to turn down a free upgrade to character strength that only requires a few minutes of my time every few months"

That's what most of the people in this thread sound like to me.

Maybe once upon a time when you could only get good materia through extensive spiritbonding and praying to the RNG gods would not melding make sense, but at this point in the game where IV's are so easy to get that SE may as well cut out the middleman and mail you some once a day I can't fathom why anyone would refuse to at least use them on their main character and class.

I only TODAY learned u can get free g4 materia from beastmen tribes. (I have rep in 3.0 beastmen tribes, and ixali only)
So its going to take a lot longer than what u suggest, for someone like me. (plus most of the people I know dont know this, nor have any rep yet in beastmen tribes)

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

You make it sound as if we are not getting the materia.
That is not the case.
Close to everyone who responded to this thread who does not/only selectively meld materia said they do not MELD it.
Not one word about not GETTING it in the first place.
We just choose to sell it instead, to spend the money on things that are more worthwhile to us
