Why would a BLM meld mind in gear? Does this game do a poor job in explaining stats?

270 shire, I saw this in an expert before reset today. The materia was mind V, +15

I honestly want to assume they were doing that just to screw with people. The easier it is to replace things like that, and the game just throws Vs at you now, the easier it is to sit around looking like a mess while having necessary stats when needed.
Though I'm probably giving too much credit.

body had 2 x Mind v materia, the feet had a crit V and mind V then a bunch of empty slots

In this case, does it really matter? I see a lot of people with nothing melded at all pretty often. Maybe he just wants slightly stronger physicks? lol

no but "I honestly want to assume they were doing that just to screw with people. "
I was implying I disagreed with that since they are tossing a crit V away when they go fix it, plus if it was "expensive trolling" they would did all slots?>.>

That's my thought too.

90% of people don't even have anything melded. Hell even I don't have some of my stuff melded yet (worry about that when I get 260 pieces). So what difference would this make?
