even when you can get t5 materia free. the 150k is more valuable to you than a melded piece of junk

its the same reason people don't really look at stats and just go for the highest ilevel piece. because its just temporary anyway and once again it's 30-40 ilevels above virtually all content it really doesn't matter if the stats aren't optimal.....

it's been said a lot by a lot of players that if gear actually felt valuable people would actually be a lot more willing to invest in it....
if the rewards from savage content actually had any value then more people would try savage.. where again it's been said so many times. why bother with savage when the rewards are just gonna be junk or there'll be easier alternatives. maybe not quite as good secondaries but goes back to the first point of who cares....

all reasons why people don't bother melding stuff.
say whaaa? it is 30k-50k here...
is your economy just hugely inflated?
Only thing I seen 150k recently is spiked elemental materia

My friend has 2 jobs of pure V materia
