Tank BIS is crafted acc's, that's a problem.

[The_Last_Dragoon]

Tank scaling is really really bad on accessories, 1 str to every 10 ilvls. Something needs to be done about it because it is costing millions and millions of gil to get tanks bis when every other class gets to just go for raid and tome gear.
I know se didn't want to give tanks any scaling on right side but having us scale like this means we are back to gordias where tanks have to overmeld crafted.
If this doesn't change we will be forced to pentameld accessories all expansion and as someone with alts, it's really expensive.
Please se look at what's going on because in no world should crafted eclipse the raid and tome gear the way it does for tanks right now.

This problem is mainly being caused because of how weak the Tenacity stat is right now and because of the fact that raising Direct Hit via melds is so effective. Most of these problems will probably be addressed in 3.1 when they roll out the new gear since that's where the problem is coming from. Though, this is great for the Goldsmiths right now because they probably won't be able to take advantage of the market like this for the rest of this expansion. It's not like they get to make high priced glamour gear like Weaver, Leatherworker, and Blacksmith. In terms of the melding, Mirch is right in that you can very easily get VI materia from the roulette since it's not a daily bonus and tanks are more than likely the adventurer in need.

It's the fact that only tanks have to get pentamelded accessories if they want the best gear. Not only that but it also makes savage fending accessories virtually dead drops for personal and group gear progression.

Savage drops tokens, so you wouldn't ever get "dead" drops in a savage duty, I think you're talking about extreme primals since they actually drop non-token based loot. Also, the OP was complaining about gil problems due to the need to penta-meld their crafted tank accessories in order to have max dps.
