What I meant is that people are less willing to risk thier HQ gear when it could become some useless materia, I made a brass ring+1 (obvious DoW gear albiet low level) and it became a mind materia 1, so it then became useless to my DoW, now if that was a rank 50 +3 piece of gear, that is worth over 3 mil, it just wouldnt be worth the risk.
