Do you shame people for their choice of materia melds?

No, you don't need it - but it's good to have. Like how BRDs melds are crit > dh > det. If you're maxed on crit, you go to dh - that's how you make the most out of your melds. if I see a MCH/BRD with sks - I'm going to laugh but I'm not going to say anything, just going to OOOF because that doesn't seem comfy with that clipping. If you're not raiding, crafting/gathering end game then you don't need to meld and no one expects your gear to be melded. If you are raiding people expect you to have the most beneficial melds in your gear. What's so difficult to comprehend. Also, lol, tenacity is a good to have for tanks who are progressing in raid, most like to have sks, dh, det and then tenacity, however, and people who meld this also clear without a problem - first week.

People have cleared without overmelds, and the basic of melds in place. Skill beats melds.

I bet my Tank with 3000+ tenacity can beat your DH tank on a DPS race xD How about E4N? Surely someone who brags about skill should find E4N easy enough. Just whisper me ingame so we can party up with 6 randoms. If E4N is too hard for you you we can do E1-E3N instead.
