Not get rid of it, or make it insignificant, but you have to create a reason to people to want rare/ex, and I don't think letting rare/ex. be meldable will solve the issue, just make it worse.
how will it make it worse to make it meldable?

you basicaly make non melded UU gear better then crafted

then when they get melded they stay ahead of the game

sure you can make crafted gear cheaper then the time it takes to farm the UU gear, but at the same time.....the effort and cost it takes to go beyond slot(with tier 4 only materials) is so great that when people do it its rare and costly to them to the point where you gotta ask if you even wanna go that far to begin with.

so let them both be meldable, itl equal them out, the difference being you can replace 1 for extra tries if it fails with money/materials and the other you just have to go refarm(which can be annoying, but its the price you pay if you really want the gear to be "better" in that way)
