So this then becomes an issue of player awareness players don't know they can meld there stuff with absolutely zero cost or zero potential loss.
Yeah that's why I'm confused. T6 materia are dirt cheap and you can just keep recycling them. Getting one T7 DH materia will pay for an entire suite of T6 materia. I'm not saying overmeld your level 75 crafted gear, but the "NO MATERIA AT ALL EVER!" crowd just comes off as... not even selfish, but overtly spiteful. Like they're harming themselves more than anyone, but they're still bringing down their party. Utterly confounding.
