I see that the new goldsmith recipes are taking this approach as well, quality over quantity.
It's just too powerful, is all. That's what I mean. People are supposed to make great gear by melding those materia together on gear now, if you pull it outside of that, they will say it's unbalanced and too easy in that regard.

Edit: Also, as far as we are aware, we cannot and will not be able to meld materia on to accessories, so they need to be of good quality to begin with in that regard.
