Is there a conspiracy for lvl capped players to ignore materia?

Is that really so strange?
Even in dungeons as a tank I'll peek at the healer and as a healer I'll peek at the tank so I know if we'll be going full throttle or not.

Nope. Pull first ask questions later.

Doesn't matter how good, or even adequate, someone's gear is if they still don't understand what their buttons do. For example, checking the tank's gear at the beginning doesn't let you know they aren't going to use any defensive cooldowns, or their invuln, or don't know that Reprisal and Arm's Length can be used as defensives on big pulls.
