But again, that would defeat the purpose of materia. Which is to not only provide crafting classes an extra activity to keep them relevant to other players, but also to REMOVE GEAR FROM CIRCULATION by turning it into materia. If only crafters can make materia, why would other players not just hold onto the gear they have forever?
