Future Endgame gear vs crafted gear with Materia.

[Felis]

Hmm, very long discussion here.
Easy solution: SE can bring dungeon gear that is similiar to tripple materia gear with a lower droprate than the current AV+CC gear known as darklight gear (bette gear = lower droprate). Hmm, say 0,05%

Hardcore players keep their reward if they are hardcore enough, content don't get outdated too fast and crafters can still sell their stuff.
