new melding system. more casual? no thanks!

People with blind dumb luck at getting all the best gear of course are going to be mad.. OH NO!! you might actually have to play better/harder to get the great gear this time around. And like some people already stated.. just go for quad and penta melds. I'd rather see gear like the god drops from XI and NM HNM drops being the more "special" gear than gear you make, sitting on your ass alone in town, making. But I'm sure there will be some balancing of these aspects that we dont fully see/understand yet till we see it for ourselves. STOP SPECULATING AND WAIT FOR BETA/OFFICAL RELEASE.

You hit the nail on the head, meld is a good way to get good gear yes and to make gil, well in XIV 1.0... but yes GOD gear and other gear like SEA and NYZUL ISLE + end game fun period is the reason im here..And i know SE will bring it at some point, Expansion, and or Update.... now that you mention it melding has to SE's answer to the casual plays beef of not being able to get good gear bc they dont play much,... i find it funny that i could buy a sword on xiv 1.0 with melds that would make a primal weapon i worked a month to get look like a damn lvl 1 onion sword...
