it's fine for when you want to make materia equipment to help you reach a goal, but that's how far it should go and not further.

the idea of materia at first was fine, and i was happy about it when i saw the news.
but then i saw people stack stats like crazy to go faster for that dungeon, or drop garuda in a matter of minutes.
i still have nightmares remembering the prices of intelligence materia when garuda was burnable by a group of BLMs that had enough accuracy and INT loaded on them.

that's one more reason i want SE to give a limit as to how high a player can actually stack one stat with materia alone.
Why should crafters have a glass ceiling for their work? The goal is to make exceptionally good gear. Without materia crafting becomes a lot less viable in making an economy and customizing builds for maximum effect.
