    It's bad for the economy actually.
    You can easily make gear, and instant bind them, then convert to materia. So melding will be very easy and convenient to do. Before you needed to grind a lot to bind gear.
    Then again i don't think you'll bind an item on 1 kill.

    ??? Gear bind and Spirit Bond is two different things. You will still need to reach 100% spirit bond before you can convert to materia.

    Yes i was talking about spiritbond, i was just not thinking clearly I was thinking that 1 spirit bond would make it 100% right away. But for it to get bound to char after 1 spirit is kinda dumb anyways, for the many reasons, like people stated.
    But i understand it's to flush out items from being rotated forever on market; or items would become so underpriced, it would be better to just NPC them. But on the other hand this might keep items overpriced instead, which would make it hard for new players to get anything; they'd need to rely on getting items from quests, or just crafting themselves, which not everyone want to do. Especially on low population servers, where it was hard to find anything even in 1.0, and everything was very overpriced there already, without having items flushed out by bind on kill.

    There's nothing in the post to indicate that once an item is bound to your character it is suddenly eligible to be converted to materia.

    I imagine the grind to spirit bind will still exist. And you can still make multiple melded items for trade, you just no longer have the luxury of using them yourself before you sell it.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this at the moment. I kind of agree that it will greatly depend on what other changes to materia there are.
