Why do so many people keep indicating this is going to be the case in ARR and focusing on it like it's the end of the world just because the meld request system was limited in 1.x? Did I miss a memo? I mean, yeah, it's possible they go this route because it would keep the materia turnover rate even higher (helping create more constant demand) and if useful materia are more plentiful then all the more reason for SE to take this route (in pursuit of a less spikey [cheaper] and more consistent circulation of assets in the overall market), but it could also be extremely frustrating for players without appropriate crafting classes leveled who would then feel forced to spend days leveling their own crafts that they didn't care about to begin with. I think this is a molehill being made into a mountain, but I guess we'll see.

If you read the end of that paragraph, you should have also seen I said "but I feel that these are also systems that could be fixed with the more flexible server structure and other big changes we're expecting." I'm not saying that just because something was an issue in 1.xx that it will automatically be an issue in 2.0. I do however think that, until it has been stated as a planned change in the future, it should not be assumed that it will be any different either. Assumptions get us and SE into big trouble.

We have to wait and see and deal with what information we can get when we get it. From the information we have, we know that BoU is planned but we don't know that extended melding requests are planned (unless I've missed that somewhere but I don't think so) so I can really only work with weaving the BoU news into my old melding request information (again, until we receive new information).

There's no need to jump on me for it and no mountain was made. I expressed personal opinions on what little information has been given and I believe that entire post was perfectly reasonable. I personally don't like BoU but I'm willing to accept it, more so if they fix the problems around it as were previously listed. What is wrong with that?

Sheesh, people are so eager to call everything a huge deal when it's just a personal opinion, which we all have the right to have and share...

I didn't intend to jump on you about it, sorry. I was talking more in general because this thread and the others about this topic have had multiple posts flailing irrationally about this particular issue, in contrast to your much more measured approach.

I'm sorry too, for kind of jumping on you. It's been a long sleepless night so I wasn't in the best of moods when I wrote that.


Edit: Just to be clear, that isn't an excuse, just an explanation. Again, I'm sorry.
