    Melding gear ? Why do we need to change job if we got it level up? 2 Add the slots?

    I see no point at all to change your job to meld a item. Once you got the said job level up you should be able to meld the item on any job? unless there is some secret way and got a secret meld item!? . That is not release then there is, no reason on god green earth or a primal green earth to slow the progress down and it annoying. If they like to get creative just have a cross job ability trait or hot key ability for all jobs. Or just let people meld stuff easy. It stupid going from weaver to add some melds then to gold , the to arm , then to leather, then to bsm.

    The devs asked what people thought about this in a poll and by some sheer mass lunacy people decided they didn't want this in likely for immersion's sake.

    Which is a shame as it makes melds as well as repairs really cumbersome. It used to be even worse too so I have no idea what happened.

    Lunacy is about the only thing I can think of. I mean the game obviously knows what your level is for repairing/melding purposes, but it won't let you repair/meld even when you clearly have the ability to do it without changing class first.

    Yeah and while your at it why can't i mine and botany at same time i mean i have them both at max level.

    Also why should i have to change to SCH on my WHM when they are both at max level, let me use all the skills from each class.

    kinda agree with him there that is retarded u should be able to meld once u have cleared the melding requirements of getting the job up to 50 without switchn classes it is quite annoying going from 1 class to another to just to meld

    I think its a programming thing
    Like a certain gear (that was crafted by let just say class ID #1) can only be melded when equipping the said class ID
    Another example maybe is that you cant open a word processing file in a spread sheet programs
    Im not a programmer so I dont know whether i worded it right

    A solution for this is perhaps an in game traits, a master crafter maybe, that when acquired allow you to access all class ID specific action (minus the crafting, since it need you to equip the tool, having a certain gear set for you etc etc) like repair and meld from any class
