materia and combat classes.

[Physic]

what i mean is the only people who nead to really "waste" anything are the combat classes, they must have their gear "consumed" (aka: it goes away) to do our part of the system. Crafters equip it (loose nothing) gathers get them from mining or w/e (loose nothing).

i think the only reason it goes away is because they cant come up with a way of making the gear show its been used (maybe a coding thing?)

most people would love to give up their old items to get new power in their higher ranked items.
