MELDING ALGORITHM BUG

[Rykan]

I don't even know where to start....just wait 'til you guys hear this one lol -It's one of those things that gets you so upset you just laugh in an attempt to keep yourself from doing something awful.

On 12/24/13 (yes, Christmas Eve and for a friend), at approximately 5:00PM CST, I attempted to meld a Savage Aim IV to a double-slotted HQ Vanya Robe. The success rate was 29% since it was the first forbidden slot on the piece of gear...and it did not go well to say the least. Long story short, I was never able to complete the meld.

This 29% forbidden slot ate up TWENTY FOUR Savage Aim IV materia before I finally couldn't stand to watch anymore. It is clear that some kind of glitch occurred, either from me continually attempting without waiting a moment for the program to register the previous attempts or due to some kind of issue going on at the time.

I don't know enough about software to explain how this happened, but I know enough to realize that it is in no way "acceptable." Please let me know how to resolve this. I was in Old Gridania, at the market boards area near the leatherworkers' aethernet.
