It is what it is... The simple truth

They need to add crafted gear to the game, if you want to be a better healer/dps/tank you need better gear, right now they are giving us gear dropped in dungeons, if they changed the loot from dungeons to crafting mats instead of complete pieces of gear, you would need more mats to complete the piece of gear you want, then add that you can put some materia to the piece of gear, you would need materias to improve your gear stats, that would give a lot more of activity to the market, they need to start with that and improve the bonuses that the materia can give to the gear right now the bonus is very low, making the system obsolete.
