Only reason I don't see them reconsidering is the reason they chose to gimp Crafting as a whole. They fear RMT (Real Money Transactions). Crafting is easily abuse-able with RMT. There are already Bots running around with harvesting and ruining the crafting economy with dirty cheap resources, killing the sales anyone else may be trying to profit off of with crafters. They also craft as far as I've seen and sell some items cheaply lowering the price for crafting. The biggest thing bots are used for is currently RMT as well. They farm, sell, and then sell the gear/Money/Items for real money.

This is the reason presented to why we can't have better Materia crafting. The reason why we can't craft anything better than End Game Dungeon gear. The reason why they don't plan on improving anything in the near future.
