This is,

Destabilizing an already unstable economy

Hurting the Gathering Classes which they openly have no intention of supporting for a long time

Breaking Lore in dozens of ways

Tearing one of the few aspects of crafting out of the game

And, once again, dumbing things down
Again have you forgotten that both crafters and gatherers will play a new HUGE role in the economy once the materia system is released? Gatherers harvest the catalysts and Crafters set materia into equipment. Materia is going to be a huge part of the game and both gatherers and crafters have extremely integral parts in it. Time to stop looking at the immediate future and take a look at the bigger picture for once!
