This would be getting better gear than we have now. I have full HQ sets on all of my DOL and most of my DOH, but I'd love a better method of progression than the painful method of either sinking gil or the tedium of spiritbonding. I get the complaint about the time sink melding is and how it would upset current crafters, but the DOH/DOL gear deviates from the way other gear in the game works. Current endgame DOW/DOM gear is unmeldable except for the materia needed for a Novus.

I watched one of my old FC's best crafters throw up his hands (metaphorically) and take a break from the game in aggravation over the changes to crafting in 2.2, and having just now gotten into the new content on my crafters, I can see why he did. I'd like a way to make (slow) progress, without the pain of overmelding.
