Novus Meld Failure - Remove Please

[Shougun]

Except you don't have to go after the best of the best (which gives... what... 50 extra damage?). YOU want the best, without going into the trouble of getting it. You can throw a different stat on it and not have to pay the huge prices Savage Might/Aim IV costs. I myself know what I am getting into with trying to max it, but I enjoy the gambling aspect of getting materia/melding it. However if I wanted to save money, I'd have gone spell speed. SE gave you your alternative, but you complain because you want to get something without the "work" required to get it.

Heck, I was surprised to see the high percentages for final meld in the first place. I was expecting 30%.

Oh god, that'd be awful. % are a good way to keep people on their toes but because % are possibilities things happen it is completely reasonable to expect someone is going to get royally screwed, I don't think that is fair.

Arguing "work" in a % system is a bit awkward since some people get through with 0 extra work and others with hundreds of hours extra work. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask SE to limit the range of work to a tighter band.

% breaking systems reminds me so much of very popular korean f2p mechanics, would love to see the entire materia system get redone because of it - though that is likely never to happen (at least they removed the breaking of the item itself).

Again % do not assure an amount of work, so arguing "work" with % is very weird (you can talk about work in large data sets as averages but as individuals its different). It would be like saying two people work and get paid for 30 day and night cycles and it was fair that one worked 20 hours because the sun moved faster that day and the other worked 100 (assuming people live on a terrible planet.. lol). If you had these two guys work for the next hundred years it might average out.
