Yes yes, sad that you can't SB in a dungeon anymore...

... but maybe SBing ilvl 70+ gear is a more worthwhile investment? The Grade IV rates have been 'altered' for these appearently.

It sounds more like it's less worthwhile because it will sometimes yield rank III materia. They want to push people towards ilvl 90 gear.

For the spiritbonding in dungeons change: there's a difference between turning up in a full ilvl 49 set and expecting a carry (something I've rarely seen) and adding a few spiritbonding accessories on a well-geared character who's still doing their job more than adequately. Unfortunately the vocal complaints about the former have also hit the latter, and with both of these changes we'll see materia prices jump because of a few who were abusing the system.

As for spiritbonding at Urth's Gift: not everyone can do that at once, and it's something you have to spend time doing explicitly rather than taking advantage of something you'll be doing anyway. It's going to get busier, and materia are going to get harder to come by.
