No thanks, DM system far superior.

and how's that any different than the same people running around right now offering 1,200 for a grade 5 matter repair?

people are still expecting crafters to keep doing the repairs for those items for the same amount that they did before. there's been a few people that sat there for days in spots because people refuse to repair their gear due to they refuse to pay the material cost. this system may be ok for some items, but it's not for others and the overall cost has went up on all besides a select few items. i'm one that will walk by, look at the offer, and walk away. if it costs me almost 5k each i'm not doing it for less.

Wow, then they are idiots for not thinking it through, 5k for grade 5 is the most minimum one should offer for repair, if they can't afford it because they are low level, and they wearing such high lvl gear they are idiots.

No both system is terrible. I heard Dark Matter can be mined correct? :P

I can be mined, but the drop rate is fairly low. There is no specific aimpoint for Dark Matter. You occasionally get a piece of Dark Matter instead of the regular 1 to 3 crystal shards. I went out mining grade 5 until fatigue, and picked up 4 or 5 pieces of Grade 5 Dark Matter (disclaimer: your results may vary).

I can understand the relatively low DM drop rate from gathering, since it's really the only gil sink in the game right now. Once chocobo rentals, airship tickets, and materia crystalization gil sinks are added in 1.19, I could see SE increasing the gather rate on DM slightly.
