As of 11/1 (presumably since 2.4, I only just noticed) my Militia Bracelets, previous melded to +10 GP, now have only +8. (Grasp IV and two Grasp III, with the second only providing 1 GP)

I don't recall seeing this in the patch notes, but if it's here to stay it's kinda BS, mine aren't fully melded, and it will be much more expensive trying to add gathering/perception as 4th and 5th melds than 3rd and 4th?
