Hi,

My suggestion is this, please implement a new type of materia (example: Gordian Materia of Savage Might IV).

Currently a lot of players are having issues with the meld system because the increase of gear has also increase the burden required to reach those new statistical caps. Reaching the end, where meld chances are down all the way to 6% on an extremely unreliable RNG system.

Make the Gordian Materia a 100% meld regardless of slot, then attach it to old contents - example 2000 Tomestones of Poetry for 1 Gordian Materia IV, or 100,000 MGP for 1 Gordian Materia.

As of right now, there are strictly no reason to do old content. Even the poetics turn-in gives literally nothing useful. The same goes for the Gold Saucer once glamor is achieved. Materia is the longest surviving system in the game. It would be a great long term solution. And also a great means for new players to make some gils, and also a great means for crafters and gatherers to lower the cost of their gear, which would help to encourage other players into the non-combatant side of the game.

a 100 35 29 100 100 percent chance of meld is loads better than a 100 35 29 12 6 percent chance
