That was kind of what I was getting at. You'll get no complaint from me about need to level DoL and DoH classes, my point of the thread though was that things feel restricted again.

For example, I have MRD at 50 and would really like to level THM. But to be an effective player, I need to level at least Blacksmith, Armorer and Miner to do materia for my MRD. Which doesn't help that I now need Goldsmith, Weaver, Miner and Botanist for THM. And even more so, now I can't level fishing and alchemy like I wanted to, because there's classes I have to level.

Guess I was just wondering if others felt the same way or if they're going to just hope others won't stiff them when attaching materia for them.

I really wouldn't worry about it if materia melding worked like repairs.
