Melding on tomestone / raid gear

Do not do this, this is a horrible idea. Unless you are going to have materia purchasable with GC seals, hunt seals or law, this is probably one of the worst ideas Ive heard.

Im a senior officer in a 500 player FC with four airships and 10 million company credits. Im not the least bit concerned about myself in this situation.

I am literally thinking of the people that are not in a situation to acquire a ton of materia without spending (all of) their hard earned gil.

This is going to create a whole other level of elitism. I really hope that there is going to be another option for players aside from current ways to get materia or this will get ugly.
