Thread: Materia Changes in 3.2:

It's not relevant because you tell yourself that -- you can get materia with bronze spoils.................................

if only they lowered the amount of spoils needed (or upped the spoils exchange to 5-8-10 )....48 is a lot of gear traded for a 1 materia :S

and since diadem is changing...we dont know how "farmable" is going to be the new diadem...maybe is a pain in the rear and u need to farm diadem for 1 week to be able to buy 1 materia...

Unless your grinding for lvl 5 materia, diadem items are kinda on the cheap side now. use to sell wind silk for like 500 till the prices dropped to like 100k and less. :/

Honestly if they don't make a way for materia to be easily attainable in 3.2 (20k each I guess?), I'm not going to be using it on my armour. As much as I want to output maximum DPS (even though the "hardest" content I do is EX primals), I'm not willing to spend 1 million+ per piece, it takes me a month just to make a million casually. There's no chance I'd be able to save that much and leave gil for other expenses unless I grind The Diadem, which I'm definitely not interested in. On the plus side, overmelding isn't allowed.

Merchant classes make far more money that battle classes? Sounds working as intended. If this weren't the case, then no one would craft... that aside, crafters don't literally "make"; they trade around money.

I would not have any issues with this if it was Everquest I and you got 10,000 AA's and each point made you a little stronger. That way I could be much stronger always doing what I do then what a crafter would do.

However, if your both a crafter and combat player you will have a significant advantage over just a combat player, someone who focuses only on one thing.

That is "NOT" right.

Correct, I don't like Zerg content. If I wanted to play Zerg Content I would install Guild Wars 2. They do it much better. Sorry.

Why is that? It's not like there are restrictions to what classes any one can play. Anyone, at any point (after level 10) pick up any class (including non-combat classes) and level them.

I would rather punch myself in the face then stand in place and click buttons. Crafting is so boring, I would rather work at a job.

What does not liking Diadem have to do with anything?

You asked for an easy way to get Materia and Diadem is an extremely easy way to.
It sounds to me like you're just looking for a reason to complain here. You don't want to do content? You don't get the rewards, it's really that simple. Maybe you should play another game.
