Thread: Materia Changes in 3.2:

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.

Then why am I playing this game and not another game like Guild Wars 2 with plenty of Zerg content?

Honestly, that is a poor excuse. Materia should drop from dungeons at a common pace if Dungeon gear will have materia slots.

The worst part is the materia doesn't add interesting stats, so it doesn't solve the boring stat problem people have been complaining about since forever.

I wish I could like your post 1000 times. =3

But dungeon gear won't have materia slots... Sure, they can make materia drop from raids. I don't think anyone would care though. But you're asking basically for stuff which already has easy ways of getting. And those are also not the only ways of obtaining them (materia was in the game before 3.0). You also have the option of not using materia.

Pretty much par for the course if you search up OP's other threads.

I have 574 Brass spoils right now. I forget how many per Grade 5 you need, but that's still going to be a good amount I don't need to spend gil on later.

3.2 gear will probably have a higher chance to convert into Gear 5 materia as well, and once some of the Diadem changes come into effect I'll go back in and farm it more for tokens (only really going in there to gather for now)

Also, don't forget that Grade 5 cannot be overmelded, so you don't need a lot of them. Grade 4 will still be the ones you need to get a lot of.

What? You get gil thrown at you from every direction. Heck, there were less ways to get gil back then compared to now. EVEN AT LAUNCH gil came from allagan coins in chests rather than mob drops. People had to manage money to not go broke due to repairs and the like.

Jeeze, I guess you don't know how good you have it right now lol.

I hope diadam is not gonna be only thing how we can collect V materias. Would be nice if you could buy those with old tomestones. I would even farm relic twice rather than do any diadams..

95% of players don't raid regardless of gear. A whole bunch of ya can't do more than 500 dps no matter how good your gear is. And the content is tuned so low it could prob be beaten with half your gear missing. I don't see how this will effect anything.
