Please let us socket materia without crafting

Is it really that troubles some to shout for someone to meld you materia and offer a 5K tip in the process? It's not like you're trying to slot in a million Materia breaking it into an overmeld slot. It'll be at most one or two per piece of gear.

I hate to say it, but your request just screams "lazy" and "I don't want to interact with anyone" at the same time, sorry to say :/

Not to mention making crafters more irrelevant. People say they "don't want to be a bother", but why are you playing a game where you have to talk to other people?

lol, most people can get it for free via their FC as long as you have the materia/matter.

Agree with OP though - it's a dumb restriction. One I can live with, but it's still dumb.

TC, if you don;t want to bother your FC's crafter, then don't. Shout in Idyllshire or somewhere that you are looking for a crafter to meld for you. It's not hard. Just be sure to leave something of a tip.

if any crafter requires a tip to click one button for someone, they are a sad sad person. I meld for free because it you do absolutely nothing but one click for the person

They are not sad, they are providing a service. I always tip something for the service.

Whenever I ask craftsman in FC to craft me something, I always give him/her some money for it - even tho it's not mentioned.

A tip for one meld? sure not needed but if you come to me wanting an entire gear set melded especially crafting and gathering sets you're damn right you're paying if I don't know you.

Just level the crafters you need for your equipment to 60. They designed the materia system this way to pad out their game. Can't let combat classes get everything easily. Sure it'll seem like a waste of resources but in return you can gather and craft resources for yourself or even make yourself money and get returns on it.

OK, just let me go ahead and level GSM, LTW, WVR and ALC to 60 for the sole purpose of melding.

Honestly I don't have an issue leveling crafting. It's frankly super easy between leves, GC turnins and beast tribe dailies. My issue isn't with crafting it's with gathering. It's so damn tedious to level gathering that the gathering is my main blocking point to progression is how damn slow they level. The exp gain from gathering is just crap low.
