After they made NPC repairs 99% in 1.19 theres no real reason to need to craft if you dont want to. The point of having materia and all that stuff is to give crafters a job. If you think u NEED to craft because of materia then that means u also NEED to do all the DoL so you can get the catalysts yourself. The point is to rely on other people, not everything has to, nor is intended to, be done by yourself, the object of a MMO is to work with other people.

How would you propose someone actually afford gear + materia without having a DoH profession? You sure as hell don't make enough gil or get enough useful mats as a DoW, and unless you have a high DoL and a lot of high level DoH friends you will be SoL or spamming LF45+ BSM (Reward) 100,000 gil for a long time.

Not to mention the idea of handing a person you don't know 1 million gil worth of mats, which will have a 70% chance of disappearing is pure insanity.
