If you want 50 gear, you have to level a craft to 50. Its long, drawn out and painfull to do so. Then to go on and get a 3 materia meld you have to try over and over and over, as well as invest the time and money into it.

Crafters are constantly treated as second class citizens.

Its not a matter of pure luck. There is the prerequisite of actually level a crafter to 50, you seem to convienently forget that.

I don't see you pushing for DoH to be capable of earning Mog/Ifrit gear with out DoW/M, you apear very against even a remote equality in the classes even though leveling a DoW/M is 10 times easier and faster then leveling a DoH.
