% Meld Success Rate

I'm sure they can put 20 minutes into balancing a formula to keep the current status as is with normal lvl proper gear and give a small boost to the people with materia/HQ gear, and a larger bonus to the people who have full forbiden HQ'd sets for crafting.

10 minute formula I came up with.

take current % numbers and add modifier's A and B:

Main hand stat(vit/str/dex/mnd/etc) for modifier A:
0-200: .8
201-250: .9
251-300: 1.0
301-350: 1.1
351+: 1.2

Sum of ( Control + Craftsmanship + magic.Craftsmanship) for modifier B:
0-200: .8
201-210: .9
211-220: 1.0
221-230: 1.1
231+: 1.2

ex: Weaver with 325-DEX and a sum of 235(control/crafts/m.crafts) doing a forbid with 20% success with new system would be: .2 * 1.1 * 1.2 => .264 or 26.4%

361+: 1.2

ex: Weaver with 325-DEX and a sum of 365(control/crafts/m.crafts) doing a forbid with 20% success with new system would be: .2 * 1.1 * 1.2 => .264 or 26.4%

they could but they wont, everyone would just get really good gear and throw the materia system outta balance. Multi melding is not supposed to be easy, people need to stop asking for bonus's. its bad enough crafted gear is best in game.
