Please Consolidate Materia

[Hasrat]

Each materia grade should scale. Perhaps each grade represents an expansions gear level.
Grade 1= ARR
Grade 2 = Heavensward
Grade 3 = Stormblood
Grade 4 = Shadowbringers

Do you not understand the wide scale of stats each of those covers? ARR alone, you want low level players getting the same stats out of materia as level 50s? Or do you just want 50s to just get +1s off of everything?

You seemed to leave out the dynamic scaling part. For example, a Grade 1 materia would scale properly for the gear it is equipped to. So a level 20 piece of gear would get a small portion of the stats, while a level 50 piece would get the maximum. Similar to the aetheryte earring they give away for preordering shadowbringers. The system is already in the game, transferring it to another item should be completely possible.

Eliminate the current Grade 1, 2, and 3. These grades have been near useless since Heavensward.

No they haven't. The early part of the game hasn't gone away just because you're no longer doing it. There are still lots of new players and players leveling new classes. Level 10 players shouldn't have the stats of level 50 players and vice versa.

And nothing is gained by getting rid of materia grades anyway. Those who are at a level where they no longer have much use for the lower grades just won't collect them, so they won't be taking up your inventory space. Just leave them to people who are still at the appropriate level to have a use for them.

We will get 8 actually, a 7 with +60 and a 8 with +80 it seems...

I just wished we could mix materia on our own... i got so many stacks of V & VI but IT. TAKES. SO. LOOOOOOONG at Mutamix....
