^ Problem with MMORPG gamers today, you're right who would want to help others? That would be silly in a community based online game.

No-Lamp chest drop materia, high level potions, and maybe a chance at HQ crafted equipment. Or items you can turn in for GC seals or somethin
If there becomes too many sources for HQ gear outside of crafting or even high level materia (guild marks will run out) you kind of negate the reason to make it as it'll become largely common place and not worth making or selling anymore. This is how you ruin markets in MMOs.

Also even if the drop rate goes to 100% the kupo nut amount required should match the inferno totem amount required. No reason for them to be more expensive.
If it becomes 100% you would need a lot more for balance. It wouldn't make sense to need say 4 Nuts for your weapon @ 100% drop rate, since it's 100% drop you should be perfectly fine with it costing 10+ because you'll get one every battle.
