and you know what, since he clearly has no future intentions of what I mentioned above, I just cannot have any respect for a game director that chooses to do something like this.

Some people have mentioned a few ideas like gear with guarnteed overmeld slots, which alone would warrant it to be a hard to craft recipe. Gear with guarnteed overmeld slots for crafting thats not something you would want everyone having. Hardcore crafters would have that gear while non hardcore would continue to have star gear. Would also push people to choose what they want more guarnteed slots or a buttload of materia blowing up in their face..
