While another way to cash in on materia, do you find this an interesting and rewarding way to use materia?

I had hoped, even if only in 2.0, that they could find another way to add materia back into the crafting process and ensure its use and disappearance from the system.

Materia is definately used for items, but a glance at the market will show a huge amount of single melts and a rare multi-meld piece. WHat i see as an observasion is people are less willing to chance the total loss of what equals 2 crafted gear items with no return.

I'd like to see a more stable return on materia use but via a consumable so the gain is much more likely, but its loss is also garunteed. And as i said above, once an item is melded, it will be bought and sold add infinity. Thus sometimes trumping the newly crafted items, and lowering the need for more due to someone having owner ship of the melded item.

I find this much more interesting then handing it to an NPC for some points and potentially, much more beneficial to myself, fellow players and the health of the game as a whole.

Thank you
