That being said, I should have mentioned that I don't see how Jinko's expected distribution would stimulate the economy, even for lower level players, in any way realistically speaking. With a distribution like that we'd have said levels producing said tiers of materia and all we'd see instead is tier IIIs being much less prevalent and less-used and an increase in the number of tier IVs. Tier Is and IIs would remain as is because people don't ignore them only due to power leveling. They ignore them due to them being an unnecessary investment beyond customization.
The majority of my post focuses on how bracketed PvP and materia could act in synergy to benefit all of eorzea.

Your post just says it how it is and was intended to be despite the fact that the game doesn't make use of materia in such a manner.
