Materia system should be streamlined and based on FFVII.

I don't totally disagree with what they plan on doing, my problem is this:

What are players who already spent exorbitant amounts of time obtaining +1 triple melded gear supposed to do when it all suddenly becomes next to useless? Walk it off?

We need to move on, even if some players are damaged, they could make a temporary system to trade those gears to an NPC for a good amount of gil or seals, to compensate the damage.
