if one was to decide to stack or mix stats, that would be up to the individual wich is why the materia system is probably this games current best aspect, that being said , IF they limit our abilities to customize our gear by limiting slots and how many materia would actually be effective , they would consiquently force us into another "cookie cutter gear set up" situation, everyone will stack the same stats on the same gear where as of now, because there is no limit to effective stats people will experament and find for themselves what stat builds work for them.

I am evidance that what the majority may want dosent always fit that odd ball player. Not to say either side is wrong in their choice , but having the choice is what makes me such a big fan of the materia system. From what i understand SE is concerned about the unitentional "bloaded" stats on gear , consiquently overpowering certain jobs. Fact is , such gear sets are NOT easly come by and often take several atempts just to attain a double meld, much less a triple. If one was soo inlcined to acheive such greatness and set themsleves apart from the masses , why should they not be allowed to? This is the brilliance of our current materia set up. No one is limited , everyone has the same opertunity and yet only few decide to temp fate and even fewer succeed. Its a system in wich risk is rewarded even if it somtimes fails, and the higher the risk the more potential a reward awaits the gambler. And all this to insure that no one person is forced or even inclined to have the same set up as any other.

I implore you SE, DO NOT REFORM YOUR MATERIA SYSTEM, IT IS NOT BROKEN, PLZ DO NOT BREAK IT .
Hmmm? Where did you hear that we'd be materia limited?

I definately don't want to see that either.
I agree with what you are saying that it is our best reward system on making uber gear, and the best way to customize our setups.
While a double meld (or more) setup is OP compared to someone with basic gear, it is pretty balanced between classes/jobs.

BLM with Double Melds ='s WHM with Double Melds (not in the sense of damage, but potential)
