im can deal with changes and having to adjust to them but what bugs me most about this item binding is that once i get to a certain spirit-bond level with gear i can't trade it, or sell it so basically im screwed. only thing left to is to either discard it or spirit-bond the gear itself getting a new materia.

If i had lets say sentinels gauntlets with double meld str+40 which then i reached the level of spirit-bond if i was able to spirit-bond it getting back my two str materias then get another for the gear itself that would be okay with me. this way its not like ppl hold on to materia forever eventually materia gets taken out of the game when ppl try to double,triple, quad meld gear.

If we can't rest spirit-bond like you guys say by going to a npc and resetting it that way, then what can we do at that point once the item binds we basically fucked. only thing we can do is spirit-bond said gear and get some type of materia then we have a whole problem gear being situational to avoid building spirit-bond.
