Materia system may not be enough, for me I cannot tell; I'm not an economist, however I do know why MMOs implement this feature. It maybe a necessary evil because of adding an auction house and having gear that can be crafted with very few items. Hopefully SE has an economist advising them instead of adding it in because most other MMOs have it.

For people that flat out dismiss it, it's probably a good idea if you suggest a better alternative to remove items from the economy. Even if a lot of people say they hate it SE may not remove it because they think it's necessary for the economy. An suggested alternative may have a better effect of having character bound system removed.
