I do not like the idea that once you have melded equipment or got the spirit bond to 100% you can't trade it. Then a seemingly good piece of equipment literally becomes worthless. I hope this isn't the case at all. For me in 1.0 I was able to recycle everything i bought if i new i wasn't going to use it later, for instance i bought a helm and once i grew out of it i had the option to sell it back for what i paid for it which i loved doing. But if what i have been reading is true I'm going to have to be just converting it all to materia. And if everyone does this there will be a way over abundance of it and the materia wont sell. and if it does sell it will be so dirt cheap, way cheaper than what you actually got the original equipment for thus profits plummet.
