When people can go into Raids and get things for free, they're less likely to spend gil on multiple gear and multiple materia to "attempt" an improvement.
They are nerfing the RNG for both materia and dungeon drops. I'm not sure where the get things for free thing is I'd have to read about that lol.


We dont know if dungeon gear will be better or not - yes materia isnt as powerful we have heard but we dont know what else has changed to materia or what has all changed to higher crafting.


If crafting gear is still more powerful than dungeon gear then people will still be making it. Perhaps crafts take more materials, or materia is crafted like (I suggested before, (and other games have done it... lo)). Its not black and white if we lost or gained a gil sink, at least not yet imo.
