This has to be the most whiny, over-the-top post I've seen in a long time, bravo.
I can understand not everyone likes the soulbinding side of things, but it's really not the devil you think it is.
Edit:
This isn't an economy disabler, if anything it has quite the opposite effect. Crafters need to keep pumping out gear to meet supply/demand - in 1.0 people would re-sell their old stuff and crafters would flood the markets with things they'd make for cash which meant nothing moved at a fantastic rate. Now players will be guaranteed to keep buying things.
Hell, maybe in the future we may get a desynth option if you're not into materia but with things being soulbound it actually invigorates different parts of the market - As one player suggested, if you're that hard-up for gil, go farm raw mats to be placed onto the AH, you can guarantee they'll move because crafters will definitely need them, and plenty of them.
From your avatar, it says you have GSM 50, you could make -so- much money with that come ARR with everyone needing multiple rings for their gearsets and whatnot, what is the problem? D:
