    This system isn't exactly new or inventive or fresh either. TERA's (now scrapped) crafting/upgrade system basically did the same thing. You took gear, any gear whether farmed, boss drops, world drops ect, and broke it down into a craftable mat and then upgraded other gear with it to make +1 to +9 gear. You lost the original piece of gear in the process to upgrade the new piece of gear. To get close to +9 gear (the best in the game) you would need incredibly rare weapons/armor which could take forever to get, just to upgrade another piece of armor.
    Nobody thought this was a new concept and nobody cares about TERA.

    That's hilarious because 2-3 pages back people were praising this for being fresh and inventive. I know plenty of people who care about MMOs that are released with 5-6 Dungeons, PVP, contemporary battle system, World NMs and 100x more content than XIV at release.

    No ones been praising this as being inventive. They've been praising it for being an interesting system that brings some Nostalgia back to the game.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    my original post had to do with the materia system not being fresh and inventive, you quoted a secondary reply to Bruce about an ignorant TERA statement.

    Who cares. As long as it works well and provides players with enough customization on their own gear to keep them busy and/or satisfied. Could give a crap if TERA uses or used the system. So did Dark Cloud, so did Akia, your point?

    All you did was provide something that wasn't constructive. I guess that's just me being ignorant.
