Materia System

[Griss]

bit of feed back i have, if a player is wearing a piece of over ranked armor (wearing a piece before optimal rank is reached) i think it would be best if the ap gain for that piece was halted all together or at the very least reduced to slower then a snails pace. I would also like to see the ap gain for pieces being cross classed ( worn while on a class that's not on the recommended list ) to take a hit to ap gain as well. Would also like to see materia bonuses behave like hq status. in that its not active until the optimal rank is obtained.

I am all for players wearing pretty much what they want. But i am more in the camp of giving players a incentive to wear what there "Supposed to" and i think adding ap gain and materia bonuses to the list of warm fuzzy thing that happen when your wearing optimal ranked and recommended gear is a very good thing.
