Materia System

[Wynn]

Battlers now have to pay crafters to start making materia. If they don't pay crafters, they can't make materia. Crafters get to charge whatever they want for the base weapons now. Then if a battler does make a materia and tries to sell it, a crafter will simply pick it up, put it into a weapon, then pass that cost RIGHT back onto a battler with a hefty markup for that crafters' services and combination of materia and quality of weapon. The battler has to pay the crafter twice, and the crafter can pass every last gil's cost of their activity back onto the battler.

It's not right.

Isn't that how anything works though? If I'm a contractor doing glass work on someone's home, I buy my materials, in this case glass. I then pass that cost on to the customer for whom I'm doing glass work for. Why wouldn't I?
