(At least that is how I read it, maybe I read it wrong).
It's not that crafters will expect a lot of gil for one-inlay synths that anyone their level can do and not fail. It's that they won't do them. They will only be interested in whipping up all the good materia and BLOWING it to hell on chances to combine two of them into a HQ endgame piece so they can charge 24 million gil for it. If battlers raise their prices for that materia, crafters will pay it...and then just mark the final products up even more to cover that cost, saying that battlers should have the gil to afford that since the crafter just paid them a lot of money for that materia.

Crafters will run away with this system. Battlers who aren't lucky enough to get the best materia results won't be able to afford it, because that materia will simply be material spam to some bloatedly rich crafter. They won't be able to inlay one good materia into their weapon.
