You didn't need it however, double melds were fine for any of the content and they were relatively cheap or easy enough to make. Take away the resale value in the triple meld and people are less inclined to buy items of such rarity. Depending on your luck/success in raids it could become junk a week later or 6 months later. Knowing that I'd stick with a double. People who don't own shitloads of cash will be even more likely to think this way. But as the materia system is getting overhauled this may not even be an issue. I can't hate on a system until I know how it will work with other systems.
