This would make it so customizing didn't seem as much of a chore, but more of a reward. Right now you grind so you can grind.

Just as an example, right now if you wanted a plat force (ignoring the market/forum) you have to be qi 3000 and have 42k. So even if you save all 3k games worth of tc, you still couldn't buy it with that alone. It would be nice if the value of the item tc wise correlated better with the value of the item belt wise. Instead the value of the item base on belt seems very useless, seeing as you could be in that belt and still never get the item.

There needs to be a middle ground, right now there is too much grinding that makes everything a chore if you're not willing to sink in actual money, or learn the market. But it shouldn't be so little grinding that its easy to obtain everything rather quickly.
