if something really awesome is very hard to get, most people just won't use it for everyday use. you can grind just fine in exe dig/loot gear and boss hunt just fine, sure you could have a 250q sup sword to hunt bosses with but that's for surplus-- if you have it great, use it, if you have alot, great, if you only have 40 hp left on your fancy gear why use it for everything?
if mara bosses spawned every hour then everyone would use it for everything not just special occasions, just my 2 cents. i dont need the fancy stuff, but some players are from the era where comparatively more rare items than there are now, in that case many of them want to have what was had prior, im not from that time so it doesn't matter to me either way :P
im happy to help farm the rare things for others but for myself i need not
i favor digging so i like to use hp boosted focus set to dig, or maybe focus boosted focus set (never had one as of yet) i would love an hp+focus mara set but this doesnt exist, if it did i would use it for everything. similarly if sage missions were repeatable i would use the jewels for everything, the hp+sap npc set looks nice but no focus, no fun for me. well. actually i would use it to dig, focus jools = 4k focus, losing 125x5 focus for a gain in hp+sap would be useful for staying alive, running over to random boss invites and res's
so in summary, for a "PVE'er"
1) considering how long gear lasts when you dig with it, hp or focus boosted LA/jewels i would use always
2) if focus+hp npc set existed i would never take it off
3) since 2) doesnt exist i would settle for hp or focus boosted jewels + hp+sap npc set for all-day uses
it's a matter of abundance to me, if i had one id use it i mean thats why its there isnt it? some may say oh you really should use the fancy stuff for pvp but that will come when i feel like it =)
