It doesn't help that abjurations are really hard to get if your not in a Legion group.

NQ Hexed is not only bad, but you waste an abjuration on it. Why waste an abjuration on garbage? I don't even understand how there is a market for NQ Hexed gear at all currently.

This is correct. The idea is that players shouldn't be punished for buying NQ Hexed gear, especially if they're a semi-casual player who will pretty much only ever get the Abjuration once. This way, you'll at least have the hope of someday getting to be able to upgrade it, but still be able to buy the garbage NQ Hexed gear without wasting your valuable abjuration, only a couple million gil that skilling crafters will need to recoup crafts.
