Sometimes bragging rights, as well.

That's what raiding is. It's especially true in this game when half the good gear is on the VERY LAST BOSS of the current coil, at that point gear is especially pointless because you'll only use it to kill the same bosses over again until patch.

Gear is replaced easily, memories are never lost.
Just so you know, that basically means EVERYONE who DFs content more than once, hoping for a drop = idiot. While there are many idiots that you'll meet, they're idiots for reasons beyond wanting gear lol. Speaking as someone who did raids primarily during the golden age of MMORPGs (aka vanilla WoW and FFXI), you did it for the gear. The memories come with the desire for the gear, not the other way around. Maybe a handful of people did it mostly for the social aspect, but that priority wasn't very far from wanting the drop they could use. Likewise, for many, the priority of gear probably wasn't too far off from the fun of raiding with friends, but it was still the priority (see majority reason). If gear wasn't what you wanted, there'd be no reason to farm said content, but raid groups ALWAYS DO (including the final boss of a raid tier).

On topic though, Lucis is most definitely going to be replaced and forgotten. I wouldn't bother besides for self accomplishment reasons, or you need the stats immediately for one reason or another. Perhaps you just don't have anything else to work on (like with MGP) or are bored. If it's for expansion reasons however, don't bother.
