I play on free time and free time i have i put into getting everything to 50 so i dont really care much for gear , i would if i had more free time and could spend hours farming a dungeon or primal fights, everyone has their own play styles and well not everyone is here for gear, i know a few ppl that all they do is craft cause they have no interest in the combat aspect of the game yet, until SE gets everything fixed up i pretty much share the same mindset , all i do is craft and caravan and the ocassional moogle but thats it.
