I generally don't buy the rares because there is no way to earn anything you are missing. If you need any fixers that require a certain level to send please do add these to your w/l as I can now send them all and you likely have other friends who can send the free fixers as well. I don't know where you are with your quests but you do earn one Merchant's talisman and one Captain's talisman and they require only free fixers not rares. You are exactly right about the rares from older events yet there are many of  that are giftable, for instance the ones that go towards those three special artifacts that you can't get any other way. I think it's fun to at least use my bonus rubies to get the 5 ruby per rare chest as long as I concentrate on specific events to increase chances of having the collections filled in over time. Personally I don't see anything in the shop that I can't earn or craft or if really in need use my w/l so it's just fun. I imagine perspective and personal choice varies depending on player goals, existing friend gifts, and if they want to purchase rubies or use earned/bonus rubies only. As long as you are having fun it's all good!!
