Just a thought. The eyes and paras do actually have a negative affect for PvE.
I've heard the argument "i'd love to run with people who stack the eyes and paras".
Ok, say you're in a town or guild looking to organize a party with strangers to run planar tombs. Two mages come up to you and would like to join, but you only have one slot available. Mage1 has a full eye/para set of gear, and mage2 has the same gear filled with weak mind jewels. They both have the same pet. Mage1 has substantially more hp/crit/damage than mage2 despite the similar gear. In a difficult map like Planar Tombs, who would you honestly invite?
Most people would go for the one that stacks the eyes even if they werent the one who asked to join first. That leaves mage2 in the dust because they weren't around to take advantage of the eyes and paras events. How is that fair?
People tend to have preference over eye gemmed mages rather than non-eye mages.
