I rarely see, say, Eriu/TNN thugs with lucky pendants. They simply don't need it, and as Eriu doesn't have piles of astral lying around generally they'd rather put it to more productive uses (starting with the AMA which is absolutely essential).

Most thugs rarely have full slots anyway, because its not cost effective if you're fielding large numbers of thugs. Cheap thugs with no more than 4 pieces of gear (weapon, shield, AMA, maybe one more piece) is the way to go.
