That's just always been a part of how mabinogi was designed. Yeah, sure, there is expensive NPC clothes, but you're pretty actively discouraged from buying them as they often times are extremely ugly and poor statted for their cost.
However, an important thing to note is that certain 'sets' do exist for melee, magic, and archery. They tend to be more rare than other pieces of equipment, and are reserved by Mabinogi for more mid to end game content.
