Why stick to the norm when you aren't always fighting or doing combat with others? as long as it can withstand some decent damage, and as long as you are well prepared for whatever hazards you are most succeptible to, any armor should suffice. Diamond God Armor makes a player too heavily dependent on it when they are exposed to scenarios with you being stripped down to nothing, ex. starting up a new survival world. Becoming too comfortable with something always gets the best of someone if it is too overpowering.
