I am not really a new player, since I have over 90 days of registration with the game. However, I have not a lot of experience with MMO and this kind of game is really new to me.

1- Am I wrong saying that color weapon (ex : uncommon sword that is green) is not a lot better that the common? What I mean is that expected that a rare gear would be really, really good. (ex : level 15 sword that is really rare = level 19 common sword) but I find that the gear a very similiar. Sure, the epic or rare one is better, but the stats are not a lot better. First, Am I wrong? Second, if not, is the difference a lot higher at higher level?

2- At level 27, the gear is still not that exciting. If I look for my gladiator, there seem to be 4-5 weapons for him that are Worth considering. Is it the same with all the MMO? I played a little bit of WOW and there was a lot of weapon. Is this true? Is the lack of weapon for low level character is a problem?
