It may not have just been a low rank but may have been the way your allotment points were used or the spells and combos thereof. Also, do you have a second job started? This ALSO can help with you getting "handled" at certain times in PTs, Leves, or solo.

As for looking for NPCs with gear and such... they already have on your mini map and the full map little "sacks/money bags" indicating where NPCs are. No it doesn't tell you what they sell... that is for you to do and explore.

Not to come of like a jerk but, you have to do some of the work. This is not a linear type RPG or MMORPG it's not going to guide you through everything to get you from A-B. You can use different websites to gather more info if you have difficulty locating some of the things you are asking about. If the chat seems low, start up a conversation with the other players and YOU be the one who makes the difference.
