I can't afford rank 8 gear because everyone in the wards jacked up their prices even higher now that everyone has to trash their old gear. However, rank 1 weathered gear is still decent at level 8 and in no way should I have as many issues soloing because of it.



See above, I know how to play the game. Been playing since launch, just started a new character recently when I came back. They hit harder than pre-patch by far. Anyone who doesn't see that is blind. It's not just them hitting harder though, it's the fact that battles take FAR longer for less sp rewards at low levels.
sadly that being gimp sorry you most get level 8+ gear for yourself but i agree the market ward price is killing the low level gear. But now that everything is easy to make it be better within a few weeks.
