I don't know why these players can't support their crafters, but SE please put a reasonable iLevel requirements for all the instances.
As the MSQ hands out HQ ilevel 115 gear for all slots before you hit the first dungeon in HW, you are not seeing 'new players', you are seeing their alts. I can understand why they aren't in i115 gear at that time: there is a single vendor for left-side gear, and they do not have a Buy Gearz Here sign.

To purchase HW gear on the MB can be a half-to-1 million gil expense, as I know from experience.

A better solution than ilevel requirements for all dungeons (really? what should we REQUIRE of a level 15 player in Sastasha?) might be to start dropping ilevel appropriate gear as part of the HW FATEs, which might spur the mob in Northern Thanalan to move on.
