That stuff minimizes the community greatly, although it does quickly divide the good from the bad.
And basically telling them all the way through "Oh, it doesnt really matter" is a better way to teach them? Maybe I am a little to frustrated and rough, but when the game is offering you free gear already and you cant even be bothered to make sure you pick the correct piece (or, if you screw up, make your way over to an NPC vendor or the market board) I am losing my patience.
My point is: at this level - wether you got there through leveling or with a jump potion at somepoint - you should be expected to KNOW how to gear up. No guide needed anymore. No explantion of basic stuff. No super-duper-fluffly-cuddeling. If you're playing football/soccer in a team they dont explain you the rules and how to kick a ball each time you come into training aswell - and if you cant figure it out at somepoint, you're out.

I know you're not against this idea, but I wanted to point out why your issue isnt an issue. There will always be crafted gear, you get two sets for free while playing anyways - and even if you make a small mistake there are NPV-vendors to get you the gear you actually need. So the problem you pointed out is only a problem for people not giving a fuck and those people dont belong in a teambased game.
