Ah, I suppose you're right there. Perhaps I've just been playing other games which tend to fling leveling sets of gear at newbies so liberally that it's felt out of place not having it in ffxiv. I haven't needed to gear a class lower than lv 30 since 2.5, so it's been strange to watch a friend deal with it.

For those recommending buying the NQ gear from vendor, do you think the gil earned is currently enough to support that type of expenditure? I remember when 2.0 launched that money always felt so tight, and those vendor items were always overpriced, but I realized the economy has changed since then.
