There's also that. I know free trial people have limited communication but the most likely scenario is that many of them come in from the recommendation of friends. Ive done this with every friend I managed to get into the game and we've made sure to donate appropriate level gear when they need it during their msq journey.

I do wish they would at least introduce lv.70-90 PvP gear that give you stats so players can have an alternate way of gearing progression. Because honestly I had a lot of fun working on PvP rewards on my early game alts and still upgrade their jobs up to lv.60 with those old sets.
