So new players will get free gear/gil/xp from doing quests as they venture to level 50.
they already could have done that in 1.0. nice try though. you got gear from quests, leves, dungeons, low level nm's, and primals. you were able to get enough gear that you didn't technically have to buy gear in 1.0, but almost every non crafter i knew did buy anyways. the ones that didn't buy they were given old gear from other players. i rarely sold any of my old gear unless i upgraded my melded gear and sold off the lower meld, but over the course of 2 years i gave away tons of gear that i had used and out leveled.
