That being said I will not be following my own advice. lol. I would recommend finding a crafter ever 5-10 levels and doing a complete gear overhaul. Will make leveling that much easier.

Agreed. This game differs from other MMO's I played in that you really can't count on mob drops and rewards to keep your gear current. I did that in one beta and by the time I was at lvl 8, I still had some lvl 1 & 2 pieces of gear.
If you want to keep your gear current, you either need to craft it yourself, have someone craft it for you or buy it.... I love this because it keeps the economy relevant crafting is actually a useful endeavour.
