I think the problem in the game is not the lack of content, but more an issue how people approach the content. I think you will do a good and reasonable job for first knowing what to do before looking into the gear. I have faith in people who know what to do will do the best what they have in hand.
It is always better to get what gear you have already to work first and then get better gear. I do not even have time to perfect my gear, but I do work on my gear for the time I got to play; but for now, got to get what I have to work first.
There are tons of stuff to try. Feel free to hit me up if you need a hand or a partner :P

Art for the sake of art itself is an idle sentence.
Art for the sake of truth, for the sake of what is
beautiful and good — that is the creed I seek.
- George Sand
A designer knows he has achieved perfection,
not when there is nothing left to add,
but when there is nothing left to take away.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
