Or maybe they just didn't want to put on pointless level 1 gear and they were waiting until level 5 or level 10 when they could put on legit gear.
Same reason you saw level 1s in XI fighting monsters naked. If you threw away your starter gear, you were SOL til level 7 unless you wanted to spend gil on stat-less crap from the NPCs.

I'm willing to bet a lot of people just didn't know where the gear was.
IIRC from 1.0, low level (level 1) stuff was available from vendors and vendor stuff is cheap; this IS a beta as well so there's no reason to price it at an obscene number. Not having gear vs. having gear was a night/day difference in 1.0, leveling up, because it improved your success rate, and I don't see why they would take away that aspect here.
