There really isnt alot of gear in the game or nice loots in the game like i thought there would be. I realize you buy your gear then socket it with manastones and that customizes your gear and what not. i just thought there would be alot more different looking Gear but there really isnt. its like from lvls 1-10 you have one set of gear then from lvls 10-20 you have another (i dont know about levels higher seeing as how i cant get past lvl 20 yet) but thats how its been so far. Someone plz tell me there is gonna be more loot once i get out to the abyss. Other than this problem i love all the other aspects to the game 
Also once you get out to the abyss you can fly for as long as you want right?

It gets better in the end and you eventually get to dye your gear.
You can always get the best gear within the first 10 levels of any MMO... oh wait....
I had a different experience the limited time I played. I guess I was lucky, but I got a lot of random drops. I was customizing my gear every 2-3 levels. I found gear to give to my alts. I found gear to give to random people I talked to. I found a lot of gear lol. And they looked different from each other.
You can dye armor right from the start.
From level 10-20, there are about 3 white armor sets and 4 or 6 green armor sets per armor type. Admittedly, a lot of them are sharing skins and are just color variations of each other. I believe its only three or four distinct skins per armor type between all of those.
Check www.aionarmory.com to see the equipment listing (although it is incomplete it already gives you a very good idea of what to expect).
There's actually an interesting variety, ranging from quest obtained, drop, abyss, crafted.
Even on lower levels if you care to do some research you'll see the variety, each equipment has secondary stats (besides the generic stats that you find progressing - like defense, attack, etc that every equipment of that type has), like a level 15 bow that has a bonus on critical strike chance and a level 17 bow that has a bonus on HP, makes you wonder which you want to really use, especially because the gear doesn't progress so you will really be thinking on which bow you'd prefer. Also the same weapon may have these secondary stats varied.
Besides that you get the manastones to place in sockets, the godstones to place in weapons and the enchantment of your equipment.
I am level 16 and have gone through at least 6~7 different armor kinds.
Find me one game that has super UBER stats and looks to it....in the first 10 levels. Not to mention lots of variety in the first 1-10 lvls.
EDIT: sorry to break the taboo but not even wow had super amazing sets in the first 10 lvls
While there aren't a lot of different armors at the earlier levels they're all pretty cool looking to me, and that's a plus in my book. Some games armors just make me want to go naked cause it would look better.
Smartass. >.<
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
I dont see a big need for alot of different gear in the erlier lvls. And even if I did, I'd say they compencated with the look of the gear.
I mean Aion has some preety sweet looking gear for "lowbies" and thats not something you see often. And they are right in doing so. I mean even if your a "lowbie" as a player your still a hero in the game, or atleast a soldier and they do have a certain standard of armor and weapons. I never had to use some rusty armor and a wooden sword and I'm glad I didnt have to!
