Having a lack of materials for progression is a part of being new to an mmo so I don't really get your point here. It's not like cores are extremely scarce or rare to get currently either. Besides, when you start you'll have literally no god rolled items so it doesn't really matter what you equip. You just equip whatever until at the appropriate "soft cap" and THEN start farming/infusing. You don't get to look cool as a new player.
