EDIT: I mean gear you can buy as a starting player; of course a Fungi Tunic or haste cloak or whatever won't be worthless. But when it comes to low-level stat gear ...
Look, I guarantee that even if you spend ten levels in Crushbone, sell every belt you ever loot, and buy a nifty item with 20 more AC (or Stamina, or whatever) ... you will not notice the difference! If I could somehow hide whether that item was equipped or not (with whiteout on your monitor or something), I'd bet you couldn't tell me if it was, because even a 20 AC change won't meaningfully impact a level 5 toon.
But levels ... levels are everything in this game. Use the belts, get levels, and then you'll be able to farm much better gear ... but you really shouldn't, because you should mostly ignore gear, wearing what you find or are given ... and just focus on leveling [You must be logged in to view images.

Couldn't disagree more. Even on my very first toon being a bard, one of the least gear dependant classes, that 700p worth of starting gear I picked up from selling belts/pads was an absolute game changer. I think you may be a bit far removed from the reality of what it is like to try leveling with your only gear being leather that dropped for some spots and at best a fine steel weapon on a paladin of all classes.
The low end of gear is so ridiculously undervalued at this point that for a few hundred PP you can get gear in all your slots that is 80% as good as the best buyable gear in the game (not counting the uber twink gear like fungi tunic or the ultra rare 100k+ raid loot that is now sold on P99).
