I love playing my warlock. Warlocks are not weak because of their gear. If anything the warlock has it good. The hunter and titan have the alpha lupi chests while the lock gets a nifty helmet instead. Let's say you want raid gear. What's more likely? You getting a chest, gloves, boots? Or a helmet and two other raid pieces. The raid helmet is, in my experience, the hardest raid piece to get. Don't be jelly that your friend bought an armamentarium with the coins he earned, because odds are he won't get level 30 unless he does the hard raid and loots the raid helm from last boss.
