That seems like a good idea.
I'm looking at it from the other end of the spectrum, though.
I'm doing ok on gear and weapons I want, but that's mostly because of lucky drops if I'm going to be totally honest. I still haven't gotten to do the raids, for example. I really want to, but its just been me and my two brothers for the most part. Sometimes my brother's friend (who is kind of not great, tbh.) Even with so few, I almost brought our ragged little group to victory against the first boss of VoG, but even with me and my bros being over-leveled for it, being two short is a tall order.
I know people have said GAF would be more than willing to give me a hand, but I tend to be one of those idiots who is deeply embarrassed to ask for help. This is stupid. I know it is stupid, but I am pathologically stunted in this area for some reason.
Once I eventually get up to speed, I'd be down for paying it forward too. I'm the oldest in my family. I'm always looking out for the tribe be that family, friends or GAF.
