Is online worth it for Ep 1&2?

Basically if you know how to detect illegit items, you're ok. Just look out for anything rare (look at the dropcharts to see how rare some things are), and/or anything with 90% or 100% (even though Photon Spheres are possible in MA, nobody would take that kind of time getting them and then just give the wep away), or a high hit%. There are only a few times you can legitimately accept good weapons, and they usually involve knowing the person offline or very well. A fellow SR member (legit clan) is going to trade me a certain Demo Comet with hit, but I don't know if he'll take anything for it or not (I offered, anyway).

But if you are, as Sephiroth puts it, "anal legit," do us a favor and be quiet about it. Keep in mind that legitimacy is not a black-and-white term; for most of us what matters is to use what you found or what you traded for, and no more. Example: I own three Frozen Shooters, one with hit%, and all have backup dupes. I could use the dupes of the one with hit just so that all my rangers could have one, but I consider that to be quite illegit. Anyway, I can honestly say that I've been on the recieving end of some elitism from "anal legits," just for backing up my stuff. Nobody wants to hear this stuff because they don't deserve it.

you are completely right. if you are careful and know what to accept, it will all go all right online. if anyone wants to go online, then they should do it. don't be afraid! just go for it!
