Take it with a grain of salt, most players will know that low gear levels will mean low numbers, but you can still tell what is expected of that gear level and whether the player is meeting that metric or not. I think it will help many people, as when it becomes clear to them that they are lacking and a detriment to others, most human beings feel compelled to improve.
