Legitimate reasons why many of you do NOT like Gear Swapping

Being an elitist doesn't make you a self-righteous asshole. Being a self-righteous asshole does. Stop putting every elitist into some "your a fing douche" category. I consider myself an elitist. I do not however care whether or not someone has good gear or not. Only that I do. And I certainly don't try to rub it in thier face. "ohoho i did 1 more damage then you.. hahaha l2p fing noob!" Really...? I don't understand how someone can act like that... elitist or not.

I'd think if that were true you'd have found better ways to make your character stronger without asking SE to add a system they have no interest of adding to the game.

Also, I know devs don't like getting involved in threads where players ask for things, but can we please get a community rep in here to tell the OP that Yoshi has already said no and it's still the position of the dev team that "NO!" ?
