Though... the question usually isn't which gear is my level, the question is, which one is best. I myself feel like the long winded explanation was always fun ^^ Made the high knowledgeable players feel like they were smart and helpful and the low leveled players felt warmly overwhelmed and now they have a new friend which they'll ask questions to nonstop!
This will be convenient for people just rushing through the game and don't care about stats too much.
