Saw your new ad (in my Inbox), but your new Gear Guide has too many issues to be useful for me.
1st, it states the values of the suggested new gear incorrectly. For instance, it might say "+143 to armor," but that isn't the "increase" in the armor's value compared to my current item; it's the default value of the armor suggested. That's not a fair comparison in "value!"
2nd, the Gear Guide IGNORES NAMING the type of item it's referring to! It should have been very simple to add "Head", "Wrist", "Shoulder", etc. But, there's no mention of what it's referring to. We have to guess.
3rd, it doesn't state what I might lose or gain in the specs, if I choose to accept the new suggested item.
4th, it does not recognize the existing items on my character(s) properly. For instance, if I have a FISHING POLE (in my Equipment Manager under "Fishing"), it will suggest that I switch that fishing pole to a weapon of some sort. I can't fish with a bow or a gun! Well... I guess I could, if I clubbed the poor fish to death.
5th, the Gear Guide does not distinguish between the items in my game's Equipment Manager! It has no idea of the functions of the different configurations employed. (see the "4th" item, above).
6th, I have armor that is far superior to what the Gear Guide recommends. I'd lose value by letting the Gear Guide automatically change things to what it "thinks" I should use. It cannot (so far) tell if one of my items is equipped with Gems or other enhanced features. I don't think it even looks at my equipped items carefully and in detail?
I could go on with more examples, but there's no need to. The Gear Guide is not nearly ready to live up to the advertisement you sent to me. Sorry.
When I aquire a new item from a 'drop' out in the field, my GUI shows me exactly what I will gain/lose --precisely!... not the generic default values of the new suggested item, but how it compares to what I have already. That's far ahead of the 'new' Gear Guide.
I'll wait and hope for it to be improved enough to be actually useful. I truly hope you keep working on it and finally make it do what it's supposed to do.
EDITED: I forgot to mention another irritating thing. Even after I choose "skip" (because I don't want its recommendation), it will not stop nagging me repeatedly to accept it. Saying "no" once should be enough.
