Suggestion: Rename the "gear score" term to "character power."

I think that, since your boons also for some reason increase your gear score even though they aren't gear, the "gear score" term on the character sheet should be changed to something a bit more descriptive like "character power", or "power level", or "effectiveness", or something similar. Thoughts?

Yea...umm, you're a tad late on this.

User Interface

• Average Item Level displayed on your character sheet in place of Gearscore will be used to gate character’s from entering some Dungeons and Zones in the same way that Gearscore did. We are still in the process of finalizing exactly what will go into this number and it will be a sum of the item levels of your equipment, enchantments and artifacts.
• Gearscore has been replaced with "Average Item Level".

This is already being tested on the preview shard.

Ok, well I didn't know that. I don't play the preview shard. However, "Average Item Level" is still a term that focuses entirely on just your gear. I still think a number representing all of your character's advantages named "character power" would be better.
