Alright, So the next reason GearScore is superior to AIL is the fact that GearScore actually takes gems & enchantments into account when making its calculations.

Look at the screenshot below. You'll notice that there is a big red "Unenchanted" mark on the unenchanted item, and its missing over 50 points of it's GearScore. However... notice that the Item level of the item stays exactly the same? It doesn't matter if you have 0 gems, and 0 enchants, you'll still have the same AIL.

In addition, PlayerScore will notify you if a player is missing gems & enchants. Just click a player and see the information. So even if you choose to use the inferior, Item Level value, PlayerScore is extremely useful for finding players who aren't giving 100%
