This message is handy (helpful to know it's working when being called from my code); however, can there be an option to have it only show when the addon actually equips gear?

Given it's an edge case, it's up to you. You designed it to always show an output message, so altering the default behavior will push you in the direction of an options menu.

I can understand if you don't want to spend the time working on that; however, it could serve you well in the long run!

Yeah I was indeed hoping to avoid having to add any settings, so for now I'll leave this one open. If more needs arise for settings, then this one will also be included!

I'm going to close the issue as unplanned. If I see you add settings in the future, I'll reopen the issue.

@Saaappi I don't need to add an options interface to make this work. :')

You can now (v004) use EquipRecommendedGear.DoTheThing() to always get chat messages, EquipRecommendedGear.DoTheThing(1) to only get a chat message when new gear is equipped, or EquipRecommendedGear.DoTheThing(0) to never get chat messages.
