Default PSA: the plural of "gear" is "gear"

Help me save the server from this grave grammatical gaffe. You never "get some gears" unless you're shopping from Bom Knotwood in Steamfont Mountains. When talking about a single item, it is correct to say "a piece of gear" or simply "an item." Not a gear. Talking about two items? "Two pieces of gear." An unspecified number of items? "Gear." "I hope you get some gear." "You've got great gear, man."
Example of a person asking about this, and the answer.

So unless you're working on your Tinkering, I don't want to hear the word "gears" come out of your pixelated mouth!!!1!
