^ MR is the easiest indicator of what gear a player has access to and possible experience with. It's also a safe assumption that a player with higher MR is more familiar with the games mechanics and able to perform tasks with little guidance. MR2s have access to some very basic gear and usually very basic mods unless they were gifted/bought while someone who's MR12 has access to pretty much all gear in the game and most likely has a slew of 'essential' and rare mods actually leveled.

It's easier to say what your MR is than to run down every neuance of your loadout. You may be content with carrying undergeared players though a raid but most aren't and stating your MR lets other players get an idea of how experienced and prepared you are for the challenge you're seeking.
