Its a real pain to have to scroll down for every item you want to equip (if you change a lot of gear).
Equip a better helmet... scroll down... equip a better weapon... scroll down... equip a better shield... scroll down... (you can see the pattern). And this can take time if you have lots of different gear.
Maybe the [equip] links should use anchors to take you to the part of the inventory where you clicked the link.
