    Default Inspect players gear.

    Will we ever be able to check players gear out? I wish this was in the game!

    seeing other peoples stats is enough as it is and i think should be disabled come pvp. why would you want to see every little detail about a player? planning on copying their build or something? the only reason i bought vanity is for this, to at least keep my armor private. if you want to, suggest an option where you can flaunt out all your equips for everyone to see, but don't make it mandatory for everyone.
    I'm not lazy, I'm just on energy saving mode.

    Seeing as you can do this in pretty much EVERY mmo ever, why would it hurt this one?

    REALLY? EVERY mmo ever (you really needed to all-caps that ever? REALLY??) why would it hurt? WHY WOULD IT BENEFIT? What the heck are those vanities for? You can already see the armor and weapon of a player by default. If you know how to do math, you can also check if its either 20 or 21. The only thing that are hidden right now are the accessories. Can't we even keep that private? Do you REALLY need to know everything? Will you be also asking to be able to check others skill build next? How bout our total gold? Would you like to check it as well?

    I'd never want players to be able to inspect my whole gear build.

    Hence the other point of wearing Vanity, only for Helm/Armour but that's enough knowing Ring/Pendant isn't showing either.

    Still trying to comprehend how 2k+ can die from Barrels O.o

    I'm an open book.

    My gear stinks, my skills probably don't make much sense and I'm broke.

    I just don't see why people would care about players seeing your build. What is the harm in them knowing what you are wearing? My goodness.

    There are people with very personal PvP build that would rather they were secret.

    Hmm really didn't think about the pvp perspective but hmm. Youre right I would never want someone know my pvp build. Pve doesn't really matter.

    why does it matter if they see your gear? are you ashamed? if they message you, you can ignore or block them. If helping people with gear questions makes the game community better then i'm glad to share. They aren't inspecting your talents, that seems more private than gear. especially since there are basically 2 different types of gear per slot, dodge/+armor for helm/armor. Maybe keep rings private if you want, but really who cares. 9/10 you don't know someone is inspecting you anyways.

    plus they put in the ability to gear swap, so when you are just standing in town, swap to a joke set of gear that no one will ask you about or you Nude set

    Exactly!

    If they want to know your gear they can ask. I only tell my guildies and close friends I want to keep it that way.

    Some of us do tons of testing and experimentation in order to figure out what kind of gear and build we want. I don't think it's fair that just anyone can see what we have chosen.

    Right. And when enough people do it and find out which gear set is the best for PvP. Then cookie cutter builds will be what everyone has. So in the end it just doesn't matter.

    What's your catch? Seriously. You want to see all the other players equipment, down to their accessories. What the #$^# for? You keep on pushin for it like its your right. Do you pay for our accounts? Do you supply our gold for pots and equipment? What we wear and who knows what we wear is our @#%^$@# right, so if you want to show yours, shout it in chat or show it in trade if that's what will make you smile at the end of the day, DO IT YOURSELF.

    You make no logical sence. If you can see top players equipment your one more step closer to cookie cutter than if you couldn't.......... I don't see your point.

    Listen people, you can have the best gear in your class and still be a crappy PvPer. Its not the gear amd stats that matter, its how you use them.

    Stop worrying about players checking out your gear & stats. If you can't handle a challenge from another player with the same build (stats & gear as yourself), then you should practice more or find another match for you to fight in.

    Im tired of people acting like "omgz i bestezt!!!" just because of their gear & stats, or even because of their KDR. What makes a player GREAT or hell even GOOD to begin with is how they use their toons. What they have equipped merely compliments how a player shows their skills through strategies. Also, just because someone has a high KDR, doesn't always mean they're a great team player. Could just mean they are all about the LB & don't give a crap about anyone in their teams except for themselves.

    THOSE are the reasons why I believe inspecting gear on another player isn't really a big deal.
