    You can always do it the old-fashioned way and just ask them.

    If you want to know ask.

    I've been surprised by just how well this works. Almost everyone I've asked about outfit /dye questions has responded.

    This.

    It has been a long time but I am pretty sure I recall the devs saying specifically they did not want this in the game. Granted, they added something much more caustic, CP, as we see threads complaining about low CP players getting into someone's group.

    It does. People are happy to talk about their looks and/or gear or where they got that skin/mount/pet from.

    I'm not sure why people feel the need to "inspect" random strangers without their permission.

    You’ll be able to see a lot of this info on PC when the new patch hits in a little over a week. Just activate ESO logs and interact with the player in some way. I’m not sure exactly what is required to initiate logging another character, but if you fight against or with them, or even do something like healing them it should work. When you check the log it will show you all their gear and skills.

    It won’t, it only logs outgoing skills/buffs, location info, and incoming buffs/debuffs, along with the usual and additional damage details

    Now, if their gear provides certain buffs, such as Alkosh, NMG, Sanctuary, Worm, any Trial set (Slayer), etc. that effects themselves or others, then the log will display it if/when it activates

    Whenever I have been asked, I was happy to let them know about what I was wearing and my stats with the build I am using. Asking is really the best way to find out. Not a big fan of someone "Snooping" in my backpack...asking is more polite.

    ...maybe... because people dislike all those "Must be -this- super-effective to join our speedrun PUG" inquisitions?

    As has been said, if you see someone who has something you think nifty, ask them, most will feel charmed eough that someone notices their efforts to make their characters look neat that they will gladly tell you how they got there.

    And for those who don't... as has also been said...

    Also, the outfit system -does- allow to "preview" styles you have not unlocked yourself, all the better to plan your own looks, and know what to farm/trade for!

    And as for effectiveness... that's what guilds and guides are for. People post effective builds on the internet, and more often then not the experienced players in a decent guild will answer questions like "is this setup worth it?" (though personally I always thought it way more fun to try and find out for yourself...)

    Inspect would just be abused by judgmental players to discriminate against off-metas.

    I'd agree to the borderline-pervert 'Inspect' idea if it sent a mild electric shock into the user's hands every time they use it.

    Shocks should get progressively stronger. ;)

    Uh, no.

    There is enough discrimination based on someone's CP level. Tack on /inspect gear?

    EQ used to have that, and it was a double edged sword. You also had to ask someone to inspect them, as otherwise it was rude, and could get you ignored if you persisted. Given the current community of ESO in dungeons, I don't see too many people asking first if this became a feature. It would just be another layer to bolster the toxicity that is already there.

    It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. - Douglas Adams

    I don't want people inspecting my character. Too many elitist d-bags play MMOs.

    This "feature" is not as great as you think it is.

    I'd rather have someone inspect my style over them taking me answering them as an invitation to talk about their life story and trying to be best friends forever.

    I've played other games where inspecting was a thing. It was normally polite to ask before just checking them out, HOWEVER, MMOs have evolved quite a bit and are not nearly as innocent as they once were. In ESO, players have the ability to link their items and achievements and I think this is enough. A player can share what they want to share.

    I would not like this. I did not like it in other rpgmmos with such a feature . It caused issues in other games so why would i want it here. No thank you. A poll would be good for this type of question.

    Speaking of auto-declines, is there any way to see how many you have auto-declined?

    I can only assume all those people who walk up to me, stare at me and then dance around like maniacs until I walk away are trying to kill me.

    Nothing against people who dance like maniacs...

    We dont need it. If you want it, there are plenty of other games.
    Same as fly mounts and water walking one.
    Inspect will lead to one thing- kicking from the grp, and nurishing elitism to new highs. Getting ppl kicked only because they dont coppy the "META"..
    See what dps metter bring to us. PPl dont enjoy the contenet anymore, because they are too busy to hit those 40-100k dps.
    If you want to know what one wear, ask him.
    The fact they expose our account names was shity enough. We dont need more shitines.
    Spare us your silly ideas.
    Sorry and good luck.

    I’m OK with an inspect option as long as players can toggle it off at the character level.

    In case you were wondering, my lowbie level 26 Health Tank runs:

    5-pc Willow’s Path
    5-pc Orgnum’s Scales
    1-pc Chudan

    Wont help. Will lead to "remove annonimous ,if you want to be invited to trial/vet dungeon"
    We dont need such option.
