Kyle that last part didn't make any sense. Could you clarify?
Wasn't it WoW that allowed you to inspect gear of others before any other mmo?
This creates elitism
We need to be able to inspect each others gear. This creates elitism. Some want the element of elitism and some do not. To prove my point that it is beneficial to the game, just look at the social class system. We have poor people, middle class people, and rich people. By having this class structure, we strive to better ourselves. We have no way of knowing if we are keeping up with the joneses by keeping gear private. If people enjoy being poor then that is their prerogative and they can mingle within their class. In conclusion, Elitism spawns from the ability to inspect players gear. Elitism is a mechanic that is desperately needed in this game even more so than an auction house.

yeah....nah.
Gear inspection leads to the DCUO Paradox paradox.
In ESO terms, we'd end up in a position of "Oh...you want to run White Gold Tower? Wait, you don't have SPC gear. No. No WGT run for you. Come back when you have SPC gear."
Eh...SPC and WGT was the first thing that sprung to mind.
It could just as easily be "Oh...you're wearing crafted gear? *kick*".
The end result is that people get kicked for not having the right gear.
This sort of elitism (for want of a better word) may already happen...but I'd put money on it becoming more frequent if gear inspection was available.
