Yeah , there aren't enough d-bags in this mmo yet.

No, there isn't. I'd prefer it stay that way.

On topic: Gear inspection, along with "recount" addons displaying your dps to the group are two things I do not care for, as I have seen what it can do to MMO's with an otherwise understanding community.

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.

[Edit to remove political reference]

No. Absolutely not. Dungeon groups are picky enough as it is, I don't want to spend 15 minutes arguing everytime i run vets with some elitist snob who demands to know why I run Mother's Sorrow instead of Scathing or Defiler instead of TFS, only to get kicked anyway. For the love of all that is holy, NEVER let this be a thing in ESO. Somebody asking what gear I'm running is already a red flag. Giving him the power to check without having to ask is the end of group finder.

I'd love to be able to see the gear others run... but yer right, humans are scum and this would be abused

If you think you can better yourself as a person by getting rich I feel bad for you.

If you see something that looks cool, it's probably a costume.

I dont really care either way and I have nothing to hide.

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."

edit: for those who have not played DUCO, when the Origin Crisis DLC launched, the hardest raid at the time (and for some time after) was Paradox Wave. Soon after it launched (and again...for some time after), a good number of groups refused to run it with anybody who had not completed it. Essentially, you had to have completed Paradox Wave before you were allowed to join a group for Paradox Wave.

Truly a Paradox, but yes that is the problem. You already run into that now even without being able to inspect gear. I don't know how many times I've been kicked from CoS because I haven't beat Vel. How can I beat her if I can't be kept in a group. All people are doing with that is limiting the number of people that can play.

I'm sure they are the ones too that complain that queues take forever.

Crap like what is being suggested is exactly that , crap.

Addons like DPS Meter and Gearscore had a large hand in making WoW the Wussfest it turned into shortly after.

Groups would stand around outside an instance or raid "looking" at one another's gear etc to the point where a group most likely could've ran the damn thing in less time.

Groups didn't learn a thing about group content as noone wanted to risk *gasp* wiping on a boss. It all became about who had bis tems and less about gelling as a team.

So yeah , please ruin this game the same way , please!

Yes, I had this exact same complaint. It took longer to complete the pre-raid inspection and pi$$ing contest than it did to actually run the raids. Let's not to that to ESO.

Competitive, end game ESO guilds have conversations and requirements for gearing and loadouts. If you're in one of those groups, your build, and every one else's will be open and transparent. If you're not competing at that level, people's gear just doesn't matter enough to introduce that level of judgement into your pugs.
