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.

Nah, doesn't work that way.

Ok really sorry for offended solo players I found wrong words to express my opinion. What I was trying to say is: Play solo if you want just don't expect for your opinion to be prioritized in a discussion about multiplayer things

You're darn tooting I'm going to expect my opinion to be valued as much as everyone else here. I pay for ESO+, and I've bought the game just like everyone else on these forums. We are all players here, and we all have opinions and feedback we're entitled to offer on an equal basis.

Perhaps you should learn to socialize more constructively instead of expecting ZOS to do your work for you.

And everyone just got a little carried away. I wasn't talking about dungeon loot, I wasn't talking about DPS. "Inspect" Is to simply show Character window with an option to open achievements. It doesn't necessarily (hope spelled right) need to show stats.

In your own words:

People should play in groups and interact and stuff

If you, or a raid leader, wants to know someone’s achievements it’s best done through dialogue. Ask them to link them in chat, talk to them about their level of experience. Many guilds require we post our parses and stats in Discord, which is part of the semi-private guild communication, with everyone willingly and intentionally posting their own data to be discussed.

To allow inspection without that interaction and express content will bring toxicity and exclusion to the game. There are plenty of games for that drama already, leave it out of eso.

Also -your written English is quite good.

Like really, does it matter that much if someone starts calling you names on the internet?

I'd like to answer that particular question, because it's an argument that is very commonly used, but is, imho, invalid.

Do you care if the person you talk to "on the internet" are real people with a human intelligence or a or robots with an artificial intelligence ? When you come home in the evening, does it sound the same to you if you're greeted by your wife, or by Alexa/Siri/Cortana ?

Someone calling me "names" in ESO isn't a machine or a couple of pixels, it's a real person communicating with me over the internet, which is exactly the same as face-to-face, or over the phone, or over the email, or over a letter, etc. So yes, being called "names" in ESO isn't pleasant, and definitely not what someone is looking for in a game. Just like it's not pleasant to be called "names" by anyone in the street, or at home, or in the office, or in the subway, stranger or not. And similarly, I don't want anyone in the street to have a look into my handbag, even if I only have a handkerchief and a lipstick in there. It is a true matter of privacy. I don't wnat anyone in the streets telling me to "improve my life" by wearing Dior clothes instead of my usual Walmart clothes, because it's my money and I choose if I spend it on clothes or on holidays or on a computer rig or whatever. Just like, in the game, I get to choose how I spend my time and it doesn't have to be all about improving combat and gear and stats.

If you truly consider people in ESO to be just "anonymous strangers pixels" and you don't care that they behave rudely, then I'd give you a piece of anonymous stranger pixel advice : take care of yourself, and maybe disconnect for a while, because you're loosing touch with reality, and this is affecting your most basic social skills.

Lol, whis might seem rude, but why is everyone such a softie these days? "Oooh respect my privacy!" "Ooooh there will be discrimination about gear" etc etc. How does having gear and colors refer to privacy? Like really, does it matter that much if someone starts calling you names on the internet? If someone says "Wow, you're such a r****d, your gear isn't even orange!" Just block them lol. Elitists want attention and to be approved, because they wasted so much time grinding everything they have. There are, really, two ways dealing with them: 1. get them what they want, start asking questions, admiring them and they might stop being a D-bag and actually be polite. 2. As I said ignore and/or block them.

Edit: again, about privacy. I just don't understand howq is inspecting someone's character is creepy? I'm not watching you naked, I'm nor stealing your passport or credit card data. It's a fake character, there's nothing in the character that directly leads to you and may endanger your safety! (Well, if you didn't make his/her face exactly like yours)

I see it this way. I paid for a copy of this game with my money. I play on an internet connection paid for with my money. I pay for ESO Plus with my money. I have been playing since launch and have invested a lot of my time and effort into the Toons I currently run and learning the game. AFAIAC the characters I have created are "mine" and other players are not automatically entitled to examine them.

I didn't say anything about IRL toxicity. IRL toxicity is a problem that I don't deny and completely agree with, it's 100% unpleasant and horrible.

IRL toxicity is exactly the same as online toxicity. If someone's toxic, they're toxic no matter the means of communication. The internet is a mean of communication just like any other, Making a difference between "online" and "IRL" is nonsensical, and that's where we disagree.
You asked why people are sensitive over things happening on the internet ? I gave you the answer - at least, my answer.

1. Internet conversations aren't the same as face-to-face. I'm not the one loosing touch with the reality here lol

They are the same. Exactly the same. Just like a phone conversation is the same as a face-to-face conversation. People would probably make a difference between the two back when the telephone was a recent invention, a century or so ago, but now noone makes a difference. They're real people talking to real people with real, meaningful words, in both cases.
It's the same for the internet. Wait a couple of decades (or probably even less) and the concept of "IRL vs. online" will have disappeared entirely. People already work together over the internet, meet their soulmates over the internet discuss life and all over the internet, do their shopping over the internet, etc.

2. Since it's not face-to-face there is a big chance you won't stumble upon this person again (+ on internet you can block people)

Wow, you probably haven't played much ESO. The game does a great job at putting people together and encouraging us to interact. ESO really feels like a small village where you stumble over the same people over and over and feel this is a great hangout place for you and all of your friends.
If "online" meant "anonymous/don't care"/never see again" there wouldn't be all the nice stories and friendships, and there would be none of the drama either. Believe me, ESO, while being "on the internet", is full of both.

Seriously, why there is still no inspect feature in this game? This will be so good! Not only it will be cool to look at other player's achievements, but to look at equipment of an expirienced player would benefit a lot of inexpirienced people! Or if you see some cool-looking guy just look up his costume and dyes! I get really annoyed when I se someone and think "I wonder what gear he has" then press "F" and there's nothing there! Or am I, as always, being stupid and at least something from what I mentioned you can already do?

I always tell people and wil even look up the colours etc for them.

I like to be asked - it makes me feel pretty.

I’m OK with an inspect option as long as players can toggle it off

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

If I’m pugging I already don’t care - if I want a fast clear I’m gonna ask for them to link the ach of the clear anyway. *shrugs*

Do you know how many mass kickings from groups there'd be because people don't wear BiS sets?

Ok, this sorted out now on your advices to ask. This was kinda shocking to me, lol, "why didn't I think about this myself?" - I was thinking about reading the first page of the discussion, because I have never< in any game asked someone about gear. Thank you.

Why are you so nosy? Why can't you just mind your own business?

and this ^

well said, all truth.

Another auto decline for you

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...

All of them for me

I can see you naked

i played mmo with that option and it also showed me when someone inspected me. it felt like r4pe. also i keep my builds and gear a secret deal with it.
