I don’t tend to check anyone. And when I do, it’s usually people with bazaars, I enter their bazaar, leave it, then examine the players gear. Helps hide the fact that I’m looking at them. I even go as far as to face my character away from the player so that they don’t notice the fact that my character is staring at them. Maybe I’m a little paranoid. :P
As for being examined, I’ve got nothing against it except if you do it multiple times. While standing around I’ll have people come examine me.. continue on. 5 minutes later they’re back, examine me again. 15 minutes they’re back, examine me again. For god sakes it’s not like my equipment is gonna change in the next 30 minutes, quick freaking examining me.
Usually it only happens in dungeons while I’m standing there looking for a party.
