Cringy shit from the good ol' days

In FFXI it was a common courtesy to ask someone before looking at their gear. I wasn't around in classic EQ, was that not also a common courtesy there?

Oh, people asked and people got offended if you didn't ask. Some do so on P99. It was and still is ridiculous.

I never understood this phenomenon. Just inspect, there nothing you can do to stop them or prevent it.

IIRC it started as more of a respect thing, having one chat box and being spam inspected was annoying as hell back then. A silly notion since you couldn't stop it to begin with.

But it's a huge flag that anyone asking before inspecting you is an old school gamer, emphasis on the old.

or kids who believed the elderly when they said it's rude to inspect without asking first.

I remember an old article on EQ Castersrealm that said at high levels you can cast while running.

You could cast, run around, and as long as you ended the cast at the same location it started you'd usually finish the cast. In PvP or mass PVP run to corner, cast, gtfo out of corner, get back before cast ends. As melee hang near corner and pound casters doing this...
