Just was curious because this is the classic experience I had, and people would always ask before inspect. When I was a noob I would always wonder why people would run away once I started inspecting them, or they would say "you can ask first" or something along those lines.

TBH i never really understood why it was such a big deal, but hey, nostalgia's nostalgia, right?

Yeah because that means someone put something in my drink. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's ridiculous
The ONLY reason to ask on LIVE was on pvp..
Inspecting is like a threat, see what he has.. /worth killing and looting.

I accidentally inspect ppl all the time while trying to ninja loot shit but I give no shits when ppl inspect me... BUT... there is a moment of self-consciousness because of my mormon underwear.

Seriously tho, inspect and pity me all you want! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

No one asks here. I just sit there and pretend I am an ape being groomed by another ape.

Actually yes I would. Looking is different to inspecting. Ripping my shoes off to check all the 'stats' like the inside sole, how well the laces tie etc is rude!

Never understood how it was rude. Frankly, I'm not even sure why the game even informs you someone is inspecting you. Big deal.

I always thought people who actually did/cared about this were the biggest lamers ever. I inspect without asking all the time, and I did during live.

Inspecting is caring. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Which explains why I don't.

I've been amazed by the amount of inspection on this server. Personally I don't care, but it is kind of weird coming from a server on live where it was a major faux pas.
