Checking others w/o asking? Rude or not?

Re: Checking others w/o asking? Rude or not?

i dont mind people checking me, kind of shows that people are interested in what you got, and if you have good gear you definetly shouldnt mind =P

Agreed. Personally, I don't see what the problem is. I check people all the time, because it's an option even the lowest lvl person has in this game. If it were really considered rude; first, I doubt that anyone would be able to do it; and second, I don't think that anyone would. Who's to say why other people check people? I can't tell that they're checking me because they're gear nazis, nor because they're just starting out and like my gear.

Honestly, you guys are acting as if the "XXX examines you." were all in caps and spanned multiple lines. I don't even notice it anymore, and if you can't do that, set your config to ignore it. No one is doing it to really be rude, and unless you come up with an actual reason why it is, people, like myself, will continue to do so because it is a harmless gesture.

I will check people because I'm curious, but I'll get a good look the first time. It is weird to spam check.

I disabled the check and bazaar messages ages ago. I simply do not care.

I really don't think that it's rude to check people once. Maybe twice if you missed something, but after that, you're just being a nuccance.

I really don't see how anyone can consider /check to be rude. It is possible to filter it and it's not like they are "undressing you with their eyes". If anyone thinks it's rude then they obviously care too much. I find that some people react the same way when you /check them without asking as they do if you were to pull out their wallet and start looking through it.

Re: Checking others w/o asking? Rude or not?

I just avoid the issue altogether by turning off my check notices, and not checking anyone else. If I can't find the info that I need via /sea all Name, then I don't really need to know it.

Besides, I can generally tell what job someone is by what visible gear they're wearing.

50 check messages : happy smiling kitten
50 /t can I check you ? : wild tiger in town

I see /check like the fonction that fills the gap between what you can see on your screen and what your character can see from his point of view, even wondering why SE put a message displaying on the target's screen.

I find it funny when someone get upset just because I wanted to know the name of that armor he is wearing, I guess he sold every other items he was having to buy it, so now he is wearing not so "good gear" and wants to hide that.

But yeah, it maybe comes from my server's general behavior, peoples use to display things in bazaar for 99M what I just find dumb if it s just to show off.

I can't believe this thread is so long lol. SE implented the /check feature to check people, that's my opinion, nothing else to say it. If the Examining message is annoying, turn off the filter.

Re: Checking others w/o asking? Rude or not?

How is that supposed to be rude? Honestly, people need to get off their pedastels.

You can filter it. Choosing not to means you wish to see it.


It's as simple as that.

Re: Checking others w/o asking? Rude or not?

I don't mind being checked but I do mind people making rude commits about where I should be based on my LVL & gear. Once I was leveling solo in the dunes and someone yells at me in the public /tell that at my LVL I should be in Jeuno and I told them that was non of their biz and then someone else started yelling at them about that being rude and just riping them a new one. They yelled at them so bad that they logged out right then. I don't like people being rude but that wasn't right ether.
