Examines you.

[Cojika]

The way I see it is, if you don't want to be examined, stay in your Inn room.

This.

If you are that self conscious about what someone else who has no part in paying for your game or playing it for you thinks of what you chose to equip, you really have no business playing an mmorpg. It's gonna happen like it or not and you might as well get over it if you don't want to be in a never-ending state of butt frustration because people keep examining you. I used to have people unequip their gear on XI when I examined them and or try to cry to me about it in which case I would go into troll mode and keep checking them till they stopped switching out and I got to look at whatever I wanted to see. It's not that big of a deal but at the same time but for the sake of the cry babies it's best that the notification of being checked stays out of 14 to avoid the inevitable "omg y u checkin ma gear!!" QQing.

See that may work with one region only MMORPG but you have to consider not all players play like the US so the devs need to consider all sides of the argument when they decide stuff like this. And as we all know from XIV they didn't put it in, so they may as well keep it that way for their own reasons or they may end up adding it in. We'll have to wait and see, but my guess is it's JP MMORPG after all so they will probably listen to JP players demands. It's just a damn text saying XX is examining you anyways... it doesn't really make any difference if it was displayed or not. But SE knows from XI that majority of JP players did no like it.
