It's only fantasy. I still fail to understand why any option in a video game would be offensive. If a offensive comment was made that's a different story. But getting upset that someone checked you is insane. Some people are jerks by nature and some people could be admiring your gear as well. I'm fairly new to mmos, and I've had people check my gear and conplement me, or they advices me that my gear might not be good enough to do a certain raid. I never find it offensive or some should ask before you check. That's just plan insanity. Good luck with that. I will enjoy my gaming experience regardless.
