Inspect Button
1 2
Isn’t the solution obvious? When you click inspect it should show you the armor and weapons, but not the stats.
OP is asking for a way of seeing what specific armor parts are because he likes them cosmetically. Just have the inspection work on a cosmetic level.
EDIT: Scratch that, I read further down and realised he got all immature about people disagreeing with him and WAS talking about seeing their stats. This counters the design philosophy of the game.
Cosmetics, yes, I’m all for inspection. Stats, no. Your assumptions are not reality.
Hey, I am actually for a cosmetics inspect, rather than a stats one, I just got annoyed that everyone was saying no on a stats viewing basis and the only valid reason they were giving was elitism. I also was in a bit of a bad mood that day with a dungeon because my team sucked real hard and it took me 3 hours to do a dungeon that usaually takes 40 minutes to an hour. Originally though my idea was for a cosmetics inspect button. As I said I just got a bit carried away with arguing.
yep, i’m gonna use the “i” word. idiot threads like this make me even more happy i don’t pug. here’s a scoop for ya — my guild runs dungeons with anyone, in the guild, who wishes to come, playing whatever they wish to play, and however they wish to play.
uhmazingly, we complete the dungeons! oh, and our best run so far has been the run with two necros, a mesmer, and two thieves.
skill counts for far more than people want to give it credit for; teamwork counts for even more.
This guy wins the thread.
lol, thanks — gal, but the idea’s the same!

blaze, pugging is/can be painful. if it’s not elitists, it’s folk who’re new to the game, or the mechanics, or just casual … whatever it may be. again, i won’t pug for these reasons; the only time i pugged in other games was when i was either healing or tanking, BECAUSE i was in a position to not have to deal with elitist jerks, and happen to have a LOT of patience for working with folk who’re new, or learning how to play, or what-have-you.
i can understand wanting to see gear for the purpose of identifying it visually; i’d recommend going to dulfy and viewing there or, if she doesn’t have the gear yet, find out how you can help her GET the pics of the gear she puts up on her site. another tool i find eminently useful is the pvp locker — i’ve found lots of sets that way when folk don’t answer my questions. beyond that? i’d just as soon not invite a way in for elitism to rear its ugly head even more than it already is. you already have pundits who’ll tell you the “best build” and the “best gear” and so on and so forth, which completely changes gameplay for many casual players, who just want to … well, they just really wanna have fun.
my first recommendation for this is always to find a core group you can run with, that functions the way you do. my second recommendation? if you pug … try offering help/assistance/guidance, rather than getting upset. experience has taught me that there’s a wealth of good feeling available from being in a position to guide and help, rather than just run through, and it can make a harsh (i.e., three-hour-long) run a little less harsh.
wish you luck!
