I have to admit... seeing ppl check me is kinda funny and in the case of tarutaru its very cute. They turn thier head and look at me.. then turn around or tilt themselves at an angle as to not stare.. and then check. For some reason when a taru checks me i find it less offensive just cause their movements are so cute

He admits it! Jsoft, last time I /checked you, I was wearing a Tunic, and we ALL know how adorable a Taru can immediately become while in walk mode with a tunic! Ye cannot resist! I ask sometimes, sometimes I don't. I figure if it DOES bother someone so much for me to check them, why don't they take all their gear off? That prevents me from getting ANY insight or secret tech from them... if that's the reason they dont' like being checked. Loosen up.

People look at you EVERY DAY in real life... at least in game you can't tell if the looks are out of disgust, admiration, pity, etc... lol I still have no idea why /checking someone can be construed as "rude". Besides, that's what this topic's about anyway, NOT the /tells that follow asking for help/advice/gil.
 
Hehe, this one JP had some really cool looking armor (it's been a while, can't remember which) so I checked him. He /fumed at me, to which I replied "cool <armor>" and then he /smile'd.

That's pretty much the only reason I /check people, and if they get mad and I explain like that, they generally are okay about it.
 
Personally I don’t mind being checked, but then again I don’t really have anything too interesting. As long as it is only a single check I don’t see what the big deal is.

Maybe because it am newer at the game and don’t know every armor I see in the game by sight, my curiosity sometimes gets the better of me and I can’t help but check. I don’t mean to offend anyone by checking out what they have, but if I get the impression that it bothers them I always apologize.

Checking doesn’t have any effect on you and if it bothers you then use the chat filter. But like I said my character isn’t that interesting yet so I don’t get checked out every few seconds like some higher leveled players get.
 
Checking doesn't bother me, but I always ask unless I know the person, am in a pt with them, or am just in a hurry :P.

What does annoy me are those people who do the
"Blahblahbalh Examines you
blah blah blah examines you again
blahblahblah examined you one more time!"

etc...
 
i like it when people check me, i like to show off my gear! When people complement my gear i like it too. i see no reason to ask, but i understand how it gets annoying.
 
Checking doesn't bother me but I always ask if I'm going to check someone else....Sometimes if I get annoyed with someone I usually send them a tell saying "/tell PLEASE stop raping me with your eyes!!!"
 
I think the whole "asking permission to check someone" thing is just stupid. If for some idiotic reason you don't like someone examining you, turn on your /check chat filter. I really don't see what's so rude about it. And if it leads to people sending annoying /tell's, simply blacklist them. Or do what Daroth suggested. XD But anyway, I check people when I see them wearing armor I want to check out, such as relic armor.
 
It doesn't annoy me too much when people check me, just when people do it multiple times. They'll check once .... then a minute later check again and again... I don't get new equipment every minute so why don't they just remember what I'm wearing so they can stop checking -_- I usually ask when I want to check someone unless they checked me first and usually I apologize if I check someone on accident. ... but of course I don't often get checked since I have a habit of running around in all lvl 1 Tarutaru starting equipment...
 
The fact that other people find it rude should be reason enough not to do it. If there's something you really need to see, what's wrong with being polite and asking?
 
I don't think I have had the interest to check anyone in many months out of the blue. Sometimes I will ask to check someone in a party whose performance seems abysmal to see if outdated equipment is their problem.
Then I might reply with something alongs of the line of
"Come on man you're in Yhoater Jungle, time to replace the old Onion sword."
When people check me, it's just more of an annoyance than something that offends me. When someone takes 2 seconds to ask me if I mind, I give them a little more respect.
It's like... if you have a really nice car, you'd want to show what's under the hood. But then, you wouldn't some stranger to just pop the hood and take a peek without asking you? That's how I view checking. Because they are altered to the fact you are checking them, it's more than just looking at them, you should get permission.
 
I may just turn filters off...it just seems kinda creepy to see "so & so examines you"...makes me feel like I'm at the gynecologists office =\
 
I don't mind. I don't do it much though, because many I do check do /blush, which makes me feel bad, like I just told a dick joke in front of their grandmother or something.
