No, it's nothing like that at all. You can't reasonably equate someone using an in-game ability without your permission to someone violating your personal space and touching you IRL.

If we were not meant to be able to inspect people without their permission, it wouldn't have been implemented into the game without a way for players who didn't want to be inspected to elect out in some form.

What it evolved into after this is both player-made and completely stupid.
You're violating my personal space in game, and the game lets me know by giving me a message that you're doing it. I think the fact that there were a lot of players that decided it was an invasion of personal space is just another part of the community that made old MMOs what they were. It created a grey area which sparked debate that brought the entire population closer by giving them the ability to decide right and wrong use of a feature. The very fact that there is something for us to argue about is what makes it so awesome.

Anyone that got offended by it, other than the handful of roleplayers who started it, were only offended because it was socially acceptable to be and made them feel a tiny bit superior. *cough* (tumblr)

Point taken, you're right it is a way of setting myself up on a pedestal. One day I'll decide what my new pronouns are, still haven't worked that out yet, struggling with my inner self

Or just use /toggleinspect off and people will stop mistaking you for a self-important narcissistic twit.

I was referring to myself as the one being inspected, not as the inspector in question.

:derp:

Sorry, I meant you should turn off the stupid message (dunno if it's in options pop-up only or if there's a command for it.) That is one of the most useful spam filters in the game. You have only yourself to blame if you see "Soandso is inspecting you" messages. Nobody's invading your space, it's all on you. You're looking for something to be offended by, and by golly you found it.

There's more than plenty of stupid shit in the game design and other players' behavior that is completely unavoidable. Why are you inviting idiot spam that you can ban forever with a mouseclick? You have the power, you have the control, yet you insist on using that power and control to shit up your own gaming experience. Why do you hate yourself?
