Eq's itemization until around PoP is probably the best in gaming history. For me, that's what separates it from other MMOs - they absolutely perfected the carrot on the stick.

You can tell exactly what somebody is wearing, know where they got it, know what it took to get it, and probably even guess what guild they're in just by their appearance without inspecting them
That reminds me, why did people back in live always get butthurt when you inspected them? I remember starting out and seeing a mage in a cool robe and I wanted to know what it was so I inspected, only to be told this was some huge taboo to do that without asking first. Why though?

If I walked up to you and started fingering your trousers, would you like that?

What’s weird was the cultural paradigm shift in WoW (maybe this eventually happened in EQ) where part of being in the “end game” was standing near the mailbox or bank and watching people ogle your gear

Countless memes and satire vids made about it
