I've see some japanese players asking nicely not to be checked, and all they normally get is "I PAY SUBSCRIPTION I DO WHAT I WANT"
Well, the fact of the matter is Final Fantasy XI allows other players to inspect each other. If they are that upset about it they should probably find a new game. There is NOTHING wrong with satisfying a curiosity or ensuring a groups integrity by inspecting someone's gear.
