Template:Gear inspection
Players will have a buff on their nameplate that indicates the gear set they are wearing. Other players will be able to see this buff by targeting that player at a distance.[1][2][3]
- This will indicate the type of gear (cloth, leather, plate) that they are predominantly wearing.[2]
- The border will indicate the level and quality of the tier set.[1][2][4]
- This also indicates if the gear is enchanted.[2][4]
- The developers believe that inspecting gear to obtain an exact equipment list or gear score may lead to "unwelcome behavior".[5]
When you see a player approaching you and they're wearing a transmog you know you don't know if that person is a high damage mitigation against physical damage or against magical damage and essentially the way we overcome that is through you being able to target a player at a distance and they will have a buff that's present on them that you will see, which indicates that essentially the piece set that they are wearing. It is important for players to be able to ascertain from a threat assessment standpoint you know what they're going up against if they're actively checking that and that will be available.[3] – Steven Sharif
Being by default able to see a person's "gear score" / equipment list... may cause unwelcome behavior.[5]
