I say Nay, most of the time I am looking at a piece of gear and inspect the player because I want to know what the actual item is, not the stats. Was annoying in another MMO I played, I would see someone else in some snazzy gear and want to know how or where I get it. But without even the name of the gear, and the fact that a lot of player with privacy on ignore or mouth off when asked, it makes it harder to strive for a piece of gear you saw.
