Hahaha
I always get a kick out of people that believe inspecting is rude. Ohh, and I surely know both sides of the arguement by now as well.
I play on a non-pvp server and some people there think it's rude too! Ha!
The reason you can inspect is because the graphics models of the players do not accurately show the items you are wearing. This is a limitation of the technology. So, they let you inpect so that you can see what you would be able to see if current 3D technology allowed it. (or, if you were standing next to this person in 'real life' on Norrath, and by 'allowed it' I mean higher resolutions models, more memory for all the textures, etc.)
If you're wearing expensive stuff it should be visible.
Personally I think it shouldn't even tell you that someone is inspecting you.
Well, when the day does come when every item on you shows right on your model, or at least to a fairly accurate degree, then there will be no shortcomings in the 3D engine to hide behind, and they can remove inspecting.
