A player chooses to 'Inspect' another player to view his armor, shield and weapons. Note that this only applies to those players who checked 'Allow Full Inspect' in their Character Options. 'Inspect' HUD opens up. Under 'Equipment' tab there is a visual representation of the players Knight, icons on the left showing players equipment and a little arrow that opens up 'Gear Stats' and weapons window.

This window is the issue here and the reason I'm writing this report.
The purpose of 'Equipment' tab, including 'Gear Stats' and weapons window, is to display stats of the Knight who is being inspected. 'Gear Stats' and weapons which are displayed are not the stats nor weapons the inspected Knight actually has in his possession. Instead this window is showing stats of the player who is doing the inspecting of another player's Knight.
Or to simply put it, instead of displaying equipment stats of a Knight you wish to view, it displays YOUR OWN equipment stats.

Everyone can check this error themselves.

Now onto IFS:
- What if this was on purpose in order to compare your own Knights gear with the gear of another player's Knight?
If this is the case, then it's poorly done. In order to do that now, you would need to mouseover the icons for every single piece of weapon and armor in order to start comparing with your Gear Stats, which in itself wastes a lot of time. Furthermore, when you mouseover a piece of equipment, it's details will be displayed on the left over your stats data, almost completely covering it up so you can't see anything, making the process of comparing impossible.
I do not believe this is the case though, it's most likely a simple programming error.
