 Description  « Hide
Please correct an apparent oversight in Show Look At in the Client>Character menu. When enabled, it shows cross-hairs in 3D pinpointing avatar camera-view locations. This is especially useful for knowing whether one is being observed by an avatar from afar or at least not in plain view, valuable to those who value privacy or participate in combat sims. There is one serious flaw: It reveals that someone is observing but it doesn't reveal who. This hardly seems intended - your spier knows who you are; why shouldn't you know who he is? I suggest allowing a right-click on the cross-haired point to bring up the same info pie menu you would get if you right-click on the avatar doing the observing; since the observation point and the avatar are already linked, it seems to me this should not be hard to do.

Indeed. A method to tell who is needed, but I don't like your solution

A simpler way, would be to have a line, from the observers eyes, to the point.

A hotkey for this particular feature would also be excellent. I don't want those annoying crosshairs on all the time, but being able to easily toggle them would allow me to check when I want to.

Why not just like a little floating text about the cross hairs of the name of the person. its simple and tells you who is doing it.

There is a counter point to this, while you now can see who is spying on you, everyone will be able to see what you are looking at too. Considerable information can be gathered about you that way.
