[Chaos]

There has been a lot of complaints over how the Equipment Tab allows people to see what you're doing and take advantage by swapping their equipment on the fly. This is a very valid concern, not only for the whole 'abuse' part, but the lack of explanation as to why, for instance, a character threw off their Ninja Suit and then donned a Bodyguard with no visible notice.

I would like to suggest something that can work towards solving this issues: Whenever someone equips or changes their non-Weapon Equipment, a relevant message is displayed for everyone within a moderate distance:

"____ swaps out their armor."
"____ swaps out their gloves."
"____ swaps out their shield."
"____ swaps out their shoes."
"____ swaps out an accessory."

While it would not be an absolute solution, it would make attempts to take advantage of your opponent's equipment on sight impossible without letting everyone else know, while also making sure that people aren't completely blindsided by someone going and swapping their outfit without notice.
