I suppose it's only inevitable someone adds something like this....proof that you didn't read the thread and follow up comments.

I already SAID I am ok with invite spam if EVERYONE in area is waiting for elite boss.

Assumptions are a big contributing factor to the ugliness in the community.
Wow, just like in game, you want to control how people do stuff of the forums..... interesting. Explains some things.

If I'm out questing in the world and you want me to join your FP, or you need a hand with something and your randomly working your way down the who list, then ask me first.

By quest hub, do you mean at a safe village? I'd agree that blind invites there are rude. But a quest location, that's something else. If you are just standing idle at the entrance of a Heroic, why would you be surprised at blind invites? Any other place than the actual quest location, I think it's rude to blind invite for it. Blind Invites should never involve having to travel away from the current location. That's when asking is a must.

Has it occurred to you that sometimes a blind invite isn't because someone needs your help, but because they think it would simply be faster with 2 people and they're offering to make it faster for both of you? Or maybe they think you need help and they're offering to help you?

I never blind invite if I'm the one who needs help, I'll ask first. Half the time, the other person realizes I need help and offers with a blind invite. Not that SWTOR has had any times where I've needed to do this. It's all very soloable. It's my experience with other MMOs that I'm mostly drawing upon for this topic.

I was doing that heroic +2 on Ilum alone, guy approached me, invited without question and I accepted him in group.
Quest was over before I knew it, I thank him, he thanked me and we went our ways.

Then again, when I invite someone who's doing those heroics alone they just decline and then I'm the rude one for inviting without asking?

I bet you're one of those people who are too arrogant and proud to be in a group with a person who didn't beg for the presence of your greatness in their vicinity.

That's the feeling I am getting from this thread.

I really dislike it when people just invite me to groups. I like them to tell me what they need before inviting me to a group.

ROFL this is typical

all it explains is that I am expressing my opinion and POLITELY asking people to not be insulting.

flagged and ignored.

And I can't express my opinion? I think this response reinforces my previous comment.

"My way or the highway" is not really opinion, in my opnion that is.
