Only if the objective of the group is obvious, if you have no idea why the invite is being sent then it is different.

For some people the objective of the group is more important than the group itself so I need to know what you wish to do before i accept your invite. Maybe I do wish to group with you, maybe I don't, maybe I want to group with the next person that asks me as the tasks that you want to do don't interest me.

If I accept your invite and spend the next 5 minutes finding out that you don't want to do the content that I want to do I have missed an invite from someone who does. Also it removes my ability to choose which group to join if more than 1 is asking for members.

Exactly. If I see people clearly waiting for a quest mob to respawn that I also need, I invite them without a word. They accept - and I say "So we can both get credit." We kill the mob, disband, and move on.

Nothing rude about that.

Click on the invite button is esiest way to add someone to party instead of start talking.

If I see the someone who kill the same mobs as I need it - I always invite him. And rarely it's someone like post-starter who blame me with the wisper "you so rude! I'm never accept inite without 10kB whispers" and so on. Just relax! It's only game. And I'm talking to your by party-chat, just accept to invite the party before.

Think positively, make friendly to other players and everyone be alright.
Yep its a MMO so we should toss common courtesy out the window. I have to agree with the OP 100% only takes a moment to send a PM and ask someone if they would like to join you, believe it or not being social is part of the mmo experience not the Kotor once.

And everybody has agreed with this point including the OP.

The discussion is about when it's not obvious what the invite is for.

So can we boil your and the OP's demands down to:

(1) Don't invite me to a group unless you precede such invite with a detailed explanation on why I would be grouping with you.

**UNLESS**

(2) I want to group but haven't communicated it to anyone yet. Then, the invite without a preceded detailed explanation is welcomed.

That sum it up?

Now THAT'S rude, the invite was totally fine.

If the invite happens again right after the first one was declined, then the person inviting is being rude and I approve your second decline.

Don't decline invites if you can see why the invite occurred. And if you insist on being polite then why don't YOU send a message saying something like "I'm not in a mood for grouping atm" or "I'd like to finish this one alone for more exp".

You just decline, ignore and claim that the other guy was rude because he didn't ask.
Oh please
The words in red is centered around the point I am trying really hard to get through. Many times it isn't immediately obvious. And every time I always whisper them and ASK them "Why are you inviting?" or I say, "Is there something you need?" I never receive an answer....well today I did...the guy said, "Cuz I wanna win." lmao, I'm sorry. If people can't be bothered to be upfront, why would I group with them? Like I said in my FIRST POST, I would have gladly HELPED the guy if he'd just asked for help to begin with, even though I had already finished the heroic. His refusal to communicate to me even after I had ASKED what exactly he wanted made me not wish to group with him.

Please tell me how I am in the wrong here? I will anxiously await your reply.

Takes even far less time to decline a group invite if one is not inclined to group.

Then those guys inviting you are complete morons and deserve a VIP place on your ignore list.

No that's a deliberate strawman representation.

It comes down to:

[1] Don't invite me to a group unless you ask if I am interested in grouping for X (a simple phrase of "do you need changing face quest?" is enough.

[2] unless we are all obviously waiting for the same thing such as a single quest/elite spawn, standing at the spawn point and just need a kill loot credit.

Even in instance [2] a wordless invite would only be required if the mob has already spawned, if you have to wait a few minutes for a spawn it's still polite to ask "wanna group" or something along those lines. I would probably already have asked you myself.
