if you want to invite me to party, ASK ME first.

I always thought the invite was asking...


Think about it in real life terms. Could you imagine? "If you want to invite me to a party, ASK ME first." What the hell do you think the word "invite" means, people?


I suppose if it's not clear what the group is for it's fine to be a little confused. But raging out on the forums? Calling people who want to form groups unsociable? This thread is pretty weird. Try accepting and then asking what's up. If you don't want to do whateveritis, leave the group. Don't act like the inviter is committing some social faux pas because YOU don't want to instigate the conversation.


If someone spams you invite after you decline- that is worth complaining about, I guess.

^ so full of fail i don't know where to begin

as for this i agree, though i've never had the problems of random invites and i've only ever blind invited people when it is obvious we are doing the same thing.

The difference between sending an invite that says "come to my birthday party on the 21st at the community hall, open bar" and "come to the community hall on the 21st". The 1st invitation would get a polite reply and the 2nd would get the waste paper basket.

So blind invites are bad because you might miss someone else's blind invite?

My post was correct and hardly a "strawman". You don't want blind invites unless you want them. You simply couch them in the "obvious" you would want them category.

No I find blind invites bad policy full stop. If I accept an invite and then spend time negotiating with group to include what I wish to do along with their own plans and it turns out that it's not going to happen (which means I will leave) any groups being advertised in general chat I will have to ignore or risk being rude myself by dumping them to join another group that better suits my needs.

This happens a lot to me too, it's awkward to get an invite and no social interaction at all.
It also happens with guild invites, no whisper no asking just a pop up out of the blue.

Haha xD I'll say right now, on these forums I have been very very wrong. I can be sanctimonious and come off as self righteous. I don't think anyone who posts their opinion on the forums is 'wrong' just the delivery can clutter up the point they are trying to make.

Annnnnd perhaps my OP came off as a bit snooty. >.> It is sincerely not my intention to come off that way. I'm actually very laid back and I LOVE to group up with people. I guess the incident earlier today got to me so I RAN TO THE FORUMS!! :O

If you'd read my post, I don't want blind invites at all, but consider a quick blind invite less rude than kill stealing a mob I am waiting for.

Love the subtlety. I lol'd.
