Really? omg

OP, totally sign ... send an invite without asking in the first place is an enormous lack of respect.

To be fair, while I share the OPs view, I do understand some situational usages of the invite. Say for example, I'm fighting some quest target and another player comes by who needs it as well. The target is nearly dead, the chances of it NOT dying before I notice and reply to a /tell is next to none, yet the chances of me noticing the invite is greater and faster. In those cases, its understandable IMO.

See, as a noob, I would never have known people cared about this. I would have thought it would be WORSE to whisper and bother somebody rather than just invite to group, which is an easy decline/accept. Seeing as this game is attracting a lot of noobs...

I think some folks in this thread get mad when someone calls them on the phone expecting them to pick up the phone without first texting them and explaining the details of the incoming phone call.

That's true, but the way party invites just pop up in the middle of whatever and distract makes it annoying. It starts to become a problem when it happens at a bad time (concentrating on a fight or whatever) or when you decline but the person keeps inviting. After that happens, which I'm assuming most of us have experienced, you just look down on such actions.

This totally.

OP Are you kidding me? Whisper you first ? Just refuse the invite. But coming to the forums to ***** about it says a Lot about your personality. RIGID. learn to play well with others..

You make it sound like an insult to send a request...

Geez.
