For anyone still looking at this thread:

One of the things discussed earlier was the fact that a blind invite will throw a response dialog in the middle of you screen that you have to interact with, distracting you from whatever you are currently doing, and breaking immersion.

While on a balloon ride I dug completely through the preferences just to see whats there and found this option:

Preferences -> User Interface -> Social Center -> Show Invites as Social Messages

For those that didn't know it was there / didn't know what it does ( like me ) this stops the dialog in the middle of the screen and instead gives you a message underneath your chat box instead ( presuming you also have "Attach Social Notifications to Chat" checked ), same as a "you have new mail" message, or a "Friend X has logged on" message, with a check and a cross to accept or decline.

I am a human being. I am not an NPC mercenary there to do your tanking/healing/dpsing for you.

That's why there's the invite. If you were an NPC they'd just tell who to attack and you'd just do it.

You should have said to one of my old WoW guildmasters. He invited and replaced people in raids like they were npc-s.

Reading this, Steamsalot ?
Hard mode: Play Republic
Nightmare mode: Play Republic on a pvp server
Are you man enough for the challenge ? Aunt Satele wants YOU.
Republic. No kids allowed.

If I see you doing the same quest as me and we are competing over mobs, I will randomly invite you. If you don't accept, I will tag everything and cause you to wait to finish your quest. If you do accept, we will both finish quickly. I will never ask you if you want to join my party because I don't care that much. Certainly not enough to waste the time it would take to ask you, get a response, and then invite you.

Thanks for that!
Will definately be trying to find that option and make it work that way instead : )

Or what is more annoying is they blind invite, you accept, and they never communicate at all during the group.

This has happened several times to me. I accept the ninja invite and when I try to find out how we are going to work the mission -- SILENCE.

Sometimes they kill one mob then *poof* drop group and leave as fast as they came.

I wear deodorant and I brush my teeth. Why do these guys act this way?

It makes me want to just solo everything.

OR, bioware could allow companions to be strong enough to fill in missing group roles to reduce the need to blind invite healers/tanks.
