Just accept the invite if you're on the same quest.

The whole point is: There is nothing else for you to do. I am pwning that area, and you joining me allows you to also make progress, instead of only allowing me to make progress.

Its a daily quest. One that people do over and over. There is no RP factor involved. Its for daily commendations and credits.

No. See? You just don't get it. I'd RATHER stand there, as you say, like a "noob" and do my own thing in my own good time. Because it's my time. And it's my business. You can get your daily done and go take your "uber pwning leetness" out of my face, where it belongs.

Your personality and attitude are like a can of RAID....so 'scuze me while this little bug scurries off to do it's own thing, mmkay?

Have a nice day.

NO! You could be some internet pervert or something, or start typing in leetspeak.

That's just too much to risk to merit grouping with you.

/sarcasm off

Why do people who don't want to group with others even play MMOs?

Again, its about established rules of etiquette.

When you refuse to follow rules of etiquette in your interactions with another person, you are disrespecting them. At the same time, you are basically saying "Hey, I'm special. These rules don't apply to me, because I'm more important!"

Yes, I am 100% aware than in many -- if not most -- cases, that is not the intent of the person doing the blind invite, but if they aren't willing to follow the rules they are leaving themselves open for misinterpretation, and blaming others for their own nonconformity seems a bit irresponsible.

Lots of things tick me off But I am actually a pretty easy going guy. I love to help out my guildies and I often respond to LFG posts in chat. But if I am just running around doing dailys (or whatever) then I don't want to group with anyone.

Um, why do people who don't want to TALK with others even play MMOs?

What?

Would you care to explain the rules to me before I ever engage you in chat?

I assume you wait for evidence before concluding the worst about people.

Because you sound even more self-absorbed than the "uber pwning leetness" guy.

I do talk with others.

I'm just not going to RP a "hey do you want to run X."

I'll leave it at "hey do you want to run X."

Or, if we're in the same area on obviously the same quest, maybe I'll blind invite.

Why not take the chance and find out if I'll talk to you?

Why do you assume that just because I don't want to talk to YOU that I don't want to talk to anyone?

I have a large number of friends in SWTOR, and lots of people on my friends list that I run with all the time. I prefer to run solo for my dailys and when leveling up and alt. I am not trying to be rude, I just prefer it this way. But I do consider a blind invite to be rude.

Sigh. I posted this in another thread, but here it is again. These are guides from several different sources. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with them.

MMORPG Etiquette guide from Ten Ton Hammer:

Quote:
When you invite someone to a group or a guild, have the decency to send a tell first. Don't you want to know what or who you are inviting to where? One of the most annoying things you can have happen is to be running along and for no good reason get a guild or group invite window pop up in your face. I can't emphasize this enough, "SEND A TELL FIRST!" What good does it do a person to join a blind group invite only to have to leave it because they don't want to go where you are going
MMORPG Etiquette guide from Massively.com:

Quote:
I love surprises, but surprise guild invites or group invites from people I've never met always get rejected. Don't be that guy.
MMORPG Etiquette guide from ChrisPirillo.com:

Quote:
Don’t pester people with team invitations. If you want to invite someone, do the polite thing and send them a private message with the /tell command. This allows you to see if they would like to join your team. If they are not interested, or they are doing something else, wish them luck. Sometimes, they wish you luck back. If you invite first, you may end up getting ignored.
MMORPG Etiquette guide from Ezinearticles.com:

Quote:
Before inviting someone to a group, talk to them. One of the biggest pet peeves people have in MMORPGs is the blind invite. When applied to real life, how do you think a stranger would react if you pulled up beside them in your car and demanded they get in? My guess is the cops would be called and havoc would ensue.
MMORPG Etiquette guide from Jedilama.com:

Quote:
Generally, the MMO community considers it polite to talk to someone first before you invite him to a group, try to duel, invite him to a guild, or otherwise initiate an action that will interrupt his play with a little pop-up message on his screen.
