Some people think the entire world revolves around them both in game and real life. They see you as merely a tool to use to get what they want. No please, no thank you, just drop what you're doing and appease my needs right now and if you don't then your an *expletive deleted*.

I ignore all blind invites, I ignore any requests for obvious power levelling help, I ignore all requests for gear, weapons, cash, as I have learnt my lesson a long time ago that there is never any pleasing those people nor will they ever be grateful for your help.

I've had far to many players whisper me out of the blue and ask for millions of credits then complain that no one is willing to help out others when I say no.
The random invites to group with out a whisper kinda bothers me too. I wish these folks would understand that I got to lvl 55 with full Dread Forged gear because I earned it and they need to earn it too. They aren't entitled to gear and $ just because they play the game... They need to earn it too.

Whenever I am standing in front of the flashpoint terminals on the fleet someone asks me to do a flashpoint for him.
They are group content for a reason and I don't have time to help everyone with his flashpoints. Especially since there already is a group finder.

Honestly I'm kind of fascinated in how someone could even ask that. Maybe its a personality thing for me. If I ask for help its because I really need it, not because I want a high level player to help me level. If I can't beat a foe I try to figure out what I'm doing wrong or go off to level up on other missions/get better gear, etc.

I don't like power leveling players because of that. They want to be max level with cool gear but don't want to do the things that achieve that. They even accuse you of drama when you mention it.

Yeah, sadly this stuff happens from time to time. I had a guy who wanted to team up for a Kingpin mission and after I got all the way over there and without saying a word, he dropped the group right before he triggered the Kingpin. He expected me to basically just kill the boss for him and get no credit for it. On another occasion, had someone send a blind invite near an event location and I accepted because I assumed this person just didn't want to fight over the mission objective. Then, he proceeded to try to drag me all the way to the other side of the planet to help him complete some random mission, which I obviously had no interest in doing. My favorite one though was the guy who was level 30 on Nar Shaadaa with starter planet gear and couldn't finish his class missions and was begging for someone to carry him through them.

If you were different levels for the kingpin, he might have been popping it at his lower level with the intention of re-inviting you. (I believe if you re-fellowed you would have gotten credit too, not positive though.) If you stayed teamed for the pop, it would be the level of the highest team member and he might not have been able to contribute that way.

I'm in the last parts of my sith assassin story. I go to Korriban to do my class mission there at lvl 54. I could probably have finished a few other missions and gone as 55, but I digress....on my way to the council chambers I get a whisper from a player I have never met that says "Hey can you help me plow through my missions here so I can level fast?".

I hate that. I'm no big fan of power leveling, but if others do it, that's their business. What irked me is why ask someone you don't know? Do you think I logged on and decided to go to Korriban with my high level character just 'cuz? That I want to spend my time following you around on missions that I've done myself, will offer me nothing just because YOU don't have the patience to do them?

I suppose it bugs me the most because back when City of Heroes was active I had several times where low level players would straight up ask me for 100,000 influence (that games version of credits, or gold if ya like) or to powerlevel them and then have the friggin' nerve to get angry if I refused. (Not kidding...I was actually shocked that someone would get so angry because I didn't want to GIVE them my in game currency or basically follow them around and help them do missions far above their level)

I can understand asking for help, but honestly what this guy wanted was for me to run around and kill everything for him. I wouldn't do that for a guild mate, I sure won't do it for someone I have never even seen.
Actually, there are plenty of 55-ish characters just standing around on korriban waiting to RP in many cases and that's why you got the whisper most likely.
Because those guys help others plough through their starter missions just to pass time sometimes.

Thank you, OP, and others in this thread.

I don't feel so alone anymore

Policy: Never accept blind group-invites, and we've just seen a whole pile of reasons why you shouldn't.

What always leaves me just flabbergasted --no word of a lie, I'm IRL gawping at my monitor going "No. You did NOT just say/do that???!!"-- is the sheer, unmitigated gall of these people, expecting you to be perfectly alright with carrying them through content that, in a lot of cases, is 100% solo'able, by design.

It's like they expect you to fully acknowledge their entitlement whilst completely ignoring your own needs/desires/RL time-constraints, drop everything of your own that you're doing, and make your game revolve completely around them.

That's just...Gods, that just beggars words.

Minimum-drama solution:

As stated, never accept blind group-invites, but also, just turn gen-chat off. Can't respond to whispers from these parasites if you never see them in the first place, now, can you

Well, depending on my mood, I do one of three things. I say either. 1) Sorry can't help you, I'm busy. 2)Stop being a lazy jack ***** and earn your own way. 3) Say nothing, and put them on ignore.

Number three is a suprisingly relaxing option. No back talk, no begging or name calling.
