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

Exactly. Had that happen when I was waiting and someone behind missed out and was halfway done typing to ask. I felt so bad killing the mob without them. I would have rather they just blind invited in that situation.

If someone invites me without asking I will instantly refuse and probably ignore anything they say after.

This is a very VERY inventive jumbling and rearranging the words that I have said over the course of the entire thread. Grats! xD

Now then, if you would like to contribute something meaningful and constructive, I would LOVE to hear it! I want to know WHY you disagree with my point of view. I seriously and really and truly do.

I usually hate blind invites but this isnt a big deal here in this game. I always get them from some player nearby who is doing the same quests as me so why not. Its only a problem if youre being recruited for specific content that you have no intention of doing like a FP or heroic. If I cant see you tho Im much more likely to just decline immediately. Blind guild invites are entirely ignored.

I will say that group quest turn ins/dialogues drive random group members crazy tho lol. One would think they could use the social points, but they always drop and there goes the group.

This X 1000. Really, people, is it so hard to try to see the other person's point of view?

There are people who have a different view than mine, and I'm not going to post that I don't care. Because I do, in fact, care. Even if we disagree, the fact that we can expend a tiny bit of energy respecting each other can help compensate for our differences.

When I am waiting those bonus quest bosses to respawn I usually wait my cds so I don't attack as soon as boss respawns. So there is a lot of time to type. This also leads to situations where someone else attacks boss I was waiting to respawn.

Many of the best moments of my life have started exactly like this, including meeting my fiancé!

A little spontaneity can make life much more fun!

I would much rather live in a world where someone felt that they could approach me and take a blind chance than to have everyone live in fear of broaching decorum.

Wow, I had no idea this was proper etiquette, but it makes sense. The few times I have invited someone blindly, it was because they were ahead of me going into a non-instanced, class nonspecific quest area that only had one objective and I didn't feel like fighting over mobs. lol. I will definitely give this thread thought next time. Thanks OP!

It's honestly faster and could mean others getting credit or not if they invite and then explain later, I do this and if it offends you... I guess i should of just jumped the mob before you got the chance, since that wouldn't be as rude as trying to share it without writing anything out.

Sigh. Guys, that exact situation been addressed in this thread several times now. And you're both right. Also: no one, not even the OP, is saying that a blind invite in that situation is wrong.

Can we please move past that now?
