Yup after reading every post in this thread that's exactly how I see her. If someone disagrees with her she either ignores the post or passes them off as being rude.


Last night I was doing a quest on Taris that involved me killing an elite that had a 5 minute respawn timer. How do I know it had a 5 minute respawn timer? Because I was standing in front of the elite reloading my ammo when a I notice a shadow running up to us. I quickly whisper him if he needs "mob name here" for the quest. He then buffs him self and tags and kills the mob with out even responding to my tell. I'm then left standing there like a moron for trying to be nice. In this situation a blind invite would have accomplished what I was trying to do. That or I could have just been a ***** and killed the mob on my own and made the other douchebag wait for the timer.

Blind Invites should never involve having to travel away from the current location. That's when asking is a must.

Has it occurred to you that sometimes a blind invite isn't because someone needs your help, but because they think it would simply be faster with 2 people and they're offering to make it faster for both of you? Or maybe they think you need help and they're offering to help you?

I never blind invite if I'm the one who needs help, I'll ask first. Half the time, the other person realizes I need help and offers with a blind invite. Not that SWTOR has had any times where I've needed to do this. It's all very soloable. It's my experience with other MMOs that I'm mostly drawing upon for this topic.

of course it has occured to me that the person is merely trying to pool efforts and complete a mutually beneficial objective. But this happens EVERYWHERE. Whether I am near a quest hub or not. I don't know why its so hard to understand that some people may not be at the same STAGE of questing. Asking is such an absurdly easy solution. Is it really a big deal to just ask?

flagged and ignored.
If your first reaction is to flag someones post for expressing their opinion that is counter to yours maybe the forums are not the place for you.

ROFL, I have respectfully disagreed with several people. But you have made up your mind. Whatever. I ignored an obvious troll.

Nice xD and fortunately I can see that reasonable and mature people far out number the children.

If I'm out questing in the world and you want me to join your FP, or you need a hand with something and your randomly working your way down the who list, then ask me first.
Yes, I agree, if its obvious were going for the same spawn then, ill accept.

if were out and about and you want to team, ask, I will more than likely say yes, if we are doing the same quests, it makes my life easier.

I agree.

I think the children and immature folks are outnumber too. Most folks just go on their merrier way if blind invited to a group and they don't want to group. They probably won't hold grudges or rage on the forums about it.

So you get so mad that you actually get high on drugs? Cheesing is not something to take lightly. Please don't make these drug references, there are kids on these forums!

The only time I will invite someone to a group that I haven't previously spoken with, or aren't in my guild is if, for example, we're both entering into an area that requires "Kill x amount of baddies." or something similar.

Since we obviously both are completing that bonus quest, I will invite so that we can double up on the kills and clear the area quicker. And then from there if, say, we each have a class quest or something that needs to be done in that area, I'll offer to help them out if they do the same for me.

Sometimes they'll accept and we'll do it, sometimes they decline, which is fine.

I just find it convenient in those situations to be grouped up.


But randomly finding someone by going /who and inviting just because you need help is kinda silly and very lazy. If I need someone to help me with a Heroic, I'll either ask in General chat, or ask my guildies.
Yeah Yeah, it's ya boy Darnell

*sigh* I really do want to give people the benefit of the doubt. But when someone comes to a thread I started only to draw attention to themselves and insult people, adding NOTHING to the discussion, then yes, I will flag them.

You haven't read all of my replies. And also, this guy has been obviously trolling from his first post. And by the tone of your posts, you clearly haven't read all I've said on the thread. I have no problem accepting mass invites if it means killing an Elite mob that eveeryone needs. You are so set on being unpleasant and passively insulting me that you fail to notice that I happen to agree with you.

So you can continue to be close minded and refuse to see when you are wrong. I'm quite comfortable using the forums. Trolls and people who don't know how to pleasantly dialogue with someone with whom they disagree are the ones who have the problem. Thank you anyway for your opinion.

And actually, the rules say to flag people who are specifically trying to start trouble and who are insulting. That's why I did so with the other poster.
