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.
I would have thought that the person who was rude enough not to wait for the person who was already camping the spawn to tag 1st (which since the dawn of MMOs has been the unwritten rule of politeness) AND ignored a whisper I would assume that they would have ignored a group invite as well.

KSing is as bad a Ninja looting, such a player would already be on my blocked list. I actually agree with the OP a community is built on communication, which means chatting, talking, polite requests and discussions.

If I am grouped with someone and they say absolutely nothing during that entire time, discussing not even tactics and objectives then I may as well be playing with my companion out and talking to my guild.

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.
^ This.

If the objective is clear for people that are in each other's direct vicinity, no need to talk before an invite. Every other time, please let me know what you want.

I already SAID I am ok with invite spam if EVERYONE in area is waiting for elite boss.

Assumptions are a big contributing factor to the ugliness in the community.
How am I making the thread unpleasant? I just made a general comment about how I handle situations like this, that was relevant to the topic at hand. It wasn't even directed at anyone in particular. If I wanted to be insulting to someone; I would have quoted them first.

From what I have seen so far; The only one making this thread unpleasant is you, and all your pissy responses to people who didn't bother to read every single post on this thread.

It is a matter of being polite. I always find the time to send at least a short line to any person that I am inviting into party. Unless they asked for invite themselves, that is...

It's not really a long thread and a lot of the comments that are disagreeing with the OP tend to be taking the OP completely out of context and digging at her for things she never said.

Exactly, even a whisper of "group for mob?" sent simultaneously with the invite doesn't take more than a split second.

I bet you're one of those people who are too arrogant and proud to be in a group with a person who didn't beg for the presence of your greatness in their vicinity.

Cheers

you've made an assumption about me and you've missed the point.

I will say it again. If that person declines your invite, then they clearly don't wish to party at that time. Nothing more or less. If you consider them rude for declining, then that is a problem you have and not them. I personally find it rude to invite someone without qualification....especially if it's not clear where either player is in the questing process. Again, a simple whisper goes a long way.

Your hatefulness is disturbing. I really am curious why you are directing this attitude toward me when I have a different opinion of what is polite. Many of you seem to fall into the trap of assuming that I am trying FOIST my values on you. It is my opinion, nothing more....it also happens to be the same opinion the majority of the posters on this thread share.

Has lost all faith in BioWare since EA has gutted them and stole their soul. Will never buy another game from this shell of its former self.

*sigh*

pissy responses>? wow. ok, maybe I should give up trying to foster a discussion on any topic. If you say something rude, please expect the person you are being rude to to at least defend themselves.
