And I'm not mad at anything all, soloing is a perfectly valid way to play the game. But if you're getting upset because someone with good intentions is trying to help you, and the only thing that's affected by it is your personal ego? I think you need to not be so bothered by it.
why should anyone have to conform because of your perceived majority lol, you should just leave them alone unless they ask for help.

we get it, you 'help' us because you are god and have some right, when people do that to me i hop onto my pub and kill you, or follow you all day and pull mobs onto you, its what i call fun.

Do the people who want to solo unless implied otherwise feel the same about open world PvP?

If someone sees you fighting with 1 or multiple members of the opposing faction, should they assume you want to try and solo them and send you a whisper and wait for a response before joining in?

What about someone walking past and using their class buff on you, is that interfering with your immersion and shouldnt' be done unless prior agreement is given?

What about chucking someone a heal just as they are about to die?

What about sending someone a group invite? Surely even sending them a whisper is ruining the fact that they want to be playing the game alone and someone is making an assumption that they are happy to receive the whisper?

I understand your ire, republic players suffer it seems from the uncontrolable need to be heroes. If only in their own mind. I can solo 150k champs on level with my tank, and I can't tell you how many jump in. One said "I should get part of the loot I saved your ..." Yeah right sparky I was fine, and didn't ask. Imperial side is way better. They don't seem to care which is 100% fine with me.

Yes, I would.

It's not against the rules for someone to think you're in trouble against an elite, and jump in to help you without sending you a tell first.

Quite frankly, deal with it.
By same token, I have right to yell at you for interfering.

Except verbally abusing other players is against the ToS and can result in you getting banned.

Helping someone kill a mob as a one off whilst they're passing and thinking you need help, isn't.

So no, you don't have that right.

Telling people to go away and leave my mobs alone is not being verbally abusive.
