The second i enter a questing area i get invited to a group, several times.
Constantly whispered to do ‘aoe cleave’ runs for dungeons.
It’s gotten to the point where i need to log on to my 2nd account, invite myself, then logout as well as turn whispers off.
I just want to be able to quest in peace for god’s sakes. It’s so annoying. If i want to run a dungeon, I will make my own group through LFG.
My favorite are the whispers I get on my bank alt, a mage above 20 (for blink). Like, I have no plans to leave this city, ever.
Or when I am asked randomly to heal but that’s not even my spec. And again in 5 minutes. They clearly just whisper everyone in /who.
Agreed to give them LFD and stop these unsolicited practices. Same as how you can’t be guildless without getting bombarded with random whispers.
the joy of being on a medium pop realm don’t really have to deal with that type of stuff happening.
Just turn on auto block invites. GG
Ah, yes social activity. Disgusting!
You know you can just get Leatrix Plus and have it block party invites.
People invite in questing areas so you don’t step on each other’s toes.
Don’t deny the invite and then get mad when people steal your mobs.
I do this all the time by whispering people in zones, while trying to form a dungeon group. Usually its the only way to form dungeon groups on my server (no one uses the LFG “tool”). I always do this in combination with spamming LFG chat.
I didn’t relalize it was hurting other players or being rude by doing this. Most players ive encountered are happy to respond and often join the group. In fact, i think 100% of all dungeons I’ve run since level 15 required sweeping every zone like that. Very, very rarely do i get any bites via LFG chat, and I’ve never once gotten a bite using the LFG tool.
What else can we do if no one uses the LFG tool?
Try rolling a paladin or druid. I always got spammed for healing. Then I’d get cussed out for being a DPS spec.
See… thats not what i mean when i say i whisper players and canvass zones. I would never chastise a player like that. Its more like, “Hi there, so you happen to be interested in joining us for X dungeon? We have a tank/healer and we’re at the summoning stone if youre interested.”
I think being friendly and respectful goes a long way.
Hilarious we’re all complaining about this. Didn’t you guys want socialization?
Now you’re mad someones giving it to ya. Lmao, Christ.
Bring in LFD please.
Socialization means the ability to deny others from groups and nothing more.
Go play Skyrim
This happened to me like 3 days ago, I was on this character in Ironforge and I got whispered by a Hunter that was outside of Scholomance, Western Plaguelands asking for water.
He wanted me to go on a 5 minute flight just to be his water boy… needless to say I refused going over to him.
I actually hear of that happening a lot.
Too serious about their farming to get it before going out, idk
I wouldn’t mind if he were in a major city but him being that far away yeah nah, I’d rather not.
Honestly would be surprised for anyone to comply with that request.
I wish I had this problem. My server only has about 1k ally, almost never can get a group going unless guildees happen to be online.
What is the point of this thread? None of those people are on this forum or care.
I can understand that.
I sit in Exodar all the time because I love the goat city and lowbies always walk up to me and say how great my gear is and how awesome my Thoridal looks.
It’s like can you just leave me alone, I know I’m awesome.
(I’m joking).
Can confirm this. I’ll be on my ret and “can you come tank this dungeon?”
uh… Who are you, and no, I’m not a tank, I’m ret
“oh that’s fine we need a healer too” *invites while clearly not reading the word “ret”
Bro I’m dps, and I don’t want to join your group, even as a dps
“bad paladin, we dont need dps” *puts you on ignore
Noted but don’t be offended when people are trying to be social on an MMO. It’s not a single player game (although perfectly viable to play that way) you should be grateful people are trying to include you, even if it’s beneficial them.
