Stop inviting me without asking if I wanna group first

  1. It’s rude just sending an invite before greeting someone if you have any kind of courtesy (I don’t wanna have to instant decline and feel like I’m being rude myself) 2. I probably don’t wanna group…even though this game was built with groups in mind, most of it is casual when compared to other hardcore older MMORPG’s and the exp cut isnt worth it IMHO. Nonetheless wow is one of my favorite games of all time probably…lol. Moral of the story: Spark a convo at least before sending an invite…lol

That’s pretty a weird thing to get upset about. I personally like when people insta-invite to party if we’re in the same area doing the same quests.

I mean, this will probably make questing more difficult than it has to be, hard to meet people too

I’ll get randomly invited or randomly invite myself if it’s very clear we’re after the same quest objectives or mobs, y’know, to get it done

Isn’t worth it to group? U wot m8? On behalf of Rogues I apologise for this man’s conduct. The rest of us love to group, because it give us free strikes to the back of our enemy. Thank you.

The only thing I sort of agree with is at least ask first. 99% I’ll say yes.

I get that it’s rude, but enough to complain about it on the forums?
Also, sometimes there isn’t enough time and frankly i’m just being nice inviting you as you approached the named mob on my quest while it’s nearly dead.
Most of the time before i’ve engaged I’ll do /s and ask if they’re on the quest, the typical reply is inv.

Act first, ask later.

Also a good strategy with women.

Wait…

I try to talk first but if you’re about to murder the named I need I will invite first.

I usually only get an invite without any communication when I’m killing something that someone else needs as well and I’ll instantly accept. I’m all about helping my brothers and sisters level faster. If I get a random invite and I’m not killing something, I’ll accept it and spark up a convo myself. I suppose I understand why you think it’s rude but I’d say use the opportunity to just chat with people.

The only time I send an unsolicited invite is when I see you’re engaging a named quest NPC, and I don’t want to wait 10 minutes for a respawn.

It’s usually unsolicited because if I have to type out a greeting, followed by a polite request, it will more than likely to be dead by the time you read it.

That said, I feel as if most people will understand by social cues alone, why they’re getting an invite out of the blue, by a random dude whos standing next to the guy you’re killing for a quest.

Similarly, if I’m waiting for an escort quest NPC to respawn, and I see anyone coming to wait in the area as well, I’ll throw an invite. Again—I feel as if this is an obvious social cue, but if this is considered rude, I apologize. I feel its far more rude to not invite, and then stroll off with the NPC leaving you waiting for a respawn.

I think it’s more rude to be invited to a guild that you no nothing about, even the stupid name they picked…

I usually invite or get invited to the party when we are killing the same mobs, no one has time for pleasantries when you’re surrounded by the mobs…

I hate when I’m clearly out grinding a group and they toss an invite as if I’m to take an exp cut and let them in my loot? If the mobs aren’t red it isn’t worth teaming.

I tell people “no, this is a gathering quest, it will be slower in a group” or “sure” if its a kill thing or boss or escort quest.
