Hey tater, I think you actually agree with us but just can't bring yourself to admit it. The whole argument is people who blind invite. You say we are rude for just declining a blind invite, but you seem to be defending the rudeness of the inviter. If I am not looking for a team and someone asks me to join thier team I will politely respond with "No ty". They well then usually say "ok".

As for duels....... Why would I accept a duel from someone 25 levels higher then I am?

Lol, I just love those. Ppl 20+ lvls higher wanting to duel you...they really need a morale boost, don't they?! :)

As for the blind invites, it depends if I'm flagged or not lfg. If I am, I'll join and ask the necessary questions. If I'm not, I'll decline, simple as that. No fuss, no muss. We all have different things that annoy us, but it's in the dealing of them that matter, not the event itself.  :P

I think this sums up the duel issue pretty well....

BTW, you can block group invites and duel requests in your options.

I don't think I ever called you guys rude for not accepting a invite I just don't think its rude to do it. I really can't bring myself to think something so minor is actually a problem.

I guess I agree with you on the duels because thats when people are just being stupid and want to say hahahaha i pwn u.

Typical WoW baby rant. "Someone invited me to a group without asking me. WAHHHHHHH!"

What do you expect of a game where most of your fellow players are pre-pubescent?

Try playing a game where grouping is not an option. Then grow up.

You are worse than the blind inviters! If they apologize, I think you should forgive them, providing they're doing what you wanted to do.

Blind invites ARE rude indeed. However it's equally rude and also extremely arrogant to think they are not worthy of having you in a group.

If I get blind invites, I generally accept and ask what it is they wanted to do? If they say something I'd like to do, I say "Sure, but would you mind asking before inviting in future?" ... If they're doing something I don't want to do I say, "Sorry, but that's not what I had in mind. Please ask before inviting in future"

9 times out of 10, the person will apologize. Usually it's just a lack of etiquette, not manners. That one out of 10 usually blind invites you because they're an idiot.

I'm not prepared to waste a perfectly good group just because the person lacks etiquette! Worst case scenario, you accept, they turn out to be an idiot after all. You quit, in a polite fashion (Never lower yourself to their level) and get on with your own business. What if they're not rude, and they're not English (etiquette varies from country to country). They blind invite because that is acceptable to them, and they are met with rudeness. You are certainly worse than them

I'm speaking about City of Heroes/Villains here. Maybe World Of Warcraft is different. But then, if a higher percent of blind invites are idiots, I think that's more to do with the playerbase than anything else. In which case, set group invites to auto-decline and only switch it on when you're grouping with friends.

Simple. Grow up HashBrick and remove your head from your own arse.

 I could agree with Tater on theLFG in WOW thing. If Im in LFG , chances are the random invite with no tell is for one fo the dungeons I want to do. In which case it isnt as big a deal. However on random invites when Im not looking for group or asking for a group in general chat ... is rude. I will decline every time. Communication is common sense , If you cant communicate ...chances are you dont have any common sense either. In which case Im better off not grouping with you. Or more times than not its just some annoying kid who doesnt know any better ...which Im also better off ntot grouping with. I used to give the benefit of the doubt and just take it ...btu Ive been burned so many times .....its just a waste of my time to accept blind invites.
