World of Warcraft

If you want to duel or group, please take the time to ask, don't just spam me with duel requests...  99/100 I will accept... if you don't you get a decline...  if you spam it more than 3 times, you get reported... a bit of etiquette please...

Ahh the random group invite's how I dont miss them,When I played my priest would get these alot,even after I declined they would just keep sending them,the funny thing is when ppl did ask me to join the group alot of the time I would and on more than 1 occassion I would join a group and the leader would say"I sent you an invite before and you kept declining"when I told him he never asked me 1st or even told me where the group was going some of them just couldnt understand the fact it is nice to ask 1st rather than just spam invite.

Some strange player's out there indeed.

I would accept groupies and ask them what they need and just tell them to ask first, but Id help them out and not be a jerk who keeps declinen , I mean it wont hurt to accept and see what they so urgently need you for It may benefit you in some way you never know.

Who came up with this necessary code of ethics in video games?

Its not a video game code of ethics, it's a simple case of not being rude. Just because I can't reach out and strangle you for annoying me doesn't make it ok. Why do so many people in MMOs seem to think that spamming invites to strangers with no warning is ok?

Most games like WoW and CoH have a way to look for people who want to group with you. USE IT!!!!!

Are you mad? the kinda people who do that don't read forums

Its the WoW community mate. In the majorities eyes, its decline = noob, decline more than 3 times = tard. Theres been so many times i have been insulted, shouted at and god knows what else, purely because i have declined a duel. And even if you win, they will just log onto Daddys account and wtfpwn your butt with some S4 Druid. I'm glad i have left, its a nice feeling.

Btw, i honestly don't think reporting them will make any difference.

Well maybe some people think it is ok because it is not really something your parents teach you in life or is in anyway a valueable skill to learn. Me sending you a tell saying "brace yourself I am going to invite" instead of just being blunt and inviteing you I really don't see the difference. If someone invites you to a group and you do not want to join maybe sending them a tell saying no thanks would do the job, just a thought though.

Nothing against you though I know it is something you believe I have just had people who have had their looking for group flags up I invite them and they decline because I didn't ask first. Come on you got your flag up. When I did this it was in the first mmorpg I played FFXI I don't do it anymore because I know people don't like it but I don't believe in it much.

Its nice of you to say to the player before you invite which dungeon you are actually going to for starters. I used to be LFG for 3 different dungeons, DM/WC/SFK for example. I'd get some random invite, how the hell am i supposed to know what i am getting myself into? Its wrong in my opinion to randomly invite someone you don't know very well. Its funny because they will invite you, so you say hello, they don't say nothing back but say "lets go summon"... its all rush rush rush, probably why they didn't whisper

I know what your saying but come on it can't be that big of a deal, you just send them a message and say whats up
