I can't quite say why. Maybe it's that even if we weren't trying to actually help each other, we were at least not in the way of each other.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-68562061547362198542013-02-15T23:21:34.294-06:002013-02-15T23:21:34.294-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-44414079010958818462013-02-15T08:09:52.045-06:002013-02-15T08:09:52.045-06:00Well, you're absolutely right, Klepsacovic. Ma...Well, you're absolutely right, Klepsacovic. Maybe the devs <i>could</i> add a requirement that at least one message be sent each way. Blizzard's "helpful hints" displayed suring login already mentions how rude it is to send someone an invitation to group without first talking to them. Perhaps it's time to give that hint teeth (on the other hand, mid-battle isn't a great time to start typing).<br /><br />That could also <i>start</i> to address your other worry, that grouping isn't social. In GW2 grouping happens automatically, and although it may be as silent as a WoW dungeon party, it still seems more sociable, because you are helping each other without anyone forcing you to. In other words, you are being helped by people who want to help you, and in turn this makes you want to help them. Conversations start. <br /><br />It happens in WoW sometimes, as well; but in WoW nobody really needs much help.Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-26868158086060077472013-02-14T00:34:49.748-06:002013-02-14T00:34:49.748-06:00"...and possibly distracting them when they n..."...and possibly distracting them when they need to be on their toes."<br /><br />Maybe that's their intent - to distract you, make you stumble, so that you would eat an insta-kill AoE and let them grab the mob uncontested.Ephemeronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403198085556121203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-19188271610860585652013-02-13T10:09:25.516-06:002013-02-13T10:09:25.516-06:00@Dàchéng: Exactly!

Maybe the devs could add a requirement that at least one message be sent and replied to before a group invite can be sent.<br /><br />Oh, you meant the group thing. I don't see how the grouping in this context is social. It's two people in the same place with some lines of code tying them, not a social interaction.<br /><br />@TheGRumpyElf: If someone were after the achievement and said so, well then I'd gladly invite them.<br /><br />@Edawan: I don't see how needing an achievement that isn't even hard to get, justifies annoying other people and possibly distracting them when they need to be on their toes.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-10220715774770339862013-02-13T09:04:36.692-06:002013-02-13T09:04:36.692-06:00Why so grumpy ?

That is flat our rude.<br /><br />I have had, on a few occasions, someone post in say they need a rare for the achievement and won't roll, and I invite them. Not because I need their help, I am a hunter and could solo them all with my eyes closed, but because I am a nice guy... once in a while.<br /><br />As you said however, them sending you the invite should get a reply of fuck off because that is just rude.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-47889680240367665512013-02-13T06:37:29.772-06:002013-02-13T06:37:29.772-06:00It's a sad relection on the WoW developers tha...It's a sad relection on the WoW developers that they encourage anti-social behaviour instead of the opposite. It doesn't have to be this way. Developers could reward you for grouping instead of penalizing you.Dàchénghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994982502333811797noreply@blogger.com
