Let's have some common sense when asking people to squad up with you.

We are not noobs if we automatically deny your random request.

1. If you don't take the time to ask me if I'm fighting the same mobs as you, why should I take the time to ask you before I deny? Just because I'm in the same area, doesn't mean I'm after the same mob. Ask first.

2. I might deny your "random didn't ask me first" request because even though I'm fighting the same mob, I'm also farming mats for crafting. If you ask first, I might stop the farming and concentrate on the quest with you.

3. I WILL deny your "random didn't ask me first" request if I see that you're not a ranged player and took the time to mark free distribution instead of random. Why should I let you hide behind my pet, and not even give me a chance for drops?

I know I'm not the only one that feels this way.

So, please ask first before you ask people to join squads to help with quests.

    I fully agree with this post! I have litterally been cussed out because I did not accept a blind invite on my Cleric. I am not obligated to party with you, nor an I obligated to heal you because you got in over your head. Asking first means I might consider recending my policy of soloing to help another person out. But if you don't ask, expect to be denied.

    This was annoying to me as well until I discovered the ignore option. Now i just turn on the filter that denies party and trade requests, and auto-reply "Please forgive me I'm doing quests"

    What a great idea! Didn't know we could do that b:laugh

    I just turned that option on, and put "Please ask first if you want to squad up :)" as my auto reply!

    When you're in the squad window, you click slogan. You can also click to show class and level. Once you're all set, click "change." It would then say, Lv. X, Class, Seeking a squad.
