is there a way to stop random whispers?

Just make your own faction with just yourself in it? Solves the issue of ninja invites. lol

Dido! To that which is Posted above......b:victory

It works wonders to just make a Fauxx {Faction & Guild} if you have specific characters you just wanna solo on without being bugged all the time...........b:pleased

At least they ask you. I used to just get random faction invites. Which is why I also made my own faction (though I upgraded mine to 3 so I could have a personalized icon). And just out of curiosity does anyone else find random squad invites rude. I get them all the time when I'm out questing. They don't say anything, just send you an invite. How hard is it to just ask if a person is killing the same thing as you and if they want to squad up? It's kind of like calling someone to ask if they mind if you visit instead of just showing up at their door and expecting them to put up with you.

When it happends on an alt of mine, I just accept, say something in the lines of 'Random invites are ****ing anoying', and leave again

Yea, that one or people who come around to loot your loots and then send a squad invite are the worse case I have ever found, too. lol


Also, in my opinion, it's better and more polite if people talk or communicate first before sending the invite, either faction or squad invite.

Glad too know I am not alone in thinking this.

Well random whispers to me get the auto-response "You want buffs? I like foreplay first"

Tends to stop whispers except for the inquisitive bunch.

I find that most of the random squad invites I'm getting are from ppl who are too lazy to kill their own mobs, while most of the r9 ppl will just invade your space and ks you like if you don't even exist.

No, I find it ruder when they drop down and start one shotting all the mobs in sight, especially when you're both doing something like a morai or OHT daily. Usually casters (especially clerics for some strange reason) will ignore invites or whispers and go out of their way to take every mob in the area.

Random invites for dailies are fine. Expecting someone to write you an essay of request, when they simply want to speed the quest up for you both is silly. Heck, I don't even care if they want to leech for a daily and afk because they find it hard, by all means tag along, I'm killing the mobs regardless after all.

I notice this with BMs and clerics mostly. I mean seriously? learn to play with others? I try hard to leave at least about 30 meters of space between me and the next guy. I had a cleric and a bm land on me during the 1 hour daily in morai and start KSing and luring a group. i waited till he came back with about 6 mobs and triple spark AOEed them all dead. they both left after that >:3 Clerics think that just because they can, they should aoe your pull off you (farming spiders) and bms are obsessed with running through a group regardless of who else is nearby.

stop being lazy and stop acting like your gear is on fire so you gotta run around taking aggro to put it out. you either send me a squad invite or you find your own space...look a couple mobs of the same type 30 meters to my left go stand there! I promise there are more than just the mobs where autopath took you.

This too. I often find the people who get on my nerves most are the people taking all the mobs in the area (when there aren't other areas for the mobs). And you're killing one or two trying to not invade their space. And then they claim you're just being lazy and don't want to kill your own mobs. No, I'm trying to be respectful and not attack any of the mobs you gathered. But you're gathering most of the ones in the area, so maybe we should squad up.

I still whisper the person though, need x too. But they then take like 10 minutes to respond while they do other pulls. And by then we've wasted like 20 minutes where you've slowed me down when we could have sped each other up. I understand the frustration with that, which is why I tend to accept and then ask why they invited me. I can understand the frustration at that.
