I would see this as extremely useful, especially if salvage, recipies and enhancements can be posted. I'm in the middle of crafting IO's for a toon at the moment and I have a very helpful SG who are supplying me with Salvage. At the moment we either have to meet face to face or have it dropped off at the base if necessary, meaning they have to go out of their way to do help.

Because every term in this game is completely fictional? It's a game? And people prefer their villians to be in a villian group rather than a super group? Just maybe?

Sorry, did you say something? :P

Just to add to the anecdotal evidence, I saw CoH on gamespy but wasn't in a position to buy or play it. Then I saw GvE in HMV about 18 months ago and realised I could now play it. I would love a new box.

Umm, pretty sure you're not supposed to be saying that outloud.

Hahaha, that is gold!

I wouldn't bother petitioning drug related names, although the more clever the name, the less likely I would be to worry about it if I did. I appreciate a good pun.

I would consider Superman to be natural. All his race had those powers.

I think it was because it was BAB talking about tails that it was assumed they were animated.

They manage it to pocket D so why not...

As is the Rikti dimension... pretty sure they aren't from ours. Check out their page on the Wiki: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Rikti

Apologies for not finding a genuine scooby doo one, but they seem in short supply.

Thats the problem, they only do what you tell them to, not what you want them to!

Ok, fair enough. I wasn't looking for a right or wrong, just understanding, me of where you stood and you of where I stood. Think we found that.

Although as a reciever and occasional sender of these tells I personally don't find them pestering and apply the do unto others rule. Politely of course.

Granted, but a team isn't always like a group of mates. For you it may be, to which I reply hide from searchs if the /tells bother you that much. PUGs are common, and rely on random strangers communicating. Somehow I think we are going to have to agree to dissagree as it's clear we approach this game in very different ways.

Still the analogy fails because when you go to the bar you can see it's a group of friends, and people usually go with friends rather than go hoping to meet a random group. A party would be a better bet, where a lot of random people with a similar friend or friends in common are there. If you are at a party you are more likely to join in a conversation with random people and more likely to allow people into your converstation, but sometimes you will get cliques that don't want people in. However, you can still often see in the attitude of the group which way they will go. As you said at the end (didn't want to quote the whole thing) COH lacks that ability. The only way you can find out is by asking.

Blind invites are bad because they force the receiver into stopping to deal with a popup. You are under no pressure to deal instantly with a tell, hence why people prefer them to be sent before an invite and why I fail to see why a quick polite tell is such an intrusion.

Hehe, that made me smile.

Still not really, as you're odds of someone letting you stay are pretty much zip.

McD's isn't a place you would normally expect to share a table at. So the analogy was kinda broken to start with.

And in the EU at least there aren't always players available. When you search your level range and find 25 players it doesn't take long to send tells to those not on teams and see if they are looking for one. Most of the time they aren't on a team because they don't want to be, so you are left Solo, or /telling the people on teams.

No, it's more akin to walking up to a table in a full McD's and asking if you could share a table.

I mean sure, there are a fair share of 'Invite me Nao' people but most of the ones I've received have been as polite as the OP's.

And I think the response from the guy in that OP is very OTT, no matter how often he'd been asked. There is NEVER any need to be that rude.

Out of curiostiy, why do you dislike it? It's no worse than you inviting someone else to your team. If you have a spot they could fill (depending on AT etc if you are a player who likes a specific make up) what do you have to lose?

I do agree with the /ignore if they persist.

Eh? 16 issues in 5 years is 3 per year, not 4, with one spare. And we are over halfway through the 6th year. On averages we should be due 2 more.

Why? It's part of an expansion pack... if you don't own the expansion why should you deserve the goodies? I'm not saying I'm in favour of them doing it, but I wouldn't have a problem with it. And I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
