  1. I just made a post about this. It got deleted real quick. Pitty COX are not so efficient when it comes to fixing game-brakeing bugs, as they are at censorship. (Running around looking like a child with a pretend gun is a game-breaker for me.)

    I started playing in December and I've never seen chat working properly. I don't think it's worth sticking around to see how long it takes for my toon to not look completely stupid.

    no blinds

    If you put 'no blinds' in the teaming description I definitly will not invite you. But if you do not have 'no blinds' I do not expect to have abuse hurled at me.

    When you invite a friend around to call them and say

    'Hey, can I have your permission to ask you if you'd like to come and watch the footy?'

    'Sure'

    'Great, do you want to come and to watch the match?'

    'Nah, I'm calling Sandra to ask for permission to ask for permission to ask for permission to ask for permission to invite her round for a tea.'

    In my opinion the request is enough. It is possible to say yes or no.

    Clearly if you've flagged yourself as 'looking for any team' you don't much mind what the team is doing. Otherwise you would use the 'missions flag if you wanted a mission, etc. So what information are you looking for when you interview a team to see if they are worthy of you? Do you ask for star-signs? Male / Female ration? What type of music they like? What?

    How about if someone spams lft in broadcast. Do I need to ask them? Flagging yourself as looking for a team is equivalent to broadcasting lft.

    The system provided is good and well thought out. People looking for a team can find one, people in a team can find people looking. But just suppose, to please tohose who want an extra choice an automatic tell was added before the request was sent would that be OK?

    Like, instead of just being sent a team request in response to your looking for team notification you were automativcally sent a message

    'I know you have alredy indicated you want to find a team, but here is an automatic tell to confirm that you really are looking for a team.'

    Then you can click yes or no. Followed by the usual 'xx invites you to a team.' where you get another chance to decline.

    Or would you like an extra, extra, extra chance to say no?

    It's simple. If you don't want to be invited don't mark yourself as looking for a team. The invitation has a decline button you can use if you don't want to join. You can also quit the team by clicking the quit team button.

    This is the only game I've played where people do this. Age of Conan has a similar team finding system but you don't get snotty 'no blind' messages.

    This is why nobody wants to have the star in a team. You have to spend ALL the time you have the star sending chat messages.

    I've only been playing this game a few weeks but I'm struck by how difficult it is to find a team. I've tried forming teams myself but I'm put off by the rude and arrogant people who believe you should send them a begging letter before they gran their permission for you to send them an invite. I mean why?

    If you don't want a team don't sit in the 'looking for team' section. It's pretty simple. You also get the option to refuse when an invite is sent. Why do you want to waste my time and spoil my fun, making me stop playing and spend all my time sending stupid messages?

    Whenever I see the 'mo blinds tab' I know the person is rude and arrogant so I just don't invite.
