So if you shout out in global chat/sg/whatever "Forming up for a pug Dr. Quaterfiled task force" and six people immediately say "Sure, invite meh!", instead of going "click invite click invite click invite click invite DONE" real quick like you used to, you now have to go "Click invite....... Click invite...... Click invite.... Wait, didn't wait long enough that time, have to wait a few more seconds before trying to invite that person again."

Yeah, this change makes no sense to me. I understand there are some people who try to spam invites to their teams without asking, but I am a "victim" of this maybe once every two months. The inconvenience they have caused me in the last six years is waaaaaaaaay less than the inconvenience this change has presented me with just in the last two weeks.

I don't like this either, ut is really annoying. The first time it said I couldn't invite player and had to wait made me think really? Did they really need to do this?

This change is long overdue and it will save the game. Inviting people to team has been too easy for too long. Even with this change it's still ridiculously easy if you do it properly. Instead of getting all QQ-ey about it, just watch what you're doing and adapt. Heck, I can invite people to a team in less than 6 parsecs on an unslotted FF/Archery defender that I haven't even rolled yet. So there. L2I.

This seems like the overly easy change to a minor issue.
A better changer would be something like 10 second cool down if you send 7 invites in 12 seconds or something like that.
If this is a suggestion to get rid of the timer then count me as /signed. Totally unneeded and annoying change.
More proof you gadflies should be soloing.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
Let's see. 2 second cool down period between invites. Assume that you are really slow and take an entire extra second to click on the name and click invite. At 3 seconds per you can still invite 20 people to a team in 1 minute.
I know it's just my opinion but sheesh, some people need to get a bit of perspective here. If you'll take the time to remember just a short while back you couldn't even invite people by clicking on their name. You had to target the character or else type their name out.
I vote that they increase the time between invites to 30 seconds. I really really want to see what it looks like when somebodies head explodes.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

There could be a deeper reason behind it. There are hints of upcoming changes to the way we form teams in the game right now: the "chat with team leader" option, some other stuff that I can't remember right now and doesn't/didn't actually do anything....yet. So the short cooldown might actually be necessary at some point down the road.
For now, it's annoying, but not nearly as much as the 15-second wait to email stuff to my alts.

The problem is not the absolute amount of time it takes to form a team, it's the fact that you need to pace your clicking.

The thing is I can type /i nameoffriend (granted, none of my friends have dumb names with CaPsLiKeThaT or xX_NuM3r4ls_Xx) faster than that 2 seconds apparently, as I keep getting hit by that timer (and not once but multiple times).

Regardless, it's just a pointless change that's akin to a nerf - pure decrease in quality of life, no advantages.
