Especially since it's hard to tell whom you've invited and not without keeping an eye on the error channel.

Yup. Annoying change is annoying. Get rid of, please.

at least shorten the cooldown to one second or so - only the fastest typers and clickers will be annoyed, but most of us probably take an order of one second to type or click-move-click to make each invite.

maybe someone figured out how to mass spam invites or something.

Not sure what the reasoning behind this change is, but blind invites were never that big of an issue IMO. Certainly not a big enough issue to warrant coding changes.

Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Arc Name: Tsoo In Love
Arc ID: 413575

I think they should apply it only to sending multiple invites TO THE SAME PERSON... in which case it probably needs to be a couple of seconds longer.

Oh is that the bandwagon (sticks out thumb and hops on). I've got a big bag of pitchforks and torches so lets burn this motha down! HATE! HATE! HATE! this change......

That can be annoying, if you try to invite someone just as they're zoning... Wish that zoning wouldn't kill an invite window.

I am late to the party but I want to be part of the *rabble rabble rabble* torch and pitchfork crew. It's most noticeable during zone events such as the winter realm, rikti invasion, zombie invasion kind of scenario.

Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

This!! What a silly 'feature.'

Craft your inventions in AE!!

Also disliked this change. It might make sense for invites from the search window, guessing that perhaps this is to prevent people from just inviting everyone listed until they have a full team.

But it sure doesn't make sense when inviting off the global list. At that point, it's a team of regular players, and it makes no sense to throttle it.

I was happy just putting the multiple blind inviters on /ignore, as those teams rarely are decent anyway.

Angel Witch II - Chord of Souls - Storm Witch II - Princess of the Dawn - Standing Horse - Witch of Xymox
Silent Scream - Shadow Witch II - Liquid Serenade - Nebulous Dawn - Ghost Witch II -Xiberia

I am also not pleased with this change, I do understand if this is to keep from getting a ton of blind invites, but I agree...fixed something that was not broken!

Leave them out of this! I like your parents too much to give them any credit for how you turned out.

You were a product of your peers, video games, junk food, and too much TV...

Your personality is a blend of all things Mario topped with an unhealthy Metroid fixation saturated in Danger Mouse reruns blended with liberal volumes of Mountain Dew and left simmering through America's fine education system for too many years to count.

Don't see any place to blame your parents there.

.......Maybe an over-abusive neurotic maniacal friend or two kicking you every chance they get...... but parents? They're better than that.

Here's an idea... If it's not in the patch notes, then it's obviously an introduced bug. I say we all /bug this.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

That theory doesn't really make sense, though. Blind inviters will still blind invite, just a little more slowly.

At least *i* worked hard at changing things up when i was inflicting youthful trauma. i mostly focused on using double-reverse psychology to convince peers to do things that they knew were a bad idea anyway. The best was using logical fallacies like false binary choices to Xanatos Gambit them into it.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...

It stinks heavily of an idea that looked good on paper but managed to be implemented excessively poorly.

Repeat invites to the SAME person? A delay isn't necessarily a bad idea, anti-harassment or whatever (still is a non-issue but hey, trying to give benefit of the doubt...).
Multiple invites to different people? Delay is stupid and nonsensical.
