"I'm soloing" ... "ur selfish"
Here's a wacky idea, if someone sends a tell asking to join up with you, why not invite them? You were soloing and now you're teamed. Do you really care about their grammar skills or presumption? Do you feel that a random lowbie is an unconscionable burden upon your shoulders? If you're just taking it easy and soloing while you do something else you could say "I'm taking it easy and soloing while I do something else. Still want to join?" They might.
I almost always invite anyone who asks because if nothing else it's nice to have an audience for my badass spawn shredding. |
The point of CaptainMan's post wasn't that someone asked to team with him. It was that, when he declined, he was snapped at by the asker. People's support of him is predicated on this contention: Not necessarily that he was soloing, but that someone gave him a stink for soloing.
I think your POV needs to adapt to this reality. Your perception of the thread was "lol teemin sux". It's not an accurate view, but one that you're basing your entire argument chain on.

I sort of wish CoH had a "public group" mechanism where you can set a flag such that anyone can just auto-join your group. I think a lot of people would use it.

Sadly, this is not the case.
I am glad that my desire is not a lonely wish.

I'm going back to PR's original post, since this is where a lot of the catfighting originated.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
How I handle the - May I join your team? Request.
If I am actively soloing or have a team - sure.
If I am building a bunch of IO's or marketing - I explain IO'ing may be a while.
If they persist - I invite them and make them leader explaining I may be a while because I am building IO's. If others join the team, I say Hi! and say will join in a bit IO'ing.
I try not to be stupid about it. They want your company for good or ill. Sometimes I have met very good people and have them on my friends list now.
Several years ago I was in the market when someone blind invited me several times in a row. I finally accepted.
Several minutes later, one of the team members asked if I was planning to join the mission soon. I replied, "Nope. I only joined because that was the only way to keep your team leader from blind inviting me a seventh time in a row." Then I quit.
I didn't get invited again.

I'm sure that anyone that has met you in person hears the same voice in their head while reading that post.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

I play during the day while at work. The owners, my bosses, don't mind. Just so long as I get my work done and my subordinates get theirs done.
This does mean, when someone asks me something I AFK. Even if I'm about to die in a mish. I don't even turn around and run to a safe spot. I just AFK and die. BFD, XP is easy. Finding jobs that pay like mine for the little I actually have to do? DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE! I have a better chance of winning the lottery, getting the Bughunter badge AND having Posi PERSONALLY auto-level a toon to 50 for me on Live, then fork over 10 billion Inf, 9999 Reward Merits, and a few thousand Alignment Merits all on the same day.
On the flip side, it's not fair for someone to be told they have to basically stand there with their thumb up their *** for an indeterminate length of time until I'm able to get back to the game (sometimes it can be more than an hour). And most of the time I'm running at a difficulty most SK'ed toons couldn't hope to finish without lots and LOTS of debt.
I'd of told the person yea sure you can join me. But it's an exclusive Cyber-must scenario. You have to be really good, and I get to be the midget juggling six cabbages while riding a giraffe under the sea while singing jesus christ superstar's infamous solo.

Especially around so many D.O.M. posters.

Having seen your picture in your Christmas Cake thread, I don't think it's particularly wise to advertise that you engage in Cyber.

A girl has to have a healthy RP appetite to survive in the male dominated MMORPG world. Sometimes incentives fall into place, no biggie.
*Also* how can anyone find out who I play in-game if the global is different? I haven't learned all the tricks and things yet.
Anyways, what's D.O.M posters stand for?

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.

Momma always told me to be weary of cowboys.
and that is awesomely lulzworthy. Luckily D.O.M's come with a scent, even in-game. ![]() |
Also, I deny the existence of a D.O.M. scent. Aside from natural pheromones of course.

Be careful out there.

I won't specify how publicly, but if you PM me I'll tell you exactly how it was probably done.

Speaking of which, don't confirm things yourself with your reactions. <.<
