(Tell): <Player:<\Player> tells you, 'yes
(Tell): You tell <Player:-----<\Player>, 'then i would of hit it if i wanted to go'
(Tell): <Player:----> tells you, 'thx for being an awesome person'
(Tell): <Player:-----<\Player> tells you, 'making a great name for your guild there bud

I find a simple "no ty" works well. It's not like he tossed you a blind invite.

Not saying you weren't within your rights to respond as you did, just sharing what I do.

yeah kinda have to agree w/ strakeln.. ppl can be doing plenty of things and not watching the LFM's. the ding and orange text gets attention. Looked to me it was just a simple question... if you don't like blind tells from people fishing for healers then go "anonymous". or just a simple no ty....

This all goes back to Pavlov's dog experiments. A dog that is given a reward every once in a long while can be trained to a particular behavior as well or better than one given a reward every time. I ruined this for you Ace!

I sometimes join such groups from random tells. Not often--but sometimes. And the damage is done.

**Minor_Threat** · 08-20-2009, 04:15 PM

well the fact that people still do this is proof that it does actually work, so don't expect it to end anytime soon. Go anonymous.

**Caine52184** · 08-20-2009, 04:21 PM

I'm guilty...

I find myself sending tells to certain classes...especially GH quests if im sitting with a LFM up for a long time lol. Not sure why but it seems as though its always around that level. I wouldnt have went as far as replying back to you the way that player did but I can tell you this...when I send tells about joining my lfm..the person joins probably 80% of the time. When I dont feel like being hounded on my cleric I go anon.

**bartcom2000** · 08-20-2009, 04:28 PM

.... I have this happen to me all the time.... "King of cheese", "Cain", and "Arlith" are constantly sending me blind invites to thier dam groups.. they are like "Kindread we need you" "Kindread come save us", "Kindread should i drop a BB on the spiders" "We need you kin, vela is kikn our arse!!".......

Dunno for sure, but I'd guess you'd have to go drop your own deuce.

PS: I am so stealing this ->

Whats wrong with sending tells? I've sent a few and joined a few parties that way.

TBH, I think the "some people's kids" in this case is the OP. Don't want tells, click on anonymous.

So you think its ok when you have a LFM alraedy up to have eveyone in your group spam every clr on the server to join you?

Sorry kid, adults should not act like that.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!! I'm sry bro.... i totally did not see the part where it was the 4th tell...... from same party for same quest.... ahhhh gotcha.. yeah I would have been nice at first, but I admit, I probably would have started having fun with them after the 3rd tell..... ok i see your point...

Lol, yea like you are in a position to tell everyone how they should act.

I remember a shroud some time ago, with a certain bard. The DPS was poor (not accusing the bard here), was obvious from the get go. Part 4 arrives and it looks pretty bad. Have only 1 cleric and a bard (second cleric did not make it in time tru first gate, dont remember), by the end of round 1 the cleric has blown his mana, drunk one pot, and the Pit Fiend is still at 80% health. Quite a few members of the party think this looks like a costly win, if at all, should we bail out? A concensus is rapidly reached. Ok, dimension door anyone? Anyone? The fiend comes back, people get in the fray, might as well die fast if got no ddoor he? Meanwhile, said bard says absolutely nothing, teleports back to Meridia, and drops group. No word at all, no sorry guys I dont carry ddoor, no nothing. That was real classy. Adults should not act like that.

you are correct adults should not cry if they ask for a dd and dont get one just before they wipe.

What does it matter anyway? A cleric is not needed for Tor...

**Ronin1** · 08-20-2009, 04:35 PM

I am guilty of sending tells as well and to add injury to insult my cleric runs anonymous so I don’t get tells for quest. So my input would be run anonymous if don’t want to get tells. Any one in your guild will know you are on and if you are part of any chat channels your fellow allies can always get you. Just my two cents you can do as you wish but if you are on the who page you are going to get tells a post is not going to stop that.
