Background:
So I am getting really tired of being blind invited to groups. I don't want to run my characters as anonymous as I have friends that look me up on the who, and I don't like the anonymous tag in the LFM screen as I like to know who I would potentially be partying with before joining the group.

My WF wizzy especially seems to be getting blind invites regularly since F2P was instituted.

Story:
So the other night I am online waiting for my guildies to log in so we can run VON 1-4 and to spend time rather than waste it I was soloing the desert looking for slayers/and a bloodstone. Right in the middle of a bunch of mummies you guessed it DING player XXX invites you to join their party. I was needing to get a FW off so in my haste I clicked Accept rather than Decline got my FW off then healed up started to drop then thought NAH lemme just hang then use the drop to reset my instance. So I continued to make the loop killin and shrinin and runnin around.

No communication from anyone in group for like 4 minutes then group gets full and someone asks "what are we running?" Several quest shares go off for quests I had already picked up. Noone had said anything to me at all even tho my mana bar/health bar were falling and rising as I ran around, healed up, nuked, shrined, and used my SS ring.

Finally the leader asks if I'm coming. I said where? He said House J. I replied Nope I'm soloing in the desert you blind invited me to your group I thought you might just want company or something thanks anyways good luck. He doesn't have a reply but rather drops group then rejoins. The other guy now with star says are you coming? I said again no I am waiting on guildies and soloing. He says well CYA. Wait for it...nothing happens. I say to him if you're trying to dismiss me you might notice the error message that reads can't dismiss while in a dungeon. I told you I was soloing.

Please learn to use the LFM If I can I will join as I like to group to get XP faster, but when my time is limited, I'm waiting on guildies, or I have to take lots of AFKs while cooking etc I don't group.

DO NOT BLIND INVITE!!! I think this will be my tactic for blind invites from now on.
