Change the machanic of invitations please

[zwiebelring]

Hello.

Can you add more options to customize the invitations received by other players? Some checkbox for friends on list only or guild? Blind invites at a bank or worse while soloing are annoying, even more when the sender gets insulting if you tell him/her that you as the recipient do not like that at all.

The general option exists but prevents every invite. I would like to have an option for filtering out people/character names, who I do not know. Maybe change the pop up to a glowing icon catching your peripherical vision or something more subtle than the current system.

does squelching the sender not block the invites?

does squelching the sender not block the invites?

Yes it will but some Guild Leaders/Officers insist on just alting to another toon and resending the invite - And if you send an aggressive tell saying to knock it off they will report you.

The above hasn't happened to me but has happened to a friend of mine after he got fed up of getting constant invites from one specific blind invite Guild on Sarlona!

Now to why it hasn't happened to me:

1) Unlike my friend I'm smart enough to not send aggressive tells to these people!
2) Unlike my friend I got into the habit quite early on of immediately mailing a guild invite to new alts from my own Guild.
3) When I do get a Blind Invite in the few minutes before I'm in a Guild I just click Decline. IF I get a tell I'm happy to send a tell back saying no thank you, I have my own Guild. IF Someone pesters me with a second tell saying something other than thanks for reply or np, have a good day then instant squelch!

Blind Party Invites and Tells are far more common but the same rules apply:

1) Don't fall into the trap of telling them off - That can get you reported.
2) Blind Invites = Just click Decline, Get a second from the same person? Squelch.
3) Tells asking me to join = Depends whether I actually want to do that quest or not but a simple tell saying no thank you tends to be sufficient {If they send a tell when you're already in a quest refer to Rule 1 and do not tell them off for doing so. Just ignore it.}.



P.S. I also go to Options/UI Settings immediately upon creating a character and logging in for the first time and deliberately uncheck Accept Challenge Requests - You can also do this for Guild/Party/Trade Requests.
