Random team invite: anyone that has ever played a MMO has probably dealt with this phenomenon. You might already be part of a team or happen to like soloing and you’re merrily kicking Hellions ass or maybe you’re under fire from Orcs when suddenly on your screen flashes the words: “icanbebotheredtosendatell invites you to join their team”.
In CoH and CoV the invite pops up smack dab in the middle of the screen, which can be hazardous to your avatars life at times.
My beef isn’t with random team invites so much as the seeming inability of these peoples to send a tell first. Does it take that much longer to ask if someone wishes to join your team? Are you that hard up for team mates? Do you want to share my xp THAT badly?
Don’t even get me started on how many more of these things I get when playing a female character verus a male one.

Nice blog. I love the layout.
Yeah, it’s is very annoying not to be able to avoid this MMO hazard, and I can only imagine the greif female avatars must get as opposed to their male counterparts. I ignore them on principle, but that doesn’t mean they don’t mess you up if they come at an inopportune time.

I don’t really understand the thought process behind them either. It’s like the spammers on broadcast channels. What do they really think they’re accomplishing other than being ignored?
