How do you feel about blind invites in Eureka?

[Avatre]

Not just limited to Eureka, but I HATE blind invites period to anything. I like to know what I'm getting into or be grouped with something I know I wanna do before clicking accept.

Hated it the most, especially, when it was someone I was on PS chat with, and they didn't say anything other than "just accept it". Let the invite sit there until the time ran out multiple times with that happening.

Can’t blacklist while in an instance.
Use /busy. Stops the unwanted invites, and all you have to do to toggle it on or off is type out /busy in your chat box.

Just like you cannot blacklist inside Eureka /busy also doesn't work after you've entered.

You would have to leave, put /busy on outside, then go back in unfortunately.

I don't like people blind inviting me either. If I wanted an invite I'd shout and I could put the party seeking flag on too. There is just no reason to blind invite, people who want a party will shout or actively seek one out.

I'd be fine somewhat if people only invited once then stopped when I declined, but I'll get the same people blind inviting me over and over and over no matter how many times I decline. There is just no reason for this crap.

It's just annoying especially when you are trying to click on something when it pops up.
It's nearly as bad as those scrub fc's that all send your alt random invite without saying a word to you prior to sending one.

I don't think I've ever received a blind invite in Eureka. But even if I did, I wouldn't accept. If I'm ready for a group I will give a /shout. Before, or after that, I'm clearly not ready.

It's kind of a creeper move
especially considering you can send a shout and be invited instantly

i am lvl 20 and tried to spawn the low lvl fates solo for a friend wich just started in eureka (he was killing some trash alone - thanks for the lvl synch feature SE...)

however, i got some blind invites, i think for pazuzu spawn partys i had no interest in. when i asked in shout chat that they please stop trying to invite me, people thought it was very funny to spam the party invite button on me...

yeah, i hate blind invites.

[Transient_Shadow]

they're a little annoying when I'm not intending on staying long or am working with geralt

Indifferent. Most people are in Eureka for one of three things:

• Turning in crystals
• Is Pazuzu up?
• FATE train

Two are mutually exclusive. You generally know what you're getting into when you get a party invite in Eureka.

If I'm looking for a party, thanks to the party leader for taking initiative. If I'm not looking for a party, I'll decline.

Only if I get multiple invites from the same person will I get annoyed, since there's an obvious reason I'm declining in the first place.

This exactly. It's not a big thing to get annoyed about unless its the same person spamming you, and I never find this to be the case.

I will admit this is actually the reason I blind invite in the first place. Trying to be the first to invite is almost futile. I got tired of always seeing "that player has already been invited " or "that player is already in a party". If you aren't quick enough your fledgling group of 3-5 starts to rupture and you're back to square one.

So, that's why I blind invite.
