Is ninja inviting considered rude by the WoW community? - Image 1Ninja inviting, or receiving an unsolicited invite to join a guild or a raiding party, is a pretty common thing in World of Warcraft. Those with higher-leveled characters will probably understand why these can quickly become annoying.

Most of players on the WoW Forums see this as very rude. Proper in-game etiquette dictates that a whispered request be sent to the player before inviting them into a guild or group. After all, would the player join the guild not knowing what to expect? Forum Moderator/ Community Manager feels this way as well:

It's generally seen as more polite to at least message someone first before inviting them to guilds or groups. I tend to prefer to know what I'm being invited for myself. ;) What can I say? I'm just not all that big on surprises.


So if you're planning on sending out an invite, be sure to chat with the person first and explain what your group has to offer. It's considered the polite thing to do by most WoW gamers. After all, you won't really lose anything except a couple of seconds to type the message.

Be a little more broad geez..

Holy hell.. this is a problem in all MMORPGs.. why do they post like WoW is the center of the frickin' universe? I keep saying if people cared about what was posted in the WoW forums.. they'd be there, not here. Its a fair topic, but address the issue in terms of all MMOs.. not just frickin' WoW... Christ.

Okay Damn man

Keith you sound like you have an addiction man, get some help quick. They are using WoW as an example because someone on the WoW forum mentioned it not because it rules the universe and there isnt a person that can live without it.

Amen

This has always been a peeve of mine. I once got ninja'd 5 times in an hour. I didn't mind so much the first 50 times, but it just got too annoying for me. At first I started joining the guilds just to ask them never to ask me again, then quit. Recently I decided just to make my own guild with only me and my alts in it.
