It is almost an inevitable fact that we will get into parties at some point. It would be possible to solo play all the way, but leveling in the later stages, or getting anything done alone will take an almost unreasonable amount of time. It wouldn't be called Massively Multi-player Online Role Rlaying games for nothing after all. Players are expected to communicate, or interact with others at the same time to get things done.

I may think that way, but that doesn't change my liking to be able to solo. I like doing things on my own. If I screwed up, I will die. I can accept that. But I can't help but feel bitter if I died because my party member wasn't paying attention because his cat caught fire and is running around blazing everything in the room. I know things like that happen all the time, not just to me, but I have had enough of such experiences for me to prefer to do things on my own. Sure, it will be hard and it will take a long time, but with careful planning, stocking up on potions, it is possible. And it gives me a good sense of accomplishment as well.

I like to help others, so sometimes when I see another person in the same area killing stuff as I am, I would run to him or her and throw some buffs or heals, if my MP pool allows for so. Usually they will reply with a simple thanks, and I'll be on my way doing my own stuff. But there is more than one occasion where I throw him or her a buff and she throws an party invite my way. They may do it with the kindest of intentions, like “She must be having a hard time soloing these things. Maybe I should party up with her to help.” It'll depend on my current situation. If I am indeed having a hard time soloing, I will accept the invite and have a chat along the way while killing mobs. If indeed we enjoy each other's company, I will invite him or her to be a friend and all is well.

However, this is not the case usually. After buffing him or her, without saying anything, she throws an invite to me. In this case, I would not accept the request. I believe it is rude to throw blind invites to others. So what is the invite for? Quest? Grinding? Or a request to Cyber? I don't know and so I'm not going to join you. The least you could do is ask. It's not so hard to type a sentence out. It is basic courtesy. If you need to have your computer repaired, do you run to the computer repair technician, drop your computer on his desk and stand down there waiting for him to react? What a normal person will do is to explain the situation and ask if the technician could fix it. So what is so hard about just typing a request out? It doesn't mean that I can't see whoever that is sitting behind the computer, gives you the right to be rude to me, or anybody. I remember once there was a situation where something like this happened:

I run around looking for mines, and I see a guy around my level fighting something. He is in trouble, with health dropping quick. I throw him a few heals, and after the fight is over, a few more buffs and I'm running off. Then a while later, he throws me an invite, which I reject. And another, and I reject. And another. And another. And another. Finally the Too-Cool-To-Talk stranger says something:

Dude: Party

Me: No thanks. *runs off to mine*

*The guy chases me around*

Dude: Party

Me: No thank you.

Dude: Party

Me: Yeah I'm going to this awesome birthday party with my RL friends, and you are not invited. *warps out*

I can't help and be pissed at that guy. Throwing me blind invite one after another is not going to change my mind. It doesn't always mean that if I'm helping you, it means that I want to join you in your awesome adventures killing moles for bucktooth.

Sometimes you just have to take a no for an answer, and even if your English is not so good, someone rejecting your invites time and again is a very good, and obvious sign that he or she has no interest in joining your party. Get over it and ask someone else. Sending invite after another is a surefire way to piss someone off, and earn you a visit to his/her blacklist. I know people refuse to invite a blacklisted character or even join a party if a guy on their blacklist is there. Usually they are support jobs so they can afford to be choosy but that's besides the point. The important thing to note that an inconsiderate act now, can come back to haunt you later where you desperately need help.

That doesn't mean that you can be a ass, even though you are a support job character. It will have a less of an effect on you, but it could mean that you miss out on joining the really good End Game guilds for raiding and whatnot because 57 levels ago, you pissed off the leader's virtual girlfriend.

A little bit of basic courtesy goes a long way, even in virtual worlds.
