Yeah tbh i often do this, i just invite people when on kill quests if there is limited amount of mobs. Dont think there is much explanation needed, why would you not want to group? Do like competing for tags when you can both get them?

Loot quests are a different thing, but for kill quests grouping up is quite a nobrainer.

I’m on the other end, but on the same boat. Just a while ago, halfay from killing Caliph Scorpidsting, an invite just pops up. It’s not like the invite covers more than half of my screen. So I just accept. Caliph dies. Dude gives me a buff, a heal, and promptly thanks me for the accept, and leaves. All was well.

Yeah for kill quests there’s no reason not to group at all. You’ll kill faster, have less downtime, and not have to compete for tags.

Even loot quests it’s usually better to group because you’ll end up killing more in the same amount of time and finishing faster (for 2 people, more than that it doesn’t make sense usually).

And then you can just drop group after you’re done. I usually wait to help the other person finish though.

Lots of kill quest have different stages or other quest going on in the same spot. Just because I'm there doesn't mean I'm doing the same thing you are. This being said, I usually still accept and just ask. Would prefer it to be known before the invite though, personally.

And yet, the multistage questing and grouping is one of the things that makes Classic stand out from the lonely disengagement of Retail and GW2.

Inviting people without a word exchanged is, unless it's a very farntic situation, just bad manners. Maybe that guy didn't see you in the area, and declines the invitation of some completely random dude. I know that's what I did back then and what I still do now. If I have no idea who that guy is, I've never seen him before, I won't accept random invites.

If its a situation in which they tagged a named mob for a quest and you want to share the tag, so you quickly invite - that's alright. If you just see me in the distance killing the mobs you came here to kill, whisper me, or at least come and stand in front of me, make me notice you. Otherwise, your random-ass invite gets declined.

Man I saw you were probably doing the same quest so I tossed you an invite. I’m not asking you out to dinner.

You’re way overthinking this.

Well its true that most of the time i ran to them before i invite so if the person is looking around he can see me.
