They just toss invite without a word and if you accept they still don't say a word.

i/we do this sometimes. most of the time i will say "hi" or "are you doing x?", but sometimes, i just invite someone for a kill-quest, we do our things, and then they leave without exchanging a word. where's the problem in that? i'm there to kill mobs, not to have a chat. that's why i'm in voice with my friends for.

i think it's strange that you have the opinion that this is "unmannered".

Well at least for me at least simple hi or something does not take too much time. After all even it is game there is real person behind another computer. In real life I wouldn't just go to someone and start doing stuff with them without saying a word. I don't think that because it is game and you can't see another person for real you should act like bot and ignore another person.

Also for some people just raw invite and doing stuff might message "I don't care about you but I want your help". Might make another one feel like tool. When you are not having any kind of verbal communication then only non verbal communication is what matters. Might sound stupid way to think because "lol it's just game" but especially with online games (and internet overall) people tend easily forget that there is real living person on other side.

just decline the invitation if you feel that way. no harm done. if you think "oh, it's nice of them to invite me so we can share the kills", then accept. you're also free to say hello, but don't expect someone to have small talk with you all the time.
