it does get a bit maddening when you land off your ship and get barraged by invites... I tend to ignore them unless I am actually looking for help. My game tends to lag a lot if I have much of a crew... so I like to sail alone a lot. Im already in a guild.. so dont ask me to join another... LOL
I wish you could set your pirate to be able to sail alone... invite only.
What also drives me nuts is ppl on other ships pulling up next to my War Galleon and clickin on me and boarding my ship w/o asking. I kinda think its polite to ask to board another pirates ship in a whisper... maybe Im being picky.. but its a bit crazy.. especially when than lags me to my desktop.
I need to go thru my friends list soon... I have so many ppl on there that I just clicked to get the invite off my screen.. and I never play with.. so its going to get trimmed.. LOL
