So just recently I'll be questing away in a zone when out of nowhere I'll get a whisper along the lines of "r u feral". That's it, no hello, no explanation, just a question of how I've spent my talent points. Generally I assume it's because someone is trying to put an instance run together and are looking for a tank (or healer).
Now it's not that I mind being asked to help out, heck I might even be tempted if I was going to be online for a bit and bored, but interrupting my play time without so much as a hi/hello isn't likely to get a favorable response from me. This also happened when I was levelling up Crash, but that just tended to be the abbreviation of the instance being PUG'd.
Right, so now we know what won't work as a way of getting my attention, what might. Well here's a 3 point plan
- Be polite - you don't know what I'm doing and will most likely be in the middle of something when you send that whisper.
- Use proper words - if you take the time to write a proper question, I may well take the time to right a proper response.
- Be original - You won't be the first person to send a request so make yours stand out from the crowd.
Finally an apology, if you've done all that and still not got a response please don't take it personally, I may well have missed the whisper in amongst guild chat, officer chat and other spaff. Good luck with your adventures and remember not to break the cc

I've commented on my own experiences of this at
flameshock but it must be a bit of a pest to be a tank and be getting this all the time. Unless you want to go see instances with PUGs of course!
