Default Add an "I'm going Solo" button to message people who invite you!

Credit to William1975 for giving me this idea (sorry if im not meant to mention ingame names)...

...alot of players prefere to go solo for farming, or to go solo with just AI. So it can get annoying when you enter a town or outpost and your flooded with invites to join groups.

So why not add a button to the party bar, to the right of the HM and NM icons which says "Soloing".

You select it and when ever somone goes to invite you, they get a message back saying...

"This adventurer has chosen to go it alone! They do not wish to join teams!"

...then your invite is cancelled and never sent. The solo player isnt interupted or bothered, and it saves wasting the other players time of asking them to join.

Maybe even add an icon above their head to indicate them going solo (no inuendos please).

Seems like just ignoring the invites or rejecting them is just as good as a solution, to me.

gets somewhat annoying when the same person pings you to join 20 times while you set up you skills, even when you are in a hench/hero team of 8 and are doing HM and they are only level 7

In another post i mentioned the fact that becaus i ws solo farming elites and this other player wanted help they clicked on me 10 times to join, and then started to abuse me in local because i wouldn't. this solo button idea would prevent that hopefully

I'm still not really seeing why the feature would be needed. Even if there was a button that doesn't let a person invite you, you're still going to get Local chat / whisper spam because a person wants your help. Ignore the invites, turn off Local chat, and if necessary, set yourself to "Do not disturb" for a few seconds. It's achieving the exact same same effect either way, except by simply ignoring people, you're saving the development team some programming time.

Just add a 'do not isturb' option in the Friends panel, so you ignore invites and/or whispers.
