[Request] Invite offline characters to League

I was attempting to invite an Alt into my league, but was unable to as they were offline. Is there a reason why we can't have a way to invite offline characters to a league? Perhaps as an email request, such that they can accept or decline via mail, upon logging in?

this needs to be a thing.

To avoid mass spamming and abuse capabilities for our oh so mature community. Sending some a league invite repeatedly is an example. Or multiple invites from multiple leagues...imagine having to click "no" to all those

Very easy to imagine that having an adverse effect on the in-game mail system as well.

Good point. Perhaps a special mail folder for only league invites. If you get spammed,there can be a delete all button to handle it. If you have something legit, you can accept or decline, individually.

the current ignore league invites should be updated to handle that

No, it doesn't. If it is, if you're not in a league already you're going to sign on and belong to some random league every day. I get at least 3 random league invites a day even if I'm in the middle of something. It's annoying

that's your own fault. there's an option to auto ignore league invites. the tools are there you cant blame the game for your ignorance

A little harsh but yes.

If this happened the auto-ignore league invites could flag the account so the invites wouldn't be recieved

Then this does suggest a possible way to make the OP's request feasible. Just a suggestion...

As just pointed out there is an option to set ignore to league invites and the default is Off (meaning you get them by default). And that's probably how it should be.

However if, your mailbox UI screen has a check box set to "ignore mailed league invites" with the default set to On, then that would block all the spam invites via mail. If you are expecting an invite (or it's an alt) you can turn it off until your invite comes in.

I'm speaking in general terms you troll. So in your opinion it's OK to spam invite total strangers constantly? And, please, please come find me and speak this way to my face. Please.

There are filters if you do not want to get League invites.

And also..... once you are IN a League..... you cannot be invited to another League.

So..... not really a good argument.

Again..... there are filters if you do not want to get League invites.

So..... not really an issue.

There is an option so that you do NOT get League invites.

Just use that and you will NEVER sign on to a League by accident. EVER. Until the end of time.

Unfortunately this would happen and no matter how much I want an offline invite this and a few other things I can think of make it not possible to have.

Go to

Options > Settings > GAMEPLAY > Ignore League Invitations...... set Ignore League Invitations to "ON".

And you will never get a League invite ever again.

Not sure why many in this very thread seems to have no idea this option even exists.

Oh, I'm well aware of that. I turned on the "ignore league invites" option as one of the first things I did in-game the day that went live (hated getting stopped dead in combat thanks to those).

However, I'm not sure if there are any filters in the mail system like that or not. Could be problematic if there wasn't any way to filter those out.

he simply pointed out a fact - there's a very simple way around that side of things..

I'm curious to hear what those other things are.

There have already been suggestions to thwart spamming: use already existing measures to turn off league invites, and filter league invite mail into its own mail folder for easy controlling/handling. Do you find these suggestions incapable of accomplishing that goal?

Well how about making it an account bound thing? A relatively easy way to do it would be to generate a "league invite" item, that just sends the league invite when clicked. Make them account bound - then you can easily move them to your alts and invite them into your league and no risk of spam for the innocents.

I might be tired, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. An account bound item,like you could put it in your shared bank for an Alt to accept?
