Edit: tested, with these results:
1. No matter what the mob health, joining a team automatically transfers the 'loot rights' to the team.
2. Mouseclicking to fire your weapon doesn't accept a team invite, but typing can do.

So, then, perhaps hitting the enter key, to switch to chat?
if the team invite pops up, does hitting the enter key accept it?

I know trade invites interfere with other activity, too. The invite pops up and you must deal with it, somehow, or do nothing until the times out. Can be annoying
We should request MA to change the invites so default activity is to ignore team, trade and chat invites. Meaning if you are doing something else and someone sends an invite, you must manually accept it by clicking on the affirmative selector, to accept, but the ignore/deny selection is highlighted so hitting the enter key selects to deny/ignore.

if you tell this avatar that you dont have a gc "she" becames very chatty. obviously "she" is very quick to offer a slideshow of herself daincing (she is a stripper that owns a club ).

after playing around with "her" for a while i got the slideshow.exe file, recorded all the chats, took screenshots and got "her" ip address before sending all the info to support.
"she" insisted on using yahoo, since this appears to be one of the few webmails that wont reject the file she is sending.

so if anyone ask you if you use a goldcard, always say yes no matter what. and dont trust stippers with a slideshow fetish on yahoo mail!

PS: she claimed to be from spain (she did indeed speak spanish) but the ip address was from romania (romtelecom).

Thanks! Very valid warning and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it's connected to this: Scamming Methods Exposed

I didn't test it that thoroughly, sorry to say, because my assistant's dinner was ready

And having opened several windows, jumped and ran off when someone sends any request while typing, I fully agree how bloody annoying it is, not to mention exploitable.
