Reminds me of a funny story. A level 99 Amazon came into a public game while I was playing around with Backoff(my "press my belly to make me fart" Paladin) Naturally, this set off all sorts of alarm bells, since this was while I was in Normal Act 2. I simply took the waypoint to the canyon of the magi, entered a random Tal Rasha's tomb, and then "accepted" his party invite(sad fact 1: most pks are males... sad fact 2: most pks are males using female characters...), and watched with amusement as he spammed "TPTPTPTPTP" :P I refused to let him have the pleasure of teleporting to me, choosing instead to tell him "I'm in Tal Rasha's tomb. Come find me."
A less amusing reason why I now play in private games with my brother, was related on these boards some time ago. Some silly noob stole some emeralds and a couple of small poison charms from my venom assassin while I was gracious enough to help him through Act 2. After 5 minutes of "Please give me back my emeralds!", I quit the game, and I've never gone back to public gaming since. Especially not now that I have 2 coms and a shared cable connection.
