Back when I first started playing I had a glitch in my game install that left me stranded on Padres whenever I ended up there, Couldn't launch a ship from there or teleport to a friends ship that happened to be too close to Padres. The glitch also effected my Teleport totem screen leaving me with a black screen, no map and no working teleport totems. My only way to get off of Padres was to teleport to someone in another location. Even then I never did this without asking and recieving their permission. I even had a couple friends who would go AFK in a safe location when they quit playing for the day just in case I got stranded on Padres and needed to teleport out. I've since reinstalled the game changes video cards and gotten rid of those glitches.
I have never liked it when people teleported to me without asking. There are only a couple people in the game who have my permission to teleport to me anytime and they are very close and trusted friends. Most cases when I've had people teleport to me without asking, they haven't bothered to ask where I was or what I was doing before teleporting to me, Often times they would interupt whatever I was doing, expecting me to drop what ever I was doing at the time and go help them with something else or take em plundering on my ship, which puts them into the uninvited crew category. Other times I have been leveling or healing others while they leveled only to have someone teleport to me ininvited and then demand that I heal them as well which weakens the healing I was doing for others. I consider it extremely bad manners to teleport without first asking permission. Poeple who do this to me are told the first time not to do it again. If they continue to do it after that I dump em off my friend list. Its also a rule in two of my three guilds and repeated violations result in the offender being kicked out of the guild.
I think a teleport permission control even something as simple as a yes/no option for all teleport both on land and at sea would be a definate improvement to the game.
