Switch game default setting for automatic invite off

I started a normal 2-player game with my level 15 barb to trade an item. While waiting for another player I decided to complete the Andariel quest. When I reached Andariel's room a player joined the game with a much higher level (25+) sorceress nicknamed Ylenia. I greeted the player and asked if she was for a trade and returned my barb to the Rogue camp. As my game had an automatic invite setting on, the player just jumped into my open portal and ruined my quest by killing Andariel without saying a word. Well, that taught me a lesson to switch the default game automatic invite off. The player's battle.net ID is

I suggest avoiding her/him by all means for being an utterly poor mannered player.

Maybe he just wanted to help you with your quest.
If you dont want help, just set a password?!

Hey, edited your post, OP: public shaming is not allowed.

Friend join allowed is actually a fairly good setting usually - just clean your list after every trade.

As for your case, not asking is doubtful indeed, but if you level up in public games it can happen.

Finally, just rekill Andy yourself if you want completion- the Qbug does no exist any more for her as far as I remember, so apart from some npc talks you missed nothing.

Have you actually read my post? I started a game to trade an item, and I set it specifically to 2-player only for that. Otherwise, I do not play with other players, and I always set a password on my games. Your sarcasm won't earn you any credit.

You're the boss here so you can do whatever you want on the site, but are you calling me a liar suggesting "not asking is doubtful indeed"? Anyway, I changed my game setting. Yeah, the one you called "fairly good setting usually". Not sure what that supposed to mean any way I look at it, especially on the "fairly" and "usually" parts.

Seems you misread my post, and nothing of being a boss or something else.

When I say "not asking is doubtful" I just mean to say that not asking before hitting Andy is not a good practice.

However, public games often tend to have people careless of what they do as there is no such thing as a reputation like here.

As for the setting, not sure how it works on switch, but on PC leaving the "friends can join" option is usually regarded as safe, as long as you keep your friends list clean.

That's all what I meant, hope it's clearer now.

Edit: just understood now that the option you removed was not "allow friends to join" but "make party with all players by default".

So my point above is irrelevant.
Sorry !

Thank you for clarifying, much appreciated. Apparently the default game setting for "allies" status in a given game allows sharing current character location and open portals, but it has nothing to do with the "friends" status, and you just confirmed that. We're good.
