easy way to add people to group/trade?

Hello, anyone knows of an easy way to add people to my group or trade? I usually type the name of the toon on the group box and click the gree + sign. Is there an easier way to do this from the chat box?

I usually ask around "LFG mission and bonus" and someone replies to me... can I automatically send them an invite? Or in trading situations... some easier way to trade other than find where the other player is and click on their name? It is just that players nowadays are getting names that are hard to spell.


Thanks!

Type /invite <Character's name> without the < and >.

Click their name to setup whisper mode. Copy name, paste in party box, press enter.

Thats what i do! Highlight name, Ctrl + c to copy then Ctrl + V to paste

Yep, that's indeed the quickest way.

Thanks very much!

What about for trading? Do I have to go find their toons, or add then to my group then trade? Is there any other way?

Easiest way is to add them to your group. Even if they don't accept, you can still select them from the party window to find them on your compass. Select them, hit trade, and you'll run right to them.

Of course, if they're not in your compass, you can't select them...so you'll still need to choose a location to meet up.
