Like the title says, I wish that players from Tier 2 or 3 can't invite lower Tier Friends.

It's just not right that inexperienced Players joins FSC and they have everything below 3*

As long they didn't passed the gate in the clockworks from Tier 1 to Tier 2 or/and Tier 2 to Tier 3 they can't be invited to the Tier they don't have access.

Same goes for the missions just with a difference:
Only players who unlocked the mission can be invited like the example shows:

-One wants to do Vana mission but hasn't unlocked it so he can't be invited by someone else to do the mission.
-One wants to do Vana mission and has unlocked it has the right to join it.

Like the Spiral HQ says, they want only experienced Players with the right equipments to join the harder Missions or Clockworks and not inexperienced ones.

I'd rather they either get a warning, or that lower tier players be completely blocked from JOINING a friend from a higher tier.

I have no problem with inviting lower tier party members, just as long as they can't join of thier own accord.

What Hex said.

I don't want inexperienced people joining me without warning, but usually I'm okay with voluntarily inviting people that I know are skilled enough to deal with higher tiers despite having lower-tier equipment. A long while back, one of my friends used to invite me into T3 while I was still running around in 2* and 3* gear, and I oftentimes ended up saving his butt. I think adding a warning or confirmation would be alright, though.

personally

i think if a friend wants to join u regardless of your tier, go ahead, its just a game, have fun with friends, even if they suck, they will get more crowns, better items.. , which will help them get that tier.

Hexzyle has got it!

I thoroughly enjoy Hexzyle's refinement to this suggestion!
On a the side-note of "inexperienced players joining me with warning" I'm sure this suggestion would greatly reduce the number of players joining without alerting the party. This is important to me because I experience a short lag spike both when a new party member's portrait appears as well as when their sprite poofs into existence in the level. One of the player tips provided during the load screens is something to the effect of "Don't send invitations to or join parties without notice." This user etiquette should be promoted!

+1 to Hexzyle's refinement.
+.5 to the original suggestion made by Plutogold that I could live with if we couldn't have Hexzyle's suggestion implemented.

Just 'cause my shield is only

Just 'cause my shield is only 4* and I can't yet pass the HoH doesn't mean I (in my Volc Demo) can't Shiver-lock Vana with the rest of 'em. No to prohibiting invites for not-unlocked (but same-tier) missions.

I really prefer Hexzyle's version- provide a WARNING, both to the players in the group, and the one wanting to join (saying that they aren't prepared for the mission). It bugs me when a T2 player joins FSC or another T3 missions.

Tier limits

Make it restrictive to the tier; 1* and lower may only join T1 missions, 2-3* may only join T1 and lower missions, 4-5* may join any. By star rank I refer to their overall equipment, not if one of their three/four weapons is being heated while everything else is 4*+. I hate when I am doing Vanaduke and someone in my guild wants to jump in even though they are all 3* Jelly/Wolver/random armor with a random 3* shield while using random 2-3* weapons, then expect me not to kick them out. It may be my own fault for staying in the guild since I am not a master, but I like the name.

I only grade potential new content. This thread has my support for the previously stated reasons.

Im in full support of OP. No

Im in full support of OP. No inviting lower tier players, no way for lower tier players to join higher tier.

It will solve problem of multiboxing and dragging 3 T1 alts into FSC for quadriple money and heat as well as problem when random lower tier friend joins someone in your party and partially friend begging from lower tier random players who just want you to friend him to make him able to join higher tier levels.

You say that it will prevent you from helping your friends? Well, you can always help them IN THEIR RESPECTIVE TIER.

+1 to Hexzyle

I usually ask higher tier players to go to the mission lobbies of respective missions so I can join them to get recipes out of it, AH is overpricing it, alot.

"Then ask them to buy it for you"

I prefer to do it on my own to not disturb them more.

If I'm in the clockworks as a T2 player and my friend whom lacks only a shield cannot get through, why should we be seperated? I'd much rather go play something with my friend, after all.

This is a true story. My bro was doing a FSC run, and one of his friends wanted to join. He thought he'd be T3 so he invited. Guess what?

1* gear with some 2*.

My brother asked him if he knew what was going on, and what tier he was in, and he said something along the lines of, "What's a tier?"

Then he dies in 1 hit and leaves the party.

He said he has no idea. Methinks he was a random guy he befriended when shadow was a noob.

I dunno.

later, she said that she didn't like friends being mean to her, and that i shouldn't blame her, cuz she was only 8 years old.

I said she wasn't my friend anyway, cuz i immediatly removed her, and told her thx for telling me that, so i can report you for being underage.

i forgot. :P

It would be great to inspect our friends on our friends list and know what they have before we invite them or let them come.

From my expriences

One invites a friend, not knowing which tier he/she is in, to join their team.
he/she joins and O.O O.O O.O (<--t3 team is shocked)
Or...
a t1 / t2 joins your team without asking. Not Cool
so... why not...
have more options?
your friends in the friends list have a t1, t2, or t3 next to their names.
team leader can block specific tiers instead of just leaving party open.
as for the missions.....me dont like. i remember what i had to do to reach Vana clearance. and most of my help came from being invited to missions well above my own clearance. THANK YOU GAMBITS(guild)!!!!!!!
if i couldn't join players in Vana missions i would still be a 4* player :/ (vana missions had a 12k cr back then)
