MHT Room Names

Either my understanding of room names is way off, or people just have a total lack of respect and consideration of room names. I guess it could just be me. Maybe it's just that people like me so much, even though I am not on their friend roster, that everyone wants to be my friend in rooms created for Friend Roster play. Or maybe when I create a room for solo play, they think I am lonely and am desirous of companionship. Maybe someone here can help me decipher what's really going on.

Here are my questions. Why do folks enter a room created for friends who is not on my roster, then complain when I politely explain that the room is for me and my friends? I just don't get it. Or why do people enter a room I created for solo play, and leave after a few minutes when they get bored because I am on a lengthy solo quest? What did they expect when they entered? That I would just be sitting in the tavern, waiting for three more players to show up for a party? Is that the real definition of solo play? I don't know. Someone help me out here, because I really don't get it.

But the strange thing is, the reverse does not happen. When I create or go into a room for everyone (Everyone Welcome), I run into all sorts of folks not on my friend roster looking to create a party for quests. That's kind of what I expect, so I guess I am just not getting what the real etiquette should be.

Unless I am way out there in my understanding of room names, GET A CLUE PEOPLE. Don't enter a room for friends only if you are not on the friend roster of someone there. If you enter a solo play room, don't expect to form a party. I don't know about anyone else, but when I create a room for solo play, that's exactly what it means.

Get a frigging clue folks, and respect room names.
