SE Please Don't Change The Way Chocobos Are Party Members

I'm guessing that the OP hasn't seen the recent live letters.

it's too late snice coming in 3.5 chocobos will be pets instead of party members, allowing us to have 8 chocobo out in a party of 8 people and go forbid be able to queue with chocobo out

you cant be serious. Away status.

boom.

Incidentally, while Away status is certainly an option, SE should offer something more explicit. Why should anyone be forced to imply that I'm AFK to avoid RMT party invites? Can't there be a simple setting, overridden by Duty Finder / Party Finder, that indicates whether you are accepting parties (with exceptions allowed for FC / LS / FL members)?

There should also be a similar setting built for Free Company invites especially (auto-declining ones that don't come from a 'known' source to the player), and probably an auto-decline option for Friend List invites as well.

Why don't just join their party, change to low level job, /follow them and afk for free exp?

Or cut the middle man and just bot yourself if you wanna be that lazy.

All of a sudden a fate party went from 8 players to 8 summoners, egis, and birds... a damn 24 man raid party of pure dps death. I love it. And love the inevitable party finder "Fates... SMN only!"

That reminds me of SMN only WP runs. Those were fun.

Yep. It only limits receiving tells or party invites.

Let their invite sit there. You're free of spam for 5 minutes if you do that.

It doesn't really seem that common though anyways to get invite spammed. And yes, I do play on servers other than Balmung, so don't say I don't know the problem because of my server.
