Why is the Friend list function one sided

I don't like the idea that people can add me to their friend list without me knowing and can possibly stalk me.(haven't ran into that problem) I just think they should make it like it was in Xi I have to accept to be your friend. I know this isn't an pressing issue just want friend list to be an 2-way agreement. Your thought's?

/ignore

Problem solved.

Are you kidding? Without a player search function, adding people to my friend list is the only way I can get linkpearls to new people when they apply on our website!

Don't take one of the few features we have away!

Well, as a stalker, I like this feature.

Allow someone to be added even if there offline but they need to say "Yes" or "No" i agree i like this idea. I was stalk by someone who i had to move server due to him seeing when am online,.

That's an design flaw on both ends don't try to save something that's flawed to help another flawed system.

I don't think it is as flawed as it seams. It can come in handy at times.

I don't see how this would be so much of an issue. If someone is stalking you, you should talk to a GM. If they ever get around to adding a search function they could just /sea you whenever they wanted, and most likely see which zone you are in as well. It would be nice if they had an invisible status though, where people couldn't /sea you and you wouldn't show up on friends list. Though, you might argue that an invisible status could be used as more of a stalker tool. Lol.

The friend system is a realistic interpretation of real life, most friendships are one sided.

On release they had it so when you add someone the other person got a message and it also added them onto your friends list, but for some reason it got ninja changed.
