Hacker/Trickery question

So this guy in Gridania sent me a friend request in game. We had never talked or met. So I accepted and sent him a tell, and he replied. We exchanged only a couple sentences. Then he asked if he could add me on PSN. I said sure. We talked a little bit more, then he asked me if he could help me level my LNC since I'm leveling a LNC now. He's a level 50 DRG. I was suspicious so decided to come here and ask. I told him maybe later as I had to go away from PS3 20 mins or longer. He said to let him know when I was back, and he is just standing there waiting. It just seems suspicious. I can't tell if he is just a really friendly person, or if there is some kind of trick that requires someone to be on your friends list and partied. So I'm now on his friend list in game and on PSN, and he wants to party. It all just seems so sudden, and the fact that he's waiting when I said that I would be gone a while which is why I said maybe later. He's in an FC. Am I safe? Is he just friendly?

Maybe he just thinks you're cute and wants to spend time with you?

when was the last time you watched "The Cable Guy"?

I am unaware of any "hacks" that require pairing up friends lists, in-game and thru PSN.

Maybe he just wants to be your friend and decided to AFK too lol.
To our surprise there are some nice people in this game...

That or he's a stalker and wants to see if you're a girl in rl
and find your location to do deeds unknown...or known.
:)

Sounds like a creepy stalker, abort!

Nothing suspicious he just wants you to be his hunnybunny :o

Were you naked?

Just sounds like some pervert randomly adding any girl they see hoping it leads to something.

His offer may be interested (as in recruiting for his FC) - though that still beats half recruitment offers on this game, where you just see an invite poping out of nowhere.

Or he may be "just friendly" (Yes, those people exist). Or lonely. or whatever.


As long as his offer to "help you leveling" does not include sharing account, I can't see what he could do to you (as far as scam/hack/... goes).

Just stay on your guard for what he may ask of you in the future (activity or personal info, RL or web-related), but so far, no reason to cut ties or fear this guy as far as I can tell.

Okay, so I played with him and everything seems fine so far. It wasn't for FC because I'm in an FC, and no I wasn't naked. XD

He hasn't asked me if I'm a girl in real life, which I am. If he does I'll know why he seemed kind of attached. He could just be really nice, but considering how many jobs he has at 50 he might just be looking to help others and pass time doing something extra. First time I've ran into someone like that and I've been playing since beta.
