Friend Request Change

Do not allow friend requests untill you have at least replied to the person.

Tired of gold spammers sending friend requests now.

^^^ Ditto !

I'd rather they just fix the friend requests so refusing them actually works, and so they don't interfere with blacklisting.

Currently, even if you click "No" on a friend request, it still remains in the Pending state until you actually select and cancel it from your friend list. It should be fixed so that "No" means No. And you should be able to blacklist someone regardless of whether they've sent a Friend request. If those two things were fixed, the Friend request wouldn't help gil spammers and they'd stop using it.

I would prefer something more like how syncing a Bluetooth device works - you cannot be friended unless you make yourself "friendable" for a limited period of time. Conversation is still possible. You can work out whether to friend each other in chat, then do it. Seems pretty obvious to me.

But they just wanna help...! =D
Jokes aside, it really goes on my nerves as well.

I think this is a good approach. It would stop the gilspammers and have no adverse effect on real people.

Simply put: Blacklist means "No, I do not want to be friends." Then that should automatically decline the friend request..
