Making Friends! Kupo!

So I've been wondering what is the best method to make friends with the people in the community on Spriggan? I've been asking myself this quite a while as I think that friend requesting random people because I think their character looks cool may not be the best approach. That being said, I think it can be hard for people to find friends in-game without joining an FC themselves. I've done this in the past on other servers and joined random FCs but I feel like unless you are friends with them to begin with it can be a bit daunting to stand out from the others and even then depending on where you are in the story there's a level of disinterest that comes with hanging out and trying to get those characters through some older content. As not to digress too much, I'd like to know if there are any people out there that randomly friend request others and what brought about the request. Was it a chance meeting, doing a duty together, FATEs, quest following, etc. Let's discuss!
