Not sure if this is the right spot to put this but I'm reallllly tired of getting friend requests from gil sellers.
2 possible suggestions
1st - At the very least when clicking on the friend request notification and you say "no I don't want to be friends with this person" why do you still need to open up your whole friends list and decline it there? This seems like an extra pointless step.
2nd - Why not just have lvl 1 characters be unable to send friend requests, yet still be able to receive them. That way you can still friend your new buddies who just started playing but the gil spammers can just mass friend everyone.

We know these spam bots get either deleted or locked down before the 30 days are up for them to have the new leaf symbol automatically removed. -

Just get 200 normal people on your friends list. Huzzah, no more RMT friend requests.

05-18-2015, 08:17 AMkyuvenThis wouldn't stop them. Remember that they use bot programs for their messages AND to powerlevel. Any sort of level minimum would just slow them down. Once. For a couple hours.Quote:

If you're on PC: once you declined the friend request, that name appears in your chatbox. Right click, black list. Don't know if it works on consoles too.
It's still far from optimal, but I guess it's way better than having to write a weird name down and then type it to add to your blist. -

No need to write down name, there's a message in chat log with name when you decline a friend request.

They should allow right clicking a name to report it and when you report someone it adds them to some special blacklist that doesn't have a cap you need to clear to add more people.
They make reporting sellers such a pain in the ass, that's why these people don't get reported. -
05-18-2015, 06:57 PMKaedrianLiangPlayer inconvenience is the #1 priority of the Dev team. They gotta keep those subs going somehow right? why not add 3-4 extra extra clicks and a cumbersome UI that requires navigation deep into the menus to get anything done.Quote:

it is annoying to double click to decline someone, these days min I log on I open player search. min lvl 1 max lvl 1, world. no names click search. RMT have typical gill selling names easy to spot, normally shift those names into blacklist.
Since been doing that, I don't get RMT friend request hardly anymore as already pre block them.
Only quick fix there is around right now sadly. -

9 pending friend requests is my record - what's yours?
Its so annoying to go through the decline/blacklist process, I like to batch up as many as possible then just whack them all at once! -

I've started to just ignore the friend requests, wait long enough and they will time out.

05-18-2015, 10:23 PMOlyverWIt works similar I can select the name from the chatbox on my ps4 and blacklist them by pressing Square which takes me to the menu with that optionQuote:

Honestly, I think you shouldn't be able to friend request someone unless you can physically click on them and send a friend request. When I wake up in an inn in Limsa I should not be getting a request from some random lv 1 gladiator in Ul'Dah that I've never heard of.

I think they should add a blacklist sniffer program. If an account gets onto 100 blacklists, ban them. I know that this has potential griefing consequences, but you would have to piss a bunch of people off to get b-listed by 100 being a legitimate player. Or add a cap on the number of /tells you can send per hour.

05-19-2015, 02:33 AMCakekizyAutomated bans are a very bad idea.Quote:

There needs to be a way to do a quick right click on name that sends in a report.
-
05-19-2015, 02:42 AMPruviantNot saying automate it, just send an alert to the dev team when 100 different b-lists happen. Pretty easy to research if a character is legit or not. If 100 people are annoyed/don't want to talk to you/don't want to run content with you and you are a genuine player you are doing something wrong, jack. (100 being an arbitrary number ofc)Quote:
