I don't mean automatically blacklisted. I mean, if I get a friend request from "SirRMT McSellGOLD", I should be able to click the name and blacklist immediately and cancel the friendlist attempt in-progress. As it is, I have to click "no" on initial friend request pop-up, open friend tab, click "decline friend request", and then click the name again to blacklist.

All it would take is for this level of shenanigans to suddenly occur on Japanese servers or in situations where the developers themselves are involved. Get players complaining about it in Japanese press, and I can guarantee there would be a change. The current FFXIV team is quite different from the FFXIII hallway simulator team.
