That note has been there for a while, but considering the little nuisances still manage to invite me makes me wonder if this feature is yet to be implemented.
Either that, or they're actually making enough money to pay the subscription fee for dozens of accounts, per server for advertisement purposes or there are a lot of people that manage to get their accounts compromised.
My guess is the first, but I haven't tried making a seperate trial account to confirm.

Can they invite you if you have your chocobo out? Just a thought.

Nope, having your Chocobo buddy out is a work-around to avoid random invitations.
