Please REVAMP FRIEND LIST!!!

[Onshinn]

The stalking is REAL, it is NOT at ALL nice when I 'unfriended' someone and I'm still on their list. There was NO WARNING that friend list works on this one sided way.

It's taking away my joy in making new friends, 'proper' new friends. When the STALKERS kept sabotaging my gameplay, my PF, my privacy, my everything in the game becomes a eorzea nightmare!

I need you development team to know I am NOT HAPPY in EORZEA right now for the last 2 years because I can't DO ANYTHING properly. There are vindictive people or just down right crazy people. I cannot for the life of me start afresh in a new server, or new name, or new eorzea raid goal when the stalkers keep dreading my game, does anyone even understand my plea?! Please! It isn't funny at all! They follow me everywhere! like everywhere! wherever I teleport they can find me! Somebody please help me make some noise to Revamp Friend List Please!

Any actual harassment can be reported to GMs.
But is someone hanging around you causing you this much strife?

File GM reports, blacklist them. Can't confirm, but blacklist may remove you from their friend list. Also, you will show up in player search, so if they really want to stalk you, they will do it that way. GM reports are the way to go in this particular case.

[Onshinn]

I've tried Blacklist, it doesn't work. its' all a one sided process. I know people can still search my lodestone. But in-game they know how to stalk without breaking the rules. whatever screenshots, reports etc etc. People know how to work around it.

Have a FC member who changed servers and character name to get away from a stalker. Said person was simply able to find them via their lodestone profile which didn't change, and followed them to our server. GM reports every time they contact you are the only way to go unfortunately. The more you file the better. Document every interaction no matter how small and you'll establish the paper trail that is needed for a GM to take increasing levels of action.

Hope you get peace soon

...in-game they know how to stalk without breaking the rules...

Stalking is a rule breaker. The reason you need file reports is the fact players are much more creative than automated systems to prevent abuse, and it is needed human supervision.

Then much depends how things really are. I once got reported by a fc-less player because I dare sent him a tell asking if he wanna join my FC (he just replied he had reported me for harassment).

[ShinMetsu]

I'm always curious to know all the details of such incidents.

[Serilda]

Wow, do those people have nothing better to do than follow you around? I'm sorry to hear about this OnShinn, but it's trivially easy for people to follow where you are in-game too with player search which always shows your location just like the friend list. The only benefit forcing the friend list link to break would be that your name wouldn't be highlighted to them. Please keep reporting them, and just ignore their harassment as best you can - eventually they'll realise they're paying to play a game of standing around someone who hates them and isn't upset, and have some kind of emotional awakening.

In the chat menu, set up timestamps (preferably linked to server time). Do whatever you have to do to get that stalker talking and get as many screenshots you can of your chat log. If they don't respond to you, keep taking pics of that person following you in as many obscure places as possible. Lastly, file GM reports as if you're filing a police report (exact details of each and every occurrence and THEN the emotional summary) with links to as many screenshots as you can cram into that report.

The easier you make it for a GM, the easier it will be to get rid of that stalker.
