FFXI is great and I want this return

I don't understand why you would have people in your friends list who you want to hide from, especially when you mention them as "trolls" "finding you anyway".

Just get rid of people who you don't want to be surrounded with. everyone else should understand the BUSY Status.

1) You don't know they are trolls or whatever when you add them
2) removing them from your friendlist doesnt remove you from their
3) Busy is like cutting your leg because it hurts sure it wont hurt anymore but i'd rather not rely on that
4) ignoring/refusing to do whatever your friends are asking for will end up with them no bothering asking you again.

yes, that is a natural reaction to what is suggested based on the persons actions to not be social. that just like real life, if you ignore your friends they will stop reaching out.
