Certain Aspects needs changing

[Kirika-]

I definitely agree the friends list issue needs work.

I’ll usually accept random friends requests from people after running content or whatever, but I usually don’t interact with them much unless they seek me out. However, I will wave at people on my friends list when I see them in the wild but I always wonder if they’ve removed me (due to us not interacting) and I look like a maniac.

One of the non-FC associations I have is working with a group of dedicated The Hunt S-Rank spawners.
We do most all of the leg work needed in spawning the S-Ranks on our world server, and we do so for the benefit of all hunters both on our server and CW.
As is, we do not spawn and insta-kill, we spawn and announce across dozens of LS and then wait/schedule a Pull Time.
That said, several of the team have "ex-friends" who now "stalk" them so that they can troll the hunts and spawns by insta-pulling or MPK'ing.
Because they can't hide from the ex-friend, they are now forced to either do less spawning work or drop out all together.
All because the ex-friend still has the team member in their friend list, even though the team member has removed and blacklisted them.
This specific example would not happen if removal from a friends list was two-way.
