Steps: Twice today after the Sunken Temple of Qarn, I tried sending my other group members friend requests (after I had left the duty) and each different person I tried to send a request to I got a "Cannot locate a character with that name" message.

This wouldn't be such a big deal if I could message the other players in game or write them an in game letter saying "hey, something's not working right but here's my name so you can add me later" but I can't do that with people who aren't on my friends list...
