Unwanted Invites

[KrytosFallaran]

I've been in a few FC's before and they always end up being the same so I just don't want to deal with them anymore period. I don't even want to go through the hassle of making one or use the /away or /busy because I get asked to help with runs and such. I just want to be able to block the invites and that's it.

I've never joined an FC myself. I got spammed countless times when I was a newbie but the unsolicited FC invites seem to have tapered off once I hit 70 and completed Stormblood.

There are a few ways I can think of to mitigate FC invites:

1) Clicking Party -> Party Members -> Right click your name -> Edit search info -> typing in some sort of message in the blurb that you're not interested in a joining an FC

2) Spending most of your time in low traffic, high level areas. Most FC recruiters are concentrated in the primary three city states (Ul'dah, Gridania, Limsa Lominsa) and in low level areas where they hope to recruit newbies.

3) Being in and out of duty finder. Cross-world players can't recruit you into their FC because you're on different servers.

4) Spend as little time walking around as a low level job/class as possible in low level areas. I get more unsolicited FC invites when I run around as a lower level job than when I run around as a lvl 70, despite the fact that I obviously lack the sprout icon next to my name.

I seem to be mostly getting them just because I'm lvl 70 which they say " hey I notice your 70 and with no FC".

That's strange. I have multiple jobs maxed out at 70 and I almost never get FC invites anymore. People seem to realize that if I am lvl 70 and STILL don't have an FC, there is probably a good reason for it. Maybe it's a server thing? On Siren I notice that it's always the same FCs that keep sending unsolicited invites.

Yea I'm on Behemoth so it may just be with my server
