Unwanted Invites

[Roth_Trailfinder]

TC, you have three choices here. How palatable they are is your call.

1 : join a FC
2 : make some room on your BList for the unwanted invite spammer(s)
3 : make do with recieving such unwanted invites

Take your pick.

That or they ignore you or like one told me today if I don't want the invites just black list them but unfortunately mine is already full

It's a good idea to periodically go through your blacklist. Especially if it's RMT bots that you put on there. I went through mine the other day waiting for an unspoiled node, and removed a good 30-40 that were [Charter not found](or whatever it is when someone deletes their character/it gets deleted by GMs for RMT promotion).

You could just join one, not like you have to do anything or talk to anyone, you can just be in it, problem solved, no more invites. Even if you don't care about the bonuses, they're free, you don't have to do anything to have them. There's no reason to not be in a FC, if you one day decide you want to start one or join a specific one, you can just leave the one you're in.

I wonder... would it be a ToS violation to accept one of those random FC invites, only to proceed straight to the FC chest and, permissions allowing, dump a bunch of useless loot into it?

"Just blacklist me!" Yeah? Well how about you blacklist 47 stacks of beastkin blood and bat wings?!

Petty, sure, but it's a minor thing to clean up and what one should expect from spamming invites anyway.

Maybe if SE created a proper recruitment system then we wouldn't have an issue with blind invites. We should have an actual recruitment board in-game, players should also have a status to say they are looking for a fc, ls etc.

I;m curious why exactly you don't like FC's.

Those are definitely good suggestions. Especially the board. Have it like the hunt/market board, but companies put up a "flyer" like advertisement saying they are looking for fresh sacrifi...I mean new members. Then they could put their shouts that someone teleports around doing now on there and save time that way. Maybe have it so FCs need to rent a space on the board(just for another gil sink)

I like how people just ignore OP's wishes and tell him to join one anyways. If my real life friends didn't want to make an FC I would be in the same boat as OP. It's much more enjoyable to just not be in a FC and avoid the cringe, toxicity, spam, or all of the above. Sometimes it's just not worth the buffs especially since squadron manuals are a thing.

At the moment I would just make room on the blacklist starting with the obvious gil spammer names since those accounts usually go dark after a while. Being forced to go /dnd and blocking out all correspondence is annoying, but there aren't that many options available currently. Making your own private FC would be nice but you'll have to deal with getting people together to start it up and remove them afterwards. If you have a friend willing to help they can make alts to fill out the required starting members.

I mentioned it here months ago, but no one commented so I dropped it.

Maybe if people were less rude we wouldn't have a ton of blind invites. As to the OP you've been told what you need to do to stop the blind invites, yet don't want to do any of them so your only choice left is to live with it.
