Unwanted Invites

[Ametrine]

Honestly, not being in an FC feels incredibly lonely in FFXIV, but if you want the quiet, you do you, man.

Anyway, I will note that if the invites are that gross and frequent, tagging yourself as busy is the only reliable way to halt invites completely. However, if you still need to be open to your friends, you can opt to either;
1) Make a linkshell for you and your friends.
2) Use the moogle mail system to communicate as needed.

Otherwise, there is nothing else for it.

Thank you I'm just tired of the 10+ invites everyday

Should the game have an option to block FC invites like almost any other MMO out there? Yes, but ATM your only option is to find a "creative" solution like other players suggested.

I agree with the original poster . There should be a simple check box under the chat options .
Right under the check box for trade offers .
Though i agree , the make your own fc for the fc chest , is a good idea.

Or do what do what I do. Accept. Spam constantly. So their chat is backed up for hours.

There actually is an option to auto-cancel any FC invite

My black list is full of nothing but people who send me invites I got rid of the RMT's a long time ago. And as for why I don't like them I find them to be a waste of time and nothing but toxic and full of drama as well as cliques.

The dumbest thing about the blind FC invites is that I have to decline twice. First to say "no" to whether I accept the invite, and then "yes" to whether I decline the invite. Like, what? Why is the UI trying to Bugs Bunny me into joining an FC?

Well there should be a "refuse FC invites" option in the game FROM THE VERY START, but since it's FFXIV and they take centuries to add basic options (nearly 4 years for allowing queues with the chocobo out takes the cake IMO), I expect this feature to be implemented in hmmmm.....8.0. Please look forward to it.

But jokes aside, the best advice is to put yourself to busy or away when you go to cities (that's where FC scavenge for people) so maybe put yourself into busy when in cities so that nobody will bother you. You won't get tells, but you won't get invites either.

Beside that, you can just ready your hand and just press refuse as soon as it pops.

Mind sharing said option that isn't the one everyone experimented?

Here's what you can do. Join FC. Turn off FC chat. Go into settings and disable FC tag from your name. Bam, it's like you're not even in one and you even get buffs.

I do agree, like every mmo- there should be an auto decline option in settings. But XIV at least gives you a way to ignore every single person possible. You are going to get blind invites every single day because people honestly don't care about people like you. Their goal is to get fresh bodies who are neutral or don't know what a FC even is.

Which is another point why I don't like them they see others as numbers just to say hey look we're the biggest here and don't care about those they invite. It grinds my gears when I see them using shout to say ranked 1st or 3rd on the server.
