    Friendslist and Blacklist needs fixing

    On mobile so forgive the formatting and errors.

    I believe the blacklist and friends list needs to be looked at asap. As they stand, they open up people to being stalked and put more power into those would-be abusers.

    If you are mutual friends with someone and you suffered abuse from them, as soon as you unfriend and blacklist them, you haven given them a ton of power over you. Whenever you unfriendly someone, it only does it for your side. You will still be on their friends list until they remove you. The only thing the blacklist does is the following:
    Sending tells
    Teleporting to your house/apartment/FC(From your menu)
    Joining your PF
    Trading
    Inspecting your adventure plate

    Things unconfirmed, but possible:
    Porting to your house/fc if you use someone else's port list


    Here is what they can do(if prior friends):
    See your online status(includes duties you're in or other worlds)
    See your search info
    Request melds/repairs
    (If following) lodestone info
    Join parties if someone else is leader

    Additional info:
    If you were Eternal bonded with someone and you rescind the bond, It only does it for your end. Their ring will still work to teleport to you. This is unacceptable regardless of what mindset Yoshi P has.

    I know some suggested ways to combat this is to report them. But it's very hard to prove that someone is stalking you if you port to the same area. They could easily say they just happened to go there for a unrelated reason. It's also hard to know if any action was taken since generally, you don't get any notification if anything was done.

    The only way to be rid of someone attempting to stalk you is to completely move Data Regions since DC travel is a thing now. This should not be a thing still yet it still is. I understand that Yoshi P doesn't want to do it because of a JP mindset, but he needs to come to terms that bad people play this game and he needs to protect players.

    I really hope I'm not the only one that sees this as an issue.

    Q: When I delete a person from my friends list, I want my character to disappear from theirs, as well!

    Yoshida: That would lead to the problem of “Why did he delete me?” and might cause trouble, so we didn’t do that on purpose.
