Friends list and Blacklist help

[ThatQEDguy]

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. With the further testing of Cross Region Travel coming up, the best option to combat this isn't even an option anymore.
