Well I have set myself to invisible which I do not want to have to do, but I cannot do a boss fight when friend request windows pops up in the center of my screen. I cannot find a way to move it either. I is so absurd that you have not changed this yet. Once again a total failure of a company to understand how to retain players. I have played and left over 12 large MMO's because of these things. Dev's you cannot play with a friend request in the center of the screen. Cant we just have a window that stores friend request as the came in and we have to open it?

    Do what I do, rebind those keys to Num1, Num2, and Num3, then you can easily just press Num2 to decline. I have yet to get a random friend request when delving or skirmishing, or even while in a quest instance. It's only when I am running around PE and all my characters are visible and set to looking for group. You must be carrying too much sugar. :dizzy:

    Also, if you choose the "Later" option, it will be stored in your Social Panel where such folks will be listed as "Pending." However, I have noticed that if you do not choose "Decline" by either letting the window remain on screen or even choosing "Later," the spammers are able to whisper spam you. They are only prevented from spamming you (by the spam restrictions) if you press "Decline" before they spam you with a whisper. I reported this bug last week.

    It used to be just in pe.. I will grant you about once a day I get a request now.. even if I never set foot in one.

    How they find me in the middle of lostmouth is beyond me.

    Lately, I've been getting a PM with the Friend request....which makes it easier to tell me 'HIT the Decline button." Sadly all these constant declines have made me accidently automatically decline an actual Friend requesting. :/

    The main problem is that you can change your social preferences to avoid most of it but then can't be invited to parties.

    Do something yourself: right-click the requester's name, choose "ignore", enjoy peace and tranquility.

    Popping up in the middle of some combat should be fixed nonetheless...

    What I don't understand is you can PM someone you're not friends with so why the friend request? So the friend request +spam is kinda pointless.

    1 fix that they need to add is no requests during battle, that would this stop the annoying friend requests while in battle but while they're are at it they could finally fix it so people stop picking up items during battle.

    The gold sellers are all using it as presumably it bypasses the spam detection in game.

    a simple per hour/day/week limit per account would make this issue go away. i mean who really needs to add more than 10 friends in an hour. and if they do the other folks can still send them requests.
