Angry How do you handle unwanted friend requests?

When your pirate is high leveled, you would tend to get a lot of friend requests from people who like you just because your good, I've been getting a lot lately and I don't like it when I accept everyone but I don't want to look like a jerk if I decline. And I can't use the "saving room for guildmates" excuse.

It's just annoying because if I leave them on my list, they would either take all my enemies, try to take over my ship, or shoot at everything in sight. Sometimes when I leave them there they ask to join my guild, I say yes. And that means I can't kick them off my list.

I would just like your opinion and feedback.

I get about three friend requests within the first three seconds of logging on. It's truely annoying.

I'm not really concerned about hurting anyones feelings anymore. If I haven't "met" you here on the forums, or if I haven't played with you in game (and like your style), then sorry, I'm either flat out saying no, or clicking on that little "x" in the request box.

Don't feel like a jerk for declining Admiral, those that request you to be their friends just because of your pirates level should feel like the jerks.

Yeah if they don't even bother getting to know you, I hit that NO button.

There's even a game tip Disney has that is the most broken.

This is exactly how I handle friend requests...If someone just comes up to me and hits the friend button...NO...Declined. Don't worry about coming off as a mean person. 99% of the time you wont see that person again. Choosing friend's wisely is the number one overlooked rule in POTCO.

I know right! That should make them stop and think before inviting just ANYONE!

Disney should find a way to enforce that tip.

Yeah that's one of the main things that ticks me off with other players. Those kinds of people shouldn't be acknowleged.

Um, say no? You are not going to come off as a jerk for saying no..its just how it is. You have LIMITED space so why add people you don't know or want to that list?

I often get friend requests from people although I'm level 11 which I decline because simply, they haven't said a word to me!

Normally, I decline. If they keep pestering me, I accept, but make note of the name and then drop them after they go away (or I do).

In ToonTown, they have an option to turn off friend requests. They really need that here too.

I just hit the X at the top, it doesn't say "no" or "yes" to the person.

I was curious about that, because I chose this option several times as well.
