Did you know friend list worked like this (I did) !!
|
@OP from this thread did raise a valid question -->
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3320953 However then sadly "killed" his own thread for "obvious reasons" when you read the post that was made. :( So lets make a new thread about it and lets talk about it.: So GGG have coded this to work like this and confirmed this to @OP from the other thread (so can never be a TECH issue)..... However many players don't know that this is indeed how it works. - Is that "ok" that it works like this ? - Does it "violate" a persons privacy ? - Should there be a function to block people that is "monitoring you" ?

Yes, I did.
I don't have an issue with it, but I do think that it is weird. Bird lover of Wraeclast Las estrellas te iluminan - Hoy te sirven de guía Te sientes tan fuerte que piensas - que nadie te puede tocar Last edited by Mikrotherion#4706 on Nov 13, 2022, 10:03:07 AM

Knew about it for years. It is odd.

Did not know that it worked that way.
It seems wrong to me. ~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.

It makes it easier to track scammers, helpful people with good info and good trading partners.

I like the way it works right now: you can label whoever you want, including scammers who blocked you. [Removed by Support]
I don't see why would we care if anyone interested can see which character we're playing and if we're afk-ing. This info can be retrieved by anyone with /whois command, or even from trade site (eg. make a live search with specific seller account). Last edited by 6_din_49#4066 on Nov 14, 2022, 4:07:40 AM

It's great for stalkers.
...don't ask me how I know. I have never seen a system of non-consensual friendship adding outside of early betas. It typically doesn't make it out of a small scale playerbase for pretty fucking obvious reasons. I guess it's proof positive of how amazing PoE is that at no point has it been even vaguely addressed. If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between. I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period. Last edited by Foreverhappychan#4626 on Nov 14, 2022, 6:32:41 AM

I've always known it worked like this and I don't really care - mainly because I actively maintain my own list (currently 14 people) so there's probably some debris and one-sided "friend"-states, anyway. E.g. if I get a random friend invite from someone whose name I don't recognise and they never interact with me in any way, I just assume that it was something like a bookmark for a trade that didn't happen and remove them after the league ends.

Its 100% odd. It makes no sense from a technical standpoint, nor functional one on the user end.
There is absolutely not one reason, NOT ONE, that it should be this way. Hell I find it creepy when Mathil does the /whois command to see what somebody is doing on their account to stalk them for a trade. It's all a bit much imo. We cant even get a summary of who is on the ignored list, or manage that, but the opposite user can monitor us, and see what we are doing? C'mon.
