I just wanted to apologize to anyone that has sent me a Friends Request that has not been accepted.
There is an ongoing bug thats been interfering with friends requests for several months. Why MindArk has not fixed it yet is beyond me. It happens any time the recipient of the friend request is offline. The result of the bug is that the friends list can not be view or accepted.
I've sent support cases in the past (last June) about this and today I sent this one:
Several of you who didn't know about this bug have expressed frustration to me for not approving your friend request that was sent because you wanted to buy or sell something from me, or whatever. I suspect there are more people who aren't aware of the issue and are wondering why the request is not being approved.

This ongoing friends list bug is creating a lot of problems for me (and everyone) with game play, with trading, and now with operating a warp ship. It is creating some anomosity because people think that I am refusing to do business with them, wont be their "friend", and is making it impossible to add them to the ship's guest list for a summons. I cant even send a team invite to someone who isnt in my friends list
The friend request is only not received if the avatar it's being sent to is offline. There is no way to accept, view, cancel, send again, and the person who was supposed to get it cant send one back to the original person.
Since this is a MMO, the social dynamics are extremely important, so because of that alone, this is a major problem. Seing as how this is a RCE, because this bug affects a range of things pertaining to the economy, fixing this should be a top priority. Instead, this has been an ongoing problem affecting everyone.
Can I please have a full list of all avatar names who are waiting for me to approve a friend request?
