World Friend System Overhaul [300 Supporters 95.2%]

Hello, first of all, this is not going to be a revolutionary proposal, it will actually be pretty down to earth, but maybe a bit controversial idea.

We all know that the friend system on Wynncraft is unique, but I think that's the main problem of it. Except for one game, I have never seen a server or a game with this kind of friend list system, where you can friend someone and the other person doesn't even have to accept it. This can easily lead to stalking and toxicity. Of course, you still don't gain all the advantages of the friendship when the other person doesn't befriend you back (like seeing you on the dynmap), but it's still a bad feature that's been in the game since forever. Another problem is the fact, that sometimes you friend someone, but they don't notice, or they are not online and then you feel awkward when they don't friend you back.

So my suggestion

- Completely remove this feature of adding players as friends without their approval
- Friending someone will send players a friend request
- People who receive friend requests will be able to accept or deny them and will be notified about them
- Players will be able to send only 3 friend requests per week to the same person (if all of them will be denied)

**Player who was getting these friend requests can still send a friend invite to the blocked person if they change their mind in the 7 day period.

- Add these commands:

/friends toggle - will toggle if your friends can see you on the dynmap (default setting would be on)
** This command could also be added as /toggle map

/friends pending - Will show you all your pending friend invitations and requests

- Denied invitations would show up as denied for until you confirm that you know about it by clicking the confirm button (so that you would know that someone has denied your friend request).
- You will also be notified that your friend request has been denied upon your first login since the person denied your request (it will only show up once)

- Requests you would be able to accept or deny either by clicking on the tick or the cross, or by using commands:
/friends accept Guy10
/friends deny Bruh9


That's probably it for my overhaul of the Friend System, if you have any other ideas or feedback, please post it below and I'll gladly improve this thread! (I had some other ideas, but don't think they would fit)

 

One change I'd make to the invitation denial is it should show up when the person that sent it logs into Wynncraft instead of it lasting 2 days after it had been denied as players can tend to take at least a week long break from Wynncraft.

 

Ye, I kinda like that as well, I might rework that later, rn I'm just working on a different suggestion tho.

 

Yes please. It's honestly disturbingly easy to stalk someone [Citation: ask my stalker] or to harass them by just friending them to keep an eye on them. It would be nice to have some say in that (I'd also love if you could hide yourself to the /find command). I'd miss knowing when the admins were on, but this would be a huge improvement in every other respect. You should also include some sort of limit for how often you can send friend requests to someone, because I've played games with friend requests the other person has to accept, and there's always some obnoxious person who spams them. If nothing else this makes hide-and-seek nicer.

 

Reworked the Invitation Denial, I hope it's better now

Tried to include the limit, check it out if it's fine!

 

That looks better.

 

I'm just gonna assume that anyone who votes no and doesn't give a proper reason is one of those nasty stalkers (also bump)

 

i liked friending every major ct member to stalk them but it had to be done
you could also add some kind of better friend list gui thing

but then i cant stalk prof bomb throwers anymore

+1. I seen lots of conflicts over stalking within just the prof community. People stalk me all the time too although I don't mind.

 

Honestly, I was kinda surprised to find when I first joined last year that the friend system didn't have an accept/deny function. It's kinda annoying that it doesn't have that feature cause there's been people who've friended me just because I was throwing some bombs and followed me to another world because they thought I'd be throwing more when I was out and had stated so. So.. kinda weird and annoying although not the end of the world. But it would really be nice to have a say in who you're friended with and to hide yourself from the dynmap as you stated.

THIS WOULD BE SO LOVELY! Signal boost the heck outta this.
