Grouping via Discord - ran into an issue where I can no longer send friend requests

Console Discussion

To run bosses and nightmare dungeons, I’ve used the LFG channels from the official community discord. To join party I’ve had to send friend requests first. Now after 4 seasons of doing this, I’ve hit a wall/limit on friend requests here in season 5.
Some searching found suggestions of managing my pending friend requests, but the battle net app I found and installed on my mobile no longer seems to have a function/feature that allows this.
Currently doing some grouping with my clan, or being invited/friended from other players first. It’s just a weird external limitation to run into that impacts grouping in game and strange to be unable to manage that situation.

Delete anybody you don’t regularly play with. I’d guess they’re all in the same boat.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve been down that path and it didn’t change. From all the LFG joins I’ve sent friend requests for in the past, there must be a limit of ‘pending’ requests that haven’t been responded to on the other end. It’s those ‘incomplete’ requests that I cannot find to remove. The help pages I found suggested managing ‘pending friend requests’ was possible, but I cannot find a place to do that. In game friends, and battle net app friends only appear to manage completed/accepted friends, not the incomplete/pending requests that went unanswered. If only they timed out or auto-cancelled after a certain time then there wouldn’t be a need to find and manage them.

I am having the exact same issue, and my research gave me the same results. I have no way to remove any pending requests, as the option does not exist on console or on the battlenet app. This is really not a good experience, as it makes trading and partying up much more difficult than it should be. I can only sometimes join people if they invite me. It never used to be like this, it used to be perfect.

This doesn’t happen with any other game or app play/use.

This kind of issue really needs acknowledgement from the devs, as there is no way we are the only console users who are experiencing this problem.
