Okay, so i was writing down this huge thread here about pro-btags, going over the reasons why it’s good, the counter arguments for the anti-btag arguments, and then go on to help users on how to avoid unwanted Bnet requests, since it’s pretty easy to do.
But i figured (i still have the original stuff saved so, if needed, i got it) helping people out would be more beneficial for everybody involved instead. Not just for everybody, but for me to archive here and use in the future. And let’s face it…
Even i am tired of myself sometimes.
So how ya do it?
Well despite what you may hear on the forums, avoiding unwanted bnet requests is super easy. So easy you can actually do it in your sleep. I just don’t think about it even. Easier then creating accounts even.
So what’s going on? Well you retrieve a friend request you don’t want, and you can do one of 2 things.
- Decline them.
- Decline/Block them.
But what if i tell you, you can just simply let them rot? Simply ignoring them will just have that request be stuck there practically forever, making that person who sent it, unable to send anymore. You can even turn off the toasts for it, ingame so you won’t be bothered by this anymore.
Ahh, but what about on the launcher you say? Well, in short of saying “quit the launcher/end process” there are ways to avoid this too. Such as turning off the toasts, and the notification sound, as well the flashing. You can even hide these toasts while playing the game or in any appl in full screen mode.
Is there an Addon for this, i hear? Oh yes Gerorie. And they flooooooat…
Introducing, Leatrix Plus, the Massive QOL Addon that adds… quality to your life in World of Warcraft. Available both on Retail and Classic.
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/leatrix-plus
This will allow you to do many things with it to make your WoW playing experience better, like auto selling junk, making the skip cinematic button skip easier, hiding talking head boxes, has better UI frames for things like transmogs, automate accepting summons and quests, editing the chat options, show wowhead links… Check it out, it’s massive. But the one were talking about today is the “auto decline friend requests”
You basically type /ltp, go to social, check on the auto decline friend requests, and bam. No muss, no fess. Now nobody, no matter how many accounts they make, can ever bother you ever again.
The benefit of this is, you have more control on who can be your bnet friend.
And once you know that person and trust that person enough, you can decide to make them your bnet friend.
Taxed Largely; Didn't Rent:
- You can deny the request.
- Deny/Block.
- Let it rot.
- Turn off the toast ingame,
- Turn off the toast/flash/sound in the launcher, and hide the toasts while in full screen. (4 options there)
- Use LTP with it’s auto decline feature.
- and Only invite who you really trust and know.
10 options.
Edit: The report the request is tentative actually.
Anywho, that’s all i got for helping people out. Stay cool, and eat… uhh… bagels. Yea, eat bagels, it’s yummy. With Cream Cheese. Lots of it.
