Players you DIDNT invite can invite request themselves to join your instances+We need DM perms

I just had a random person in town friend request me and party invite me. I did NOT accept and I traveled to my next instance. Then to my shock, they showed up IN MY INSTANCE even though I did not accept their invites. This is beyond backwards and opens a door for player harassment, and this possibility of joining a person's instance who has not accepted a request needs to be removed ASAP. No harm was done but they unpaused my game which was paused near monsters. Imagine if someone did that to somebody's Hardcore character?

You also need to remove the ability for people who send me friend requests to see my online status, and grant us the option to "dis-allow non-friends to DM" and Hide Offline at least. I have several people I have not friended who wait for me to come online to DM me and I'm over it. Every other social system conceived in the past decade puts friend requests into a "Friend Requests", it doesn't automatically grant them pseudo-friend privileges which is just also an open door for easy harassment and tracking of people.

It boggles the mind that GGG haven't addressed this issue yet. It is a years-long problem.

I, too, get people whispering me, begging for help and/or handouts. 'Who on earth is this?' I ask myself, before realising that they attempted to add me as a friend x-months or x-years ago.

No means no. Declining their friend request should prevent them from adding us to their friends list.

I played yesterday with a friend, i usualy only play SSF so never noticed this before.
I had multiple people whispering me for "carry" or to sell me stuffs in like 1h of playtime...

Searched the option to block whisper from unknown person but couldnt find it.

That really surprised me, it's the basic when there are social interaction and it's really needed.

(It was in standard not even in league)
