Absolutely! I did it for all of my alts too! I can see the reason for a /findfriend command, but they couldn't have been thinking about crafters when they came up with the idea! I wish I could have an anonymous mode so I could play Momoko during the busy times of day!

I did some testing on this, and it does not tell you what planet the "friend" is on. It just says waypoint created and if they are on another planet you see nothing else, now I'm willing to guess that if you go to that planet then the wp will show.

Actually No..I tested this out with a friend..and if they are on another planet, the waypoint simply appears in your datapadwith their name and on which planet. But it only makes a waypoint for them where they are at that exact moment that you did the find friend. There is nothing to stop the friend from moving on after that point to another location

edit: Forgot some information.

A lot of players are uncomfortable with the fact that any joe schmoe can see that they are online, if that schmoe has the player on his/her friends list. We've been promised, in fact, an /anonymous feature so that we can logon in peace.

Now, to add insult to injury, if you add someone to your friends list, he/she can stalk your position. Now, there are many people I keep on my friends list, and it's a convenient tool for noting down customers (nice and evil ones), suppliers, etc. I don't want those people, however, to know my exact location at all times, so I'm purging my list of everyone but my close close friends. So basically the friends list has become almost meaningless for me because if I add someone to it, I'm forced to ask myself whehter I want that person to be able to find me at all times. The answer to that is usually NO.

Tailors, and all crafters for that matter, are usually victims of tell hell when they log on. The last thing they need is someone barging in to wherever they happen to be hiding. Tailors have purged their friends list, because of patch 10. That's just not right.

Please, please, please reconsider this evil feature.

That is exactly right! I can't think of many things more annoying than someone saying, "I need some uber doctor cloths. I will be there in a minute." when you are out checking harvesters or refilling vendors or just doing things with friends.

Here's my idea of /findfriend

/t Friend1 dude where are you
Friend1 tells you "dant 3340 2232"
/waypoint 3340 2232

Now I realize that /findfriend is a lot easier, but hell, if you want someone to find you, there are already-existing easy ways to do it. With all the time sinks in the game, we can deal with typing in wp coordinates or sending an email with the wp.
