You basically have to make the effort to give it to a friend personally or go out of your way to leave it out in the open for anyone to see, in which case you already know what risk you're putting yourself in. Not something that wouldn't happen more often with username, especially if it's the same name that end up on leader boards, forums, and achievement list... Or at least, that was my take on the situtation. I have been known to be wrong from time to time. |
Ya because if its wrong and the friend is on your list isnt your friend you could'nt just kickem off your list that would be to easy! I guess those of us spoiled by live and even PSN should just suck it up and learn that secret codes are WAY BETTER. thats why headsets and voice communicaton is cool for verifying friends to. How many people here on this site are in your friends list and what kind of FBI check did you do to protect yourself??? At least with Nintendo there is no talking just messaging again if some one is offensive kickem from your friend list or does Nintendo offer that????
