It's a freaking PAIN that I can't simply add someone to my buddy list without meeting them face to face... err... or av-to-av!
Make Calling Cards more like a standard ICQ/MSN/AIM/Yahoo buddy list. Please!
I should be able to add anyone I want if they authorize me.
The CC system already asks if we want to exchange calling cards, why do we need to meet first?
I meet more cool people in the forums than anywhere else really...

I love how you used the term "RL IM". That's a bit of an oxy-moron, you know ;)

Well, one upside of this is it made me meet a lot of new people inworld -- something I quite enjoy doing. I have many fond memories of "D'oh! I didn't get your CC yet, TP me over!" But I can see where you're coming from, Eggy. :)

Eggy means ICQ, Y! MSN, etc, which are real-world instant messengers, as apposed to in-game messengers. I see nothign oxymorinic about that, now a time-delayed stock quote IM would be :)

I've wondered why exactly they made it so you had to meet in-world to exchange cards.. I mean, you can TP complete strangers but not exchange cards with them? Well, okay....
