Friend Found Me While I was Set To Offline Status In Game

[Scribe]

Can anyone tell me how to avoid this or how they did it please?

At times I just want get things done then deal with friends constantly asking of me later...

If you are in offline mode no one should be able to whisper nor port on you.However that does not mean they cant stumble upon you randomly in the world.
How did your friend ''find'' you?

Yeah I must have got really unlucky because they walked right up to me while I was waiting at a Dark Anchor... wow how unlucky can I get lol there is even multiple world instances when you log in and out lol.

Then it was just coincidence indeed,even the map seems huge and there are so many places,it happens to me often that I stumble upon the same people.
Not necessarly friends,just known faces.

Guess my lesson from this is to just say no to friends politely and not try and hide lol...

Not to add salt to the wound but there is an addon w which you can see if someone the cursor points at is a friend, guildie (and which guild), or ignored. I have it and proved very useful.

Just dont have friends. Problem solved ;)

It feels bad if I decline a friend invite though, especially if we've done stuff and chatted pleasantly.

Maybe I should just hit decline...

learn to say "no" or to negate an invite? its liberating

If you look at your friends list in game it tells you where they are.

... and teleport 2 them XD (well, close enough to them, when it lets you go there).

As large as Nirn is, I actually run into players I've seen in completely different locations sometimes within a few minutes of time. It's pretty weird, but it happens. I buy some items from guilds and go fight at a dark anchor or WB, and the crafter will be standing beside me. Small world.

just become a nightblade and go invisible all the time.

Friendship in ESO becomes a permanent Reveal spell, allowing people to see you when you are in game every time you log in via friends list; and even in offline mode they can id you at Line of Sight w an addon that id's friends, guildies, and ignored ones >)

Same w guildies while ingame: they show at guildies list.

Sorry, ruined a friendly joke? XDDDD

absolutely disgusting
imagine waiting at a dolmen and then instead a "friend" shows up
its a realy terrible world we live in. xD

I dont realy understand what this addon you mentioned does but there are some disgusting addons out there, like the one that tells everyone which loot i got
or even port to friends home where you do not even need to be friend with someone just know his @name to visit all of his houses.

Welp, after everything, Molag Bal and Daedra in general are kinda friends (at least from the perspective of the negatives about american culture), and show up unexpectedly and often... and are disgusting AF.

The addon I refer to, simply adds more grief to the already given "sniper" capabilities of the reticle: It shows a distinctive icon w label at your reticle when you are pointing it at friends, guildies, and ignored players (including guild blacklist), just when you thought we saw already too much data above players when pointing at them by game default features (but is needed to id improperly behaved people, or you couldn't know who you gonna report at all when grieved or scammed).

Addons to know others' loot are not so useful at GD's, arenas, and trials, where people mostly abandon group as quick as they finish and ignore chat during the activity unless they are grieving or feeling grieved. Some are buggy atm, so in the end it became less grief for the targets and more for the users.

The issue of visiting your house can be solved by setting the visitor permits, specially at whichever is your primary house. The addon merely automate the process of try to travel to players' primary house, but can't bypass blocks or let them go to other than primary house w/o the owner there. Also, you must be in a non-primary house for others to try to port there, and no house can be altered w/o decorator permit, and never can be looted.

Yep, I just busted your potential grievers like a pro NB :D
