Unable to reject friend request

I send ally requests to see if theyre online durng my climb. Another thing I love to do to annoy the shard chat folks.

actually this just happened to me as well. accepting and denying didnt work, and removing the person didnt change anything either. its pretty annoying seeing the notification

So accept it and then remove them from your allies.

This is the correct answer.

Then you will forever appear as a friend to the person who requested it on their device.

No you won't.

Yes you will always appear on their friends list. By removing someone as a friend they disappear from your friends list, but you remain on their friends list.

This used to be a tactic for borrowing a character to complete the hard nodes. Lots of people would add someone as a friend he would accept then remove them but they could still borrow his characters and view his account via friends tab in game.

Unless this was changed that's how it works.
