I encourage you to think of a PVP system with no non consensual PVP that has all the various modes that you like. I'm sure Blizzard would be most interested if you have a good idea. As they have no announced the PVP modes of D3 yet, they are more open to radical ideas so long as its fully consensual only.
The problem with friend list only hostility is that tt doesn't eliminate the core problem of hostility. Non consensual PVP.. A griefer out to PK will attempt to befriend you first before turning hostile. Adding one extra step to the griefing process.
Yes you can unfriend him and yes he can't do it more than once per account. But that's a lot of painful effort for people who want no part to do with it.
From what I can see, Blizzard is trying hard to go the other extreme with D3 with regards to PVP as they did with D2. Back when, PVP was a free for all and any attempt to dissuade Blizzard was rejected. Was the game being targetted at the PVP crowd? Perhaps it was. Now the game is being targetted at the non PVP crowd with non consensual PVP being singled out as a deal breaker. Any system that will allow players to be PKed when they don't want to be will not be accepted.
