With all these phisher bots around, I feel unsafe to accept friend requests and I believe it is a waste of time to accept someone's friend request to trade, only to realize that the person Im trading with offers me different items I dont want for the item Im selling.

My suggestion would be to have the option to have the person to send a trade offer to you, instead of clicking the friend request button, as that button is not there and replaced with the Send trade offer button.
