As it seems ArmorGames allows to add friends without approval of those who actually "friended" - because some people use this exploitation in MMO games to transfer to "friended" person.

It might not seem ideal, but this is pretty standard for gaming sites. Note that when you friend someone, they're just your friend. It's only when they add you back that you're their friend as well.
It turns out that this way of doing things works really well for MMOs that give benefits for having friends. Many of them require dozens and dozens (if not hundreds) of friends to unlock certain perks/gifts/achievements. So requiring approval would just bog things down.
But don't think of it as an exploit or cheating. In fact, these MMO devs build the friend system around this fact. Though some of them do have an in-game confirmation system, which would work completely independently from AG's system.

Hope that helps!
