Hey!
Thank you for your feedback and engagement around the changes we were planning to make regarding the Friend list Cap. We recognise that is something that could have floated with the Community first and held discussions on it beforehand rather than running with it.
As such we will not be moving forward with this change right now.
However, we do need to do something about how we handle friends. From a technical perspective, the issue is not just having a lot of friends per se, or loading them all. The issue, rather, is with other features across the site that interact with your friend list in its entirety (activity feed, leaderboards, to name a few), where it's less straight forward to solve, and in most places there is already a cap of 200 (or lower) in place, to make sure the feature and product remains functional. On top of that, due to the uncapped nature of friends, it has lead to features both new and old breaking a lot in the past.
Taking this into account and your feedback thus far, it seems that there are use cases for having a larger friends list than we perhaps anticipated or rather we might not understand the value you put on being able to have a large number of friend.
It would be interesting and valueable for us to know how you interact with a large number of friends (apart from the friend list) on the site. So please let us know and we can gather this! :)
Thanks!

Filip Hey!
Okay i understand , basicly you saying you have to many bugs with other friendlist related features , that to reduce the list seems to be the only option.
i think that is a bit choosing the easy way out option.
maybe try to fix the originating bugs, i know its easy to say that but ye i feel like since the new UI update no bug was realy fixxed just created more and more...
and to the how many friends I interact with, iam sure its not all of them and iam sure all of them that have many friends, dont interact with all either but its seems like a ridiculous decision to me to enforce that you have to delete some of your friends.
its like facebook saying "ye sorry we cant keep up with all the features, so you have to delete friends"
maybe its smarter to delete some features, for exemple the feature where it shows when a friend is playing the daily challange. its so usless and i always think sombody texted me then its only this.
sorry if these all sounds a bit harsh but i love these site and the community and its like seeing it falling apart live and i dont want that!
thanks :)

- Now I cannot make team duels without clicking over 2000 times to delete players as need to click twice on every single player I need to delete making the game mode more or less inaccessible, as
- After years of building up connections in games to force this on players is arbitrary nonsense.
- It will take hours of my time to go through the list and check who I want to keep.
Should they implement this insane policy, I will ask for a refund on my remaining period and quit the game. The level of absurdity with this policy is ridiculous.
They cannot respond to a customer support message in over 2 weeks, yet they have time to create insane policies such as this which benefit nobody.

especially, why??? youve got worse bugs to fix or better features to make than restricting your users for no reason

A limit is fine but 200? Really guys? 2000 at least!
