Adding friends sends a request

Jazzza:
At the mo when you add someone to your in-game friends list, it only adds them for you. Not for both of you. This is painful if you've had a great few matches with someone and you want to keep in touch with them and (you guess) they with you, but you don't want to awkwardly ask them to add them to your friends list.

I hardly play so I hardly get people adding me as a friend (waaaaa) so I'm unsure if it does but what if adding someone notifies the other person? That way they can be reminded that they can add the person back.

Rainer Zu Fall:
It was once stated that the current friend system has been made the way it is (everyone may add everyone just like that without the added player noticing this) because of a few reasons - and it wasn't intended to be changed.
However, I don't know if the common opinion is still the same.

Why? You don't need them to add you back if you want to join them, should both of you be playing at the same time again. That's the good thing about this system: They don't need to approve of you adding them or add you to like playing with you. Some people only add if they played many matches with someone they start liking, others like everyone they once played with and won. It's up to you if want to add someone!

And, of course, some people add people they enjoying flying with or against.

My friends list is so long! I had to clear it out of people who hadn't played in 30+ days the other day. That took a while (mostly due to it jumping around to the top and stuff).

That's kinda what I wanted to express with my strange sentences, thanks!

Maybe there should be an "enemy" list, too?

Personally I look at this friends system and think it's pretty incomplete or substandard. I'm just too used to basically every other game implementing a better/more common system. Maybe if the GoI system was renamed from "Friends" I wouldn't think about it this way.
