if you are enrolled in a large guild and you may have some special friends such as adventure buddies, buff buddies and may be trade buddies. over the period when your fiend list grows ultimately you have to clear out some of your friend's to keep the list neat. when you are cleaning up you may remove some of the friends who are dealing with you regularly.
not because of the above reason i would like to suggest a "star friends" option in our friend lists. which will allows you to configure who are your star friends. by doing that you will have easy access to your favorite fiends and your buddies.
how do you feel do we need such feature or not.... comment please ..... any other creative idea's also welcome
Happy settling.
