You just removed about 2k people from my list, are you serious about this. Are you trying to make people quit ROBLOX? I guess so...

They're all in your followers.


It's as simple as that.

They basically just made it so you can organize your friends easier with friends being people you know in real life, play with a lot, etc., and followers are your previous friends list.

I am only friends with my actual friends, I do not follow or be followed. They are my friends, not followers.

Support.

The worst part about this is almost everyone is confused. On my group wall theirs people saying "Guy's i need to warn you about hackers they removed all my friends" Instead of promoting their stream that does nothing they should be promoting a blog post explaining what happened. Tell them what the update does. Because i don't read the blog unless it would clarify a forum post. ROBLOX needs to get their crap straight.

@OP,
Your friends list is for friends, not to act as a hoarding ground for every person you've ever met.

@Others,
You were given plenty of warning over this impending update. A blog post on this was also published last October, detailing to users what they're doing and why:

Support. Usually I hate most updates, but this is just horrible and quite possibly the worst one yet.

1. yes that's true but many of us have way more than 5 friends.
2. that was months ago and we all probably thought that nightmarish plan was scrapped and so we all moved on with our lives.
3. We don't even have 200 friends, so what's up with the 200 max friend limit.
4. Treating our friends like followers is like treating your dog as a minion.

the warning of it doesn't make it any better. it is still a terrible update and just completely pointless.

the friends list should be just for random people, and best friends for actual "friends".

The thing I wanna know is, if 99% of the ROBLOX community didn't want this friends update, why the Hell is it still here?buttboy360

Because they do not listen to the community.

@Poke,
1 - What are you getting at here? Anyone who was your mutual best-friend was automatically added as a friend. The limit is also 200, not 5.
2 - That's just completely naive. ROBLOX has never and will never scrap an update indefinitely, and even if they do it's only for a short period of time. The fact you thought that is more so your problem, not ROBLOX's.
3 - I swear you and I are on a completely different page.
4 - Nobody is treating your friends as followers. Your friends list is for _FRIENDS_ not to act as a hoarding site for everyone you've ever met and talked to.

@Dino,
The fact they gave you a four month warning does actually make it better. They gave you plenty of time to add people to the necessary lists in order to keep them as friends.

And if that's how you feel about the friends list, what exactly is your issue with ROBLOX's new way? Your "followers"/"people following" are all the random people. Your friends are your actual friends.

@Swiift,
They did... If you bothered to read the blog article about the change, or tried it, you would know that they did do this.

"Today we’ve implemented the first in a series of changes that will improve your social experience on ROBLOX. The first switch — which allows you to now have a total of 200 Best Friends — has been flipped. "

@Buttboy,
Stop pulling percentages out of your ass.

Well if someone ain't broke, don't fix it. It just makes it more confusing and annoying. Now I don't know who my first friends were and it is so much less organised. Is it in chronological order of adding or what? I can't even navigate past page 1. Complete mess.

OP, no offense, but you are missing the WHOLE point
The point was to LIMIT who your actual friends are.
People like you with 2k friends didn't actually have them as friends.
Don't lie - you know it, as well as I. You can't possible be actual friends with every single one of those people.
They are better off as followers.
Your Best Friends now are Friends, which makes more sense, since Best Friends are more like actual friends

@Dino,
If ROBLOX were to live by that motto then ROBLOX would never receive an update, as per the logic applied as soon as they reached a stable build they'd never update again. Why have dynamic lighting? I mean, the lighting system before worked and it wasn't broken, so why add that?

As with every update, there will be some confusion. Give it a day or two.
