People on the forum are complaining as usual, without seeing what the update is bringing.
Information on the Followers Update can be seen here (this is where I'm quoting the benefits from):
http://blog.roblox.com/2014/10/ushering-in-the-new-roblox-social-experience/
Benefit #1: "Playing with friends and managing your friends list is a lot simpler." You now have the ability to be Friends with people you truly know, whilst having other people you may not know to be able to see your feed. You do not need to review who is sending you a request for others to follow you; this will only be necessary with friends.
Benefit #2: "Developers will have more meaningful control over permissions for games and private servers by using Friends as a filter. They can always choose to allow Followers, as well." "Imagine being able to play Apocalypse Rising with 15 of your friends on a private server. That’s where we’re heading."
Benefit #3: "Developers have the ability to create friends-only leaderboards based on Points earned and in-game Friend leaderboards." This allows for private competition on games that you like.
Benefit #4: "A more intelligent and meaningful feed that can filter between Friends and Followers." You can view what your Groups, Friends, and Folowers are posting/building, separately.
Benefit #5: "A more robust partying system."
The complaints that everyone is having all contradict what the update is going to bring. The update hasn't even been fully released, and everyone is complaining.

If you're going to try and make a point please put it in a nutshell
I threw a grenade and killed 50 people. Then the grenade exploded. |

I've seen only maybe one flaw in this whole system, and I think The ChangerDB made a post about it. Besides the problem TheChangerDB stated, I'm actually fond of it.

The first sentence of each benefit is basically a summary. |

| @EarnMedals You shouldn't have lost any, unless it glitched. Your friends were transferred to your Followers list. |

Problems, 1. No problems 2. What if I want over 100 people to be able to enter my place, but I dont want it to be public? And what if I need access to over 100 friends only places, say if I was on the BoD of a large buildig group. 3. Developers could create those already. 4. Same as number one 5. Dont see how that would improve the party system.
My big problem with this update is that the old system was fine, and I wouldnt be suprised if a bunch of self centered 11 year olds started bragging that they had more followers than anyone else. |

@henzalco
Thank you for providing reasons for the problems, unlike most people.
Here are my reponses:
2. There is a maximum of 200 friends, you can whitelist people on personal servers, and you can probably create a whitelist script.
3. The "Friends Only" leaderboard would appear under the actual Leaderboard tabs on a game's page, displaying the playerpoints of your friends/followers/following ONLY. I believe you misinterpreted what it said.
5. I'm not sure on how they plan on improving the party system. I was simply quoting the blog. We'll have to wait and see when the entire update is released. |

Can you stop bumping the thread? It's showing your desperate for attention.
And this is probably the stupidest update ever. What was wrong with the old friend's system? I had a bunch of great friends. That now i need to relocate and add again.
Seriously ROBLOX, what was wrong with the OLD ONE?
Jeez, are we trying to become twitter.
I only agree with benefit 3.

| @Frost4G I'm bumping this because some people are making ridiculous claims about the update. |
