SUGGESTIONS & IDEAS: The revamping of the friend follow system (bringing back old server lists?) Probably going to be overlooked but whatever.
Now I know what all of you must be thinking, "Look another nut begging for the return of an old feature" but hear me out.
The friend following system has been integrated into the site to the point where you cannot join a server of your choosing without a friend being there. Yes this sounds stupid, why wouldn’t you want to join your friend in game?
Say for example there is a game with say 50 players online. There is a slow and laggy server of 27/50 and a faster much smaller server of 23/50. Say your friend is in the 27/50 and you are continuously forced to join their server repeatedly just because they are on your friend list, a server which you deem unplayable and not fun due to you not being able to play the game to your fullest due to the slowness.
This can also work in the other direction in which say once again there is a game of 50 players and there is a server with 47/50 and 3/50. You want to join the bigger server but yet you cannot as your friend is in the smaller server.
This I know is frustrating for lots of robloxians nowadays but it was not always like this. Remember when you were able to check server lists to see all the servers that were available instead of just the servers your friends were in? This created servers that all players could enjoy whether it be joining a small one to reduce your lag or joining a bigger one for fun, or well just rejoining to any old server it was player optimised.
Now I know Roblox must have had its reasons for removing this feature but this was an essential feature that I feel should be brought back. Yes Roblox is about enjoying time with your friends and who doesn’t love playing Roblox with their friends? The point I am trying to make here is that the system right now is too forcing friend following too heavily and not giving robloxians a choice. You could still keep the auto friend follow into games but keep the old server lists as I can see that working much better than what we have going here. Even making your own settings to no one can follow you specifically doesn’t change the fact you automatically follow people in game and cannot stop this and that is the annoying factor many are facing here.
I am sure you guys can make much better response for or against this and I am happy to just start this discussion in the forum itself. |

| @Jack Thats how I felt they went about with it as well. It was a perfectly good server list system that benefitted everyone |

| I feel like they could easily have revamped it though. For example adding pages instead of that "more servers" button that went down. |

@OP They only removed server lists because of the bots right now. Don't worry, they are being added back when ROBLOX can get rid of the bots.

If you put that back, little miniature brains will explode looking at it. Although, I do agree with you. You just have to have a decent functional brain to comprehend it. |

| It never coming back and since roblox has millions of users everyday they won't hold Millions of users as Once plus the fact they can be easily Botted. |
