i have to ask that quite often tbh, alot of the connections i make i add to f-list, and usually forget them down the road....majority of them are unid buyers, pick sellers, or my trusty skull farmers.

Considering how guild wars friends list is flawed to begin with, no it doesn't really bother me.

It would be nice if you could add a note to the name, i.e. Inscribed Shards, 13k, x-guild, Monk

Or when someone messages you out of the blue with "Hey!" and you have no idea who they are.

And when they do they I simply either A) Don't respond, or B) ask who they are. NO big deal imo.

I usually just play along and say hey !!!

Yes, I agree you need to make notes to the peoples names so its easier to remember. But if you haven't talked to that person in along time than your basically not really friends and the best thing to do is to just delete them off your friends list and to forget about them. For an example:

1 yr ago.
Me: Hey can you help me get armour!
Guy:Sure
Me:Thanks!

| He gets me armour later on|
Me: thanks well ile add you to friends later!
Guy:later
|3 weeks later|

Guy: Hey!
Me: WTF!?! WHO THE.... WHO ARE YOU!
Guy: ....
Me: O'well

|deletes off friends list|

Not everyone on my flist is a friend though, that's what creates the problem. Add the ability to make a note about people and it'd be fine.

Meh, this happens to me alot, to and fro.

I often go on reserves of not playing the game for a while, and not talking to certain people for forever to a point where you get a random PM from someone and you have no clue who they are.

Well, my friendlist is quite big since I rarely remove anyone from there. Sometimes when I greet a friend I get a "who are you" reply. and vice versa

Yeah. This is why I don't use the GW FList. It's utterly useless outside of keeping track of people you like to annoy (i.e. Avarre).

Mine is full of old skool people. I keep them on there just in case they return one day. So roughly 95% of the people on it haven't played in 2 years, the others are from here, and even they are never on if I pop in for a minute.

Tbh I don't add people to my friends list, Just people I know IRL. I have enough friends to talk to in my guild.
