You're right it's not that hard, but it could be time consuming depending on the number of toons, and if you're not careful you can accidentally delete some friends from one of several toon files. On the other hand pushing one button that updates everything seems easier and eliminates human error.

I take it you won't be a user of the tool, which is fine I don't expect everyone on the server to find it useful. For example people who rarely update their friends lists, they probably would see little value in it.

Others who are frequently adding someone's alt here and some other new player there, on different toons, they perhaps might find it useful.

If you care enough to want to keep your friends list the same then you will go through the time consuming process because there is no automatic way of doing it. But feel free to write a program to do it somehow. and i have 16ish toons that all have the same friends list so i know how long the process takes once every month or so. I mean honestly how many new people do you add to your friends lists in a given week?

If you add someone's new alt to one of your toons, you wait a month to add that friend to all the other toons you play? That doesn't seem very practical or convenient.

I think I prefer clicking one button, over manually editing a dozen or more text files to copy and paste which ever ones need copying. And even then each file is in a different order so you can't just do a simple side by side compare.

I still think it would be useful to have an app that creates an all-inclusive unique list of the friends from all toons, and then re-writes the friends list for every toon.

But if you enjoy doing all that manual work which is prone to mistakes, have at it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
