I have noticed many occasions where friendships only appear on one of the two friended members' profiles.
Are 1-way friendships possible, or is it a glitch if a friend only show up on 1 of 2 friends' friends lists?


This is a very common phenomenon on the MW:O forums. I can browse someone's friends list, click on a friend to see their profile, and find that the friend has no friends. It also happened between myself and others - I have friended another player and my profile showed up on their friends list, but they did not show up on my friends list. Also I have heard of people friending another player and that other player not even knowing it because the friender did not appear on the friendee's profile.

I think if YOU click the Friend it shows them as your friend.. But you only show up on their page if they approve and agree your a REAL friend :)

I agree it is flawed system. I could basically add everyone in the community as my friend and they would be there.
I'm talking from my personal experience when I tell, that I didn't get any notification and found out about the "friendship with nubnub only because of one thread aimed at it. He is still not shown on my list of friends, though. :mellow:

I'm not always alone, but when I am, it isn't forever.

This might be a little off topic , but.....what are those 5 stars for/do that are below your name in your profile ? I know I should have a clue , but I don't. :) ( I think you're right Prosperity it does have that feel and it does'nt pass the smell test.)

People who come to your profile can give you a rating. Like rating of videos, just with people, which is pretty immoral if you think of it. ;)

I want to reitterate that:
  • This WebSite Support question is not related to the *[REDACTED]* / Grey Death Legion Intelligence War
  • I have noticed this phenomenon prior to the Intelligence War, and it has been bugging me for more than a month
  • This phenomenon appears UNRELATED to the user's bility to show/not show their friends
For me, the time that got me to write this support notice was when I added another player as my friend. I later checked my friends list, found that he wasn't there, and assumed he unfriended me. Weeks later, I think, I jabbed at him for unfriending me but he checked his profile and I was right there. He wasn't on my friends list at that time, so I had to add him a second time before he showed up on my list.

Sounds like SOMEONE in charge of support duties is being a nubnub.
