Only 100 friends?

Last night met a dude who was trying out PS version of the game and need a crafter. I made him blue set gear and food and everything and at the end it wouldn't let him add me as a friend. He said it said, This character reached the max friend limit. I checked and was at 100. So I deleted 6 people yesterday that have not been on in 1-2years and accepted and am already back at 99 today, talking, dueling, and did a vet dung fg2 and added someone. I can delete 13 more people to get it to the friends who have not been on in 3 months. But why such a small limit? And why a limit at all?

✭✭✭If you have that many friends, maybe you should consider forming a Guild.
Then you could have 500 friends.

Cêltic421✭✭✭✭100 enough more isn't necessary. You allow to be in 5 guilds of 500 people so that's about 2500 people you can use as a friend list. But really 100 is more than enough. Not like you play with all the people on your friends list.0 -

✭Do you truly need all those people on friends list? I mean I know a few people who have a lot of people on friends list but its not because they are close friends, just different raiders wanting contact with each other because they aren't in the same guild.
After narrowing down my friends list of people who don't play/I didn't know well, I have about 35 friends.
Maybe I'm different, but those people who randomly friend you after doing a dungeon together generally don't mean much to me.Make PC NA raiding great again!

Yes, I think most who played since launch have to constantly delete people to add anyone.
Would be nice if they increased this limit.3 -
CaiWenji✭✭✭✭I see what you guys are all saying but I still. Many people I meet, I talk to often. Some people may remember stuff and check their friends list along time later to catch up or reminiscence or group up again or if they need something or I need something. Not like everyone can be on all the time so the more friends you have the more chance you'll have online ones.
If I start deleting more old friends they may thing why did @PangTong delete me? Was it something I did? Is he mad? Sad? Doesn't wanna be friends any more? You know? I hate deleting people and even people 2 years ago. With Morrowind coming out soon, I can see ALL of them coming back online.
And as for the guild suggestion? That's all good and well but when most the guilds I am in are little guilds, helping out friends start up their guilds many people decline to join because they have maxed out trading guilds famous and rich, with traders in main towns. Biggest guild I am in is my PvP one. The rest are tiny sized ones where we do everything. From dungeons to delves. World bosses to dolman farming. Crafting to decorating and Alliance war to dueling. And don't forget questing and playing the /lute!
So yeah, I would like to meet more people and talk more often but how can I do that when the game has a cap on a friends list? I heard the PS4 has no cap because its PSN names and bet xBox is the same but why do consoles get that privilege? Especially when the game was out on PC first!Edited by CaiWenji on April 13, 2017 1:51AM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭I didn't realize that the friends list had a limit so I learned something. Though my list is only 15 long and includes all 6 of those of those in my one guild. Lol. So I clearly don't need more but for those who do I say it is a fine idea. If there is some technical / performance reason not to, it would be nice to know that.PC NA(no Steam), PvE, mostly solo2 -

✭100 max friends is ridiculous. I have to delete 5-10 people weekly to make room for more. In all honesty I have a massive amount of people that sell me mats, ap and tel var ect... Usually on a daily/weekly basis. It's been at this kind of point for years. I guess in an "MMO" 100 friends is supposed to suffice, which it clearly does not. Have heard tons of people complaining about the cap.2 -

Yeah I never knew it was so little. Thought maybe it was 1000 or at leeast 500. One time I requested someone in alliance war but I got this message that his list was full. I never said anything but yeah, I just figured he new a bunch of people. Just found out yesterday its only the max was 100.Edited by CaiWenji on April 13, 2017 2:21AM0 -

The answer is clearly no. He had friends that had not logged in for a year and 2 years and that is not even considering those on the list he has not talked with in that long, but still play the game. Probably can do some serious house cleaning on that list.0 -

✭BAAAH I HATE THAT LIMIT SO MUCH x_x
I do have about 30 offline old friends I keep on my list, and the rest I recycle when they decide to return to ESO. I hate it though, because I am a guildmaster, and new guildies often send me an auto invite, and my list is limited to 100.
Aside from my own guild, I do have other friends in ESO and I'm not in guild with them, it's hard for me to delete people

✭Agree OP I constantly have this problem.
Many of the people are friends from my country and what I end up doing is hope they don't come back and then I just print screen the name ( knowing I will never look it up again ).

✭✭✭✭✭PC limit is 100
Console differs however, the ingame friends list and trying to add on PS4 may work under different circumstances as I'm on Xbox one now. When I was on PC, it's only 100 regardless
When I moved to Xbox one, the friends were erased and we upon trying to add a friend will either go to the Xbox one profile and that allows up to 1,000 but there is also an add friend UI in the game and that doesn't work usually for me as I have over 100 so it lets me select it but doesn't add them so if you or they are on PS4, I'd suggest to go to the Sony interface and add them vs ingame.
If you or they are on PC you'd need to delete someone first

Lol why don't you just play while hiding the UI? It's an MMO of course there may be people you disagree with, but you can't just block everyone out of your life. Although you could play the other Elder Scrolls games, but you might not like some NPCs in those either! Lol.0 -
ViciousBunnii✭✭✭Yea, I seem to be meeting at least one person every other day or so that is 'friend' worthy. People to run dungeons with, some to grind with and some I just chat with, etc. I have a crazy schedule, so I meet people from all different time zones. Seems the 100 cap will be hit soon at this rate. I am sure there are a couple to remove, but I add these people because we had a good run/convo and to become friends with and play with, not to remove just because I hit my friends' limit.PC/NA

Yes, 6 in total did you understand what I said in the first post? Deleting merely 12 more now will put my longest inactive friend at not logged in 3 months ago. And idk about you but I've taken 1 or 2 breaks that long.

Play a little longer! I started with one, my brother. All it takes is one or a few great people to keep you playing. As you keep playing that list will grow indefinitely. Just last night met a play who came over from WoW. I never played but she mostly nothing so me and another one of my friends grouped up with her. Got her blue set gear. Asked her if she had a horse yet, she was saving and had 3K to her name. So we took out 10k and was she authentically happy. Finally a mount she can ride with not paying any cash. We gave her many tips and added her to our guild. I was on a new lv 12 bow DPS my older friend on a new healer, and my new friend, she is a DPS sorc with lightning destro. We were queued 18 mins( lol where all the tanks at?) while doing a delve and killing spiders and spriggans in the field. Then we just decided to walk to banished cells 1, left the queue, and completed it as 3 amigos. Wasn't bad at all only time we died was the fire daedra lady that summons a clanfear boss. The boss is easy but at first it's guarded by lots of ice mage skeletons. Anyway it's people like these 2, that I love adding, chatting and grouping up. Ryv's old friend funny and a power sorcerer on her main. Iza is our newest friend and guild mate and I look forward to helping her learn this game all it's fun features!0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I decline all friend requests because I don't like the system where you are friends with the entire account.
I'm used to choosing one character to be social and helpful and then logging off to be on another character to have some solitude and peace. I don't want people messaging me on my solo main asking for help.
Eh, I feel bad declining all friend requests but until it changes, I have to keep it empty. Now if they had friend CATERGORIES that would be different. Set privacy options so , say, only 3 people can see when you're online but the other 97 are there mostly so you don't forget their names/ acquaintances lists.

I could see how that could be useful. When I'm on Darla Gratch lv 12 DK 2h sword just want to kill NPCs in town in peace! (Lol irony) but yeah. Can only go all hidden or nothing. One thing is if you are hidden on friends list you can still group people well if you are not already in a dungeon or something. In your group menu you can make long distance chats and travel to them still and vice versa.Edited by CaiWenji on April 13, 2017 4:27PM0
