“Add Friend” in Guild Options menu now?

DragonRacer · March 16

Was this bizarre option to “Add Friend” added to the guild options menu accidentally in U49 or has it always been there and I never noticed?

I feel like it’s new because going through guild options is practically muscle memory for me at this point and when I went to change my MOTD the other day, this friend thing popped up instead. And then I really stopped and stared and questioned if this was new and… why? LOL

If I was starting up my own guild, I might very well want to add in people from my Friends list first. Having a simple way to do that without having to remember everyone/s exact platform ID seems like a nice thing to have?

Except on PS NA, at least, when you click that first option that says Add Member… you are taken to a menu that already lets you select from your friends list or to search for someone by their PSN name to add them.

Thus, this change is a bit redundant and struck me as odd. Do the other platforms not have that option when they select Add Member?

I saw the option on XBox but didn't try it. I'm signed off for the day but, if no-one else responds, I'll check it tomorrow to see what it does.

Edit: @DragonRacer - on XBox, the "Add Member" simply pops a text field where you can enter any gamer tag but there's no access to your Friends list. The "Add Friend" pops up your current friends list (which also has a "Find" function).
