Coming from LOTRO, which has an account based friend system without the need for a Real ID type link, I've found SWTORs way a bit tedious. As one who suffers from alt-itus and has multiple toons it would be nice to have a friend list that carries to all toons on a given server. Its definately not a game breaker and I'll just have to adjust. Hopefully they add a system that changes this in the future.
