Why isn’t this an option already? We should be able to hide our friends list from others if we don’t want it to be flaunted around. You can easily see every person someone talks to by simply right-clicking their name - view friends - scroll. I can’t be the only one who sees this as a problem, right?

I totally agree, platforms such as Steam already have this feature for a long time. It helps prevent people just adding friends randomly and spamming them etc. (my experience) . . I think that since it’s something small to add to the platform it should have been here already. It gives people an option to get more privacy if they want that

I feel it is violating my privacy. Why am I not in charge of when I want whom to know what I am doing?
I haven’t been using any Blizzard products for at year now, and I guess I need to find alternatives for the future aswell.
There are som hacks using the firewall to port-block the chat-servers, but thats just at stupid work around for something that should be an obviously offered setting: masterofwarcraft net from 2013 (don’t know if it still works).
I get it… there are more money in making sure that the social aspects are smooth… but to me, I don’t like, not to be in charge of my own data or at least just being able to play a game in peace.
Please, please, please make such a functin within settings

What the hell are you guys thinking changing it to this??
Did anyone in the world ask for a change? No, because there was no need.
Now there is a need for change, please give us the option to revert back to the old style. Or just do things right, so simple. Starting to think none of you actually even play games or know whats right for us, just there to make $$ without a care in the world.

Because in Blizz mind they think we all need to meet some1 and or get married with someone in their community. So thinking like they are thinking, just say thanks that they didn’t make it even bigger.
You can change Privacy settings in the main website Bnet account.

Uncheck the option to suggest friends. That should prevent you from being on any suggestion lists.
Considering it took almost a decade to make, (laugh or cry, you decide) and they have not done it – they obviously do not care what any of us have to say considering we are likely to just continue to shovel them money for their obvious poor decision making.
But this isn’t a solution. The issue wasn’t being removed from “suggestion lists”, it was that my friends list is visible to all my friends when I don’t want it to be.
