Adding clan mates or players in friend list

Hi,

I am a regular player on clash of clans with TH8. I wanted to request a feature where we can add a clan mate or a player to friend list inside clash of clans game without adding him to facebook after which they appear in friends column. Many of times we are in clans and we make in-game friends, later we leave clan because of various reasons such as the clan is not performing or is dull. Those friends we can add to our friend list and we can:
1) Chat with those friends even if we are not in same clan.
2) We can follow the friend at a later time and join his clan or invite him to ours so that we know where has he gone after you left?
Even if you bookmark a clan and that friend leaves the clan in near future, there's no way to find him unless he has put a mail in the clan you were. You go to the inbox and tap his name and see his clan. Not allowing to follow or have your own friends without adding on facebook or without giving out your personal mobile number, has become a bit annoying.

Thanks & Regards

I agree with you 100% we need this added asap.

Thanks for supporting the idea.

There already is this feature in the game, its called making a new facebook friend. It would be like making a second gold.

As I mentioned above, the feature I am requesting respects your privacy. If you add a friend to your facebook account means you are revealing your personal info to that friend which you probably do not want to share with your in-game mates. Even if you set privacy settings inside facebook, still you are revealing some part of your personal info to that person? Having a friend directly inside the game will protect your privacy / personal info and will also have a feature where you can add / remove that friend when ever you want. Ofcourse there can be two scenarios here:

1) when adding a friend, a request will be sent to that person if he wants to allow you to add him. When he accepts, you will be added in his buddy list at the same time.
2) You add him without sending him any request, but you wont appear in his buddy list till he manually add you back. But that is not recommended as you will be adding him without his wish and would annoy him time to time when you contact him.
