The current problem with the friendslist is the way removing a friend works - if you remove someone from your friendslist you're still on theirs. You dont actually "dissolve" the friendship and your name doesnt vanish from the other persons friendlist. Which means that they still have an easy way to tell if you're online, where you are and can teleport to your housing (if you've enabled that for friends). Adding them to your blacklist doesnt remove you from their friendslist either.
This is problematic in situations where someone removes a friend because the relationship went downhill so that they really want to get away from that person - they might not be able to see anything their old friend does anymore, but old friend can see everything (hence the stalker refrences).
