[2020] In-Game Friend Invites should be a NUMBER ONE priority...

Weeks after the release, wait times for matches are increasing with each passing day (i'm on the Asia server). To side-step this, players need to be able to quickly and EASILY build communities and friend groups...

Having said that, without an in-game system, adding friends and forming parties is harder than it should be! Countless times I have chatted in to people saying "Hey, I sent you a friend request" or "Hey, add me" and they reply "HOW?" This is destroying the base and slowly deteriorating the current population of players. Going through the Epic Game Store is very cumbersome and without instant notification and gratification, adding friends and forming parties simply WON'T HAPPEN.

I'm LOVING the game and it's starting to scare me in the Asian Servers how quickly it's taking to find a match!

Unfortunately they have stated that this isn't possible because of something on Epic's end.

To be clear: while yes, EGS lacks an API call to modify the friends list, which is what we'd prefer in order to design the experience exactly as we want, it is still possible to do this inside the game by invoking the overlay which contains a friends list where you can do that, and we plan to do exactly this on the short term. Ideally we'd like to have all the calls we need to have a unified experience exactly how we would like it to be, and I'm sure we'll get all that eventually, as Epic have been quite forthcoming. (And to be perfectly fair, we haven't even been pressing them much on this yet because we had other priorities for them to address and we didn't want to overload them with requests.)
