As many of you may know, recently the in-game user listing has been updating less frequently than usual. I have been looking at improving this situation, but in order to do so I need feedback on how exactly you use it. Or even, how you would LIKE to use it in-game.

I will provide some common scenarios to vote for, but please comment if you have other needs. Please select all that apply.

Well most times i use it to look what friends are online, and sometimes to search for people i see in map rankings

EDIT : I order them by name to find them fast

I like to receive real-time updates of what friends do because i sometimes like to stay chatting while having the friend list open to keep checking who is doing what that way i can see when some people are editing maps after my mods and when they submit for rechecking, or when they are editing songs i would like to mod in the future, or when they are watching someone play a certain difficult map and i would like to join in, there are many reasons i prefer to have the userlist open at all times to see what they are doing.
These wounds i bear will never heal
and even if they do heal
the scar will remain
and nothing will ever be the same

See which friends are online

What I would like to see is for rank, accuracy, playcount, and level to be sorted by either ctb, taiko, or osu! standard.

This stalker needs to know their status in real-time

I want to play multi when my friends are in mutli

If I need to ask them for a favour (come play with me/ mod my map/ testplay my map), I'd like to know whether or not they're currently busy before asking.

When I say explain yourself for real-time updates, I am talking specifically about score / rank / accuracy / playcount. Not for status updates.

Friend status only, but ordered by rank.

I always show friends only and have them ordered by rank although I don't really see who's at the top.
For spectating people, colour is sufficient to tell the status so I don't order by status.

I use it just to keep track of friends' or favourite mappers' activities (whether they are editing a new map).
I would hope to see the ability to sort by countries or region or the like.

Normally I just use it to see what people on my friends list are up to, or if they are busy etc

I occasionally use it to check some of the higher ranked people to see if anything has changed, but not very often these days

I always just keep my friends shown, ordered by rank or name, so I can see who is online and their avatars. I'll also occasionally use the filter box while modding if I need to get in touch with the beatmap's creator.

friends only for most of the time, also will get ordered by status sometimes, to check who's mapping/modding sth. (and maybe the map)

Accuracy for self gloating aimed towards myself (orz lol). Otherwise, usually friends only to see who's playing what and eavesdrop on what they might be mapping at the time.

I usually keep the friends filter active, and most of the time check their status (even though it doesn't always update in real time to me), then I sometimes toggle it off and check the top by rank (say 1#~1000#) to check if someone's playing something cool or whatever. (Recently started adding the pro's in my friendlist for a quicker check)

Same here, nothing more to say.
I'm experiencing internet issues, so I might be not available from time to time.
