Proposal
Add the "unable to locate playerX" text when attempting to /findfriend a player that is not online, but you are not on their friendslist. OR remove the text completely so it doesn't display any message in either scenario (not preferred, less new player friendly).
Justification
Currently /findfriend playerX gives an indication whether a player is online or not because it returns a message if they are online, and doesn't return any message if they are offline. The change will make it so you cannot tell if someone is online or not by using the /findfriend feature.
Motivation
This can be used to bypass the two-way friends list feature that was introduced to prevent others from seeing your online status if you do not have them on your friendslist.
