PIMD has a friends list and a follower list, but the follower list just does nothing. I started to think about a few ways to make having followers useful and rewarding for players. Suggestion 1: A story-like quest that gives milestone rewards for certain amounts of followers. For an example, after I hit 2000 followers soon, I'd be able to get a few special stat items. Suggestion 2: A ranking system for followers since it gives a slight competitive edge to it. That's really what I could come up with, but I do hope that there will be a way to make following people worth something.
I think they should just remove it all together. Like who really cares? It isn't like a following on social media, and it definitely shouldn't be tailored to resemble that.
