kawa_ 13 Posted March 26, 2014 If you're a member of a steam group, you see them as friends ingame whether they're actually in your friend list or notMaybe this? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elle 562 Posted March 26, 2014 I've noticed that as well - I was looking for the server that my friend was on the other day and it showed that I had 4 friends on one server and one friend on another, he was the only friend I had on at the time and I only have 3 friends that play.

Here is what I suspect, but can't prove. When you 'favorite' a server, it also put those players on the server in your friend list. I don't think it does this everytime, but I do think I saw it after I rebooted and the server I had just added had like 20+ friends, and I have never added a single player as a friend.
