I was lurking around the Battle.Net forums, and I saw a post about the lag and drops.
They said something about Blizzard testing how the game runs on a shit server, or something. Pretty much, the guy said that Blizzard is running the servers on the lowest power or with hundreds of thousands of simulated games at once or something, to simulate how the server can handle large amounts of games. They don't want the server to implode when the game goes live.
I don't know if what this guy said is true, but it makes sense.
Also, about the friends thing, I saw a post by a Blizzard employee that said that since it's a beta, they're going to be enabling and disabling things at different times to get people to test out the other features. Blizzard is just testing the other ways of adding friends. The reason they disabled character friend adding (i assume) is because everyone was using it, and it's so easy to use. If they added the facebook thing but kept the character friend adding, no one would use the facebook way. It would make sense that they just want the other ways to be properly tested before the game releases.
Also, they REALLY need to put identifiers back. They were the best thing ever.
