Before, you could send requests to all friends, or only to Candy Crush friends. That option is no longer available. I have searched high and low for it. Besides all the other annoying changes, which are indeed very annoying, and which I may or may not get used to, this for me is the greatest loss. I refuse to bother non-game playing friends with game requests. And I really don't know how plays or not and I don't want to spend time hunting through the list wondering who plays to ask for lives. And since I am past level 2500, I don't have any friends at that level to just ask the ones playing the same level as I am. So I will not be able to GET any lives if I can't request them. HUGE setback here.
