Origin Accounts not used in SimCity BuildIt

Yes, I agree that we should be able to use the origin account for our friends. But the down fall with that is....origin only allows 100 friends max! Since I use my origin account for another EA game, I would have no room for more friends for SimCity as I am already maxed out on that friends limit. So, I can see why there is another option for friends to be added as well. 

Now, if origin would up the max friends...that would be sweet! 

I don't like the new direction either that EA is using to play tablet games. I do not have facebook and refuse to make one just to play a game. I always liked the Origin logins and don't understand why they are now changing it. And most people do not know that adding friends on IOS gamecenter will let everyone see your real name (unless you go into Game Center and set up a fake one.) And yet we remove real names (email) when put on the forum. Some tablet games only allow you to now use facebook to link it. Which in the end, causes some to no longer play those games. (Fifa for IOS comes to mind.) 

So I too would like to see a return to Origin logins. Platforms, such as pc, still allow for Origin logins and accounts. And yes, those are limited to 100 friends. But I never had the time to visit 100 people in IOS games anyway.

In my opinion, if they use the origin log in system for this app, and do not up the friends limit, then there is no point for me to play it. I have the max friends alone on my Simpsons app. It would be a shame to have to remove friends just play another game. 

Clearly, Origin needs to allow any number of Origin friends, even if only 100 of them can be linked per game.
