What is the "Players" list?

[jason davy]

I'm still not sure I am entirely clear on how this works. Today, Zeke's "player" asked to be my friend. Um.... ok? Then someone else friended me a bit later, then their "player" friended me. I do not "do" DxD so perhaps that is the source of my confusion. I see no benefit whatsoever in friending someone's "player" when I can just friend their pirate, because as far as the game is concerned, they are the exact same thing.
