The question is why did it get implemented when they knew about the problem in Beta?
This is not in fact what happened. The truth is even worse.
There was a bug reported on Beta where all bars kept resetting to the player every time you aided, except if the bar had been scrolled to the far left. This bug was fixed. That version of the code was fine and ready for live release, but we never got it. Instead, shortly before the update went live, there was a change on Beta which broke a different part of the friends bar, and they released that instead of the version they had debugged. That bug was only reported after it was already live. It had never been detected during testing, because the new version where it was introduced was not tested at all before release.
In short, instead of giving us a version that had been properly tested and fixed, the developers replaced it at the last moment with a completely untested bugdate. It is not that they would not fix bugs - they don't even bother trying to find them.
