I recently purged my friend list because it was getting too long. Most of the people in the list were people I had only played once. Do those people receive a message saying that they have been “unfriended?” I don’t mind if they want to keep me as a friend, I just don’t want to keep seeing their status in the left menu. It would be nice to be able to demote them to an “acquaintance.” 
Haha, acquaintance might be nice.
No they don’t get a notification if you’ve removed them from your friends list, we felt it was better to have that be a silent operation.
I assume that I stop showing up in their friend list though?
Correct
I do the same thing from time to time, and usually, if I have only played them once or twice, I leave them a private message, that I just don’t know them good enough to be on my friend list, because I want to keep it short with good friends. It’s polite and never caused any drama so far.
