there'll likely be workarounds to the strain on summoning friends. for one, they can;t control who you summon, so treat it just like DaS, sign down for 30 secs, replace every 30 secs. Although, i just go to a really inconspicuous place and put my sign down for about 5 minutes and  my friend finds it. Also, if there is a way for the system to 'least prioritise' friends summon signs because it detects ur friends list, simply unfriend them each time u try to connect and just skype it or private chat(xbox). there'll be workarouns for sure, "There is always a way."
