Sorry, don't know if this was posted elsewhere, but according to Gree, they are no longer awarding Skill Points for new friends. I'll quote my response from them, it's clearer:

Sean, Jan 08 15:46 (PST):

Hi Brodezoe,

We've looked into this issue. With the last update, there was a change to what users receive when Friends are added. Now, instead of Skill Points, you receive 100 Social Points for each Friend added. Also, there has been a change to how many Social Points a user gets for cheering. Now, when a user cheers a friend, the user receives 1 Social Point. When a user gets cheered, the user receives 3 Social Points.

We apologize for the confusion these changes have caused. We are working on updating the FAQs to reflect these changes. Due to the inconvenience this has caused you, I've added a complementary 300 Social Points to your account.

Please contact us in the future with any other questions or concerns.

Best, Sean
