Guild Wars 2

Lets face it. Its a big game. There’s lots of people. Gold spammers, bots, and your random jerk aside, not everyone will get along. I should be able to actually ignore anyone I want.

“But you can!” cry the people.

Nope. If you’re in a guild and you happen to just clash with a member or two, and you’d rather stay with the guild than leave because of one or two people in comparison with the rest of the guild? Welp, putting em on ignore does nothing. You still see their messages.

And lets say your chat box is being flooded with emotes. Or maybe someone is actually aiming to harass you. The ignore feature doesn’t block any emote produced with “/e”. And since “/e” is a custom emote, someone can actually further harass you than just flooding your chat box.

Working as intended or Working as designed…
Lets get this working more efficiently.

Doesn’t black list already do that

There isn’t a black list command, is there?

I think they mean blocklist, which means they don’t understand you are explaining the functionality of the current system.

I’ve had a few people who I’ve blocked proceed to come and “mob” my character.. Of course, it’s not really possible to hide all the people as you block, since they may be doing something relative to the outcome of the current event…

I suppose it would be the same problem, but maybe blocking someone would make you invisible to them, instead of the other way around (in the world)

Well if people “mob” your character and surround you, interrupting you or hindering your gameplay after you’ve asked them to stop, then it’d be considered harassment. Which is also reportable.

The block system on the other hand exists, or at least I feel it exists, because not everything that bothers an individual is a direct assault and calls for a report
or
because the time between a report ticket being filed and the ticket being assessed takes time.

Either way, it exists so that an individual can help curb the social side of the game more to their liking and enjoyability. And since its a game, I think enjoyment is pretty high up on the priority list lol
