Guild Wars 2

Out people in guild chat… there is this one girl in my guild who just won’t ever shut the hell up, and I’m pretty much required to rep them at all times to stay in for WvW. A.net please change the block feature or let us filter members.

Considering my guild I can’t believe I need to ask this but can you not block a guild mate?

You can but they still show up in Guild Chat. It’s not that I hate the person; but they spew so much crap out that it’s headache inducing to sift through for the WvW zones and updates.

you could always make a chat tab where you have guild chat filtered out.

alternatively you could ask some guild officer/leader to “talk” with said blabbermouth and maybe get them to tone down.

I think a social problem like this requires social solution, not software.

This fully.

If you can’t stand the person. Speak to an officer/leader. If there’s no resolution. Find a new guild as you don’t fit in with their personality.

So you want to control your guild chats content and how much people use it riiiiiiight…….

No, I want to filter if I see that person in chat. Not if other people see them; IDC if they want to sift through her garbage. I don’t and I think blocking someone should block them in guild chat too.

Ugh. I didn’t know that the block wont totally filter the person out. In previous online games I’ve played, the block feature helped to tone out the blabbermouths/racists/haters that didn’t add anything to chat.

I almost feel this is a bug with the block feature. If someone is blocked you shouldn’t see any text input from them.

^^^ This. As it stands, the all-or-nothing /g implies that in a group of up to 500, everyone will like everyone. Or that harassment is acceptable.

I disagree with previous poster that suggests that social problems require social solutions. I believe personal responsibility should always be considered a first solution.

I don’t have to like everyone, and if I don’t like someone, I should have the freedom to not like them privately. If I want to ignore someone, I should be able to ignore them… privately. There should never be a requirement to involve or escalate to a third-party… and in fact, involving a third-party might be more problematic/dramatic than “do nothing.”

Further, the “quit because you don’t fit” is a pedestrian response. One can not rationally and reliably connect the dots between not wanting to listen to a discrete individual’s blovations and fitting into a guild culture. Any suggestion otherwise is a logical abomination.
