Tired of angst-y, illiterate abuse from the odd unhappy pug or PvP opponent? Dreaming of an end to the constant gold seller spam messages? Here’s the fabulously simple fix!

Short and sweet, add an additional “friends only” contact status – i.e. only those added on your own contact list may send you a private message.

Pretty please with an omnomberry on top.

On one hand great idea on the other…
What if you forget to turn it off when you are in LFG and someone tries to PM you about a group.

Or you see someone with an awesome skin and you whisper them about it and you never see their reply.

Or you are in WvW and another Commander wants you to go take a couple points on one side of the map while they take some on the other, and you have no idea because they can’t PM you

Or your Random PvP team turns out to be an actual competitive team looking to fill their recently vacated last spot and they like your style.

see my point?

1. LFG – Maybe make it so you can’t be on friends only status to post to LFG. Since it’s not very likely that you’ll get a friend join your LFG from the LFG screen itself.

2 & 3: So people who get harassed or are just tired of the spam or just don’t want to have one on one conversations with strangers have to suffer because other players forgot to change their status?

And doesn’t 2 & 3 already happen because people don’t have chat open and/or their mail box is full…

Uhh then that’s your fault?

Currently if you go invisible and try to guild chat it notifies you that you aren’t in a guild. If you know you are in a guild that’s already an indicator that something is amiss, meaning to say that same system can be implemented to the OP’s idea. You can add the people in your party to your group which would be kind of above and beyond necessary because you would also have map chat and team chat.

Perhaps it would be nice if it also removes the chat of the blocked account.

But then again it would be nice if reporting also auto-blocks, or we report and then block the abuser/spambot…

I’m a casual PvE adventurer, I enjoy combat, adventure and helping, but not farming.
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.

+1 PvP has gotten more annoying with all the PM spam and this is a great idea.
