Guild Wars 2

I’m sure we have all run into people that we don’t want to play with. I’m sure some people don’t want to play with me. I suppose that’s what the block feature is for.

But during this league, I blocked people, and I still get teamed with them several times afterward.

I understand that if blocking someone meant you would never see them again, it could be used to avoid playing great players in the future.

However, that is never my intention in blocking someone. I just don’t want to have to play WITH someone who clearly does not have my best interests in mind… especially trash talkers who will complain about me before the match begins, and though I cannot see those messages, my teammates can, starting yet another match off badly.

I do not mind one bit playing against someone I block. So would it cause problems if blocking a person simply kept you from being teamed up WITH them in the future? Even if it put you on a lower priority in the queue, so you would not be affecting anyone else’s wait time.

Opinions?

Then you would just block all the bad players and ensure that you are up against them, cant really work that way.

There’s really no way to win this scenario. There’s only one solution that would ease such issues.

Simply check your block list and see if they are already in a game or aren’t in pvp. Then you can freely queue up without worry of being paired up with them.
Not the most elegant solution but it can help dodge them a bit more. Only way to avoid the system being abused in other facets.

we can’t see them if they are invisible.

we need to be able to see invisible blocked people if we want to avoid playing with them in pvp.
