Seriously. This game encourages a playstyle where u block a player X for any slight no matter how trivial or irrelevant, then u will forget abt that whole incident weeks and even months later but will only judge player X as having made it on ur blocks list at some point or another. This will lead to preconception and strong aversion to ever include that person in ur 10man grp ever again. It was tolerable with dungeon and even fotm pugs, now it’s common practice to tag up and childishly pay someone back for kicking at u or insulting u (whatever each person perceives as insult) and thus making it harder for both parties to pug raids bc u have a personal tiff with them.
Everyone can agree it’s pointless to hold something over another person’s head for something they done weeks and weeks ago, but u would be shocked how many do exactly that.
Example, there was a person who failed glide twice on xera and he got embarrassed and left, said to replace him. Someone suddenly stated they kicked that person in a previous grp, and then someone else said how that person [char name] is now on their list of ppl to never raid with. Very good chance they will hold this grudge to this player weeks and weeks hence. No one has any inkling why they have blocked ppl after an indeterminate amt of time.
I give example of me personally, on t4 bloomhunger I just came back from break and used to die and die constantly. I struggled to not die every few moments into fight. People laughed at me and wrote me off, they insulted my build and even kick me out of fotm group saying I can’t stop dying. Then I practice, weeks later i don’t even down anymore. I even 2man when pugs wipe at the critter part (between phase). It’s pathetic and I tell them that. But despite how far I come there, If this was a raid then I would get insta kicked by someone who observed me falling on my face from weeks ago. Difficulty not even issue.. I will get insta kicked even from vg, trio, escort – basically all the easy mode raids. Just bc ppl can’t let go and have no incentive to ever unblock ppl on their lists
So take a look at yours (block list) and see how many ppl u have on their for raid related matters. Now how many do u remember what they did wrong, without note next to their name to say? If this is ur philosophy: “once I block, they are never getting off, ever” then I can’t appeal to u.
But if not, then I beseech think abt how this will effect in 10man grp for grps that rarely even form and so easily disband. If it helps, think of them as 50man squads that form all the time, that u can find them on lfg without fail any time of day. Now if u had option to insta kick everyone that join ur 50man grp if they on ur blocks or on ur friends blocks or on someone elses blocks in same squad, would u make use of this? If so why, if not why not.
Or you know, introspection is a gift that you apparently have yet to discover. All of your problems are created by yourself, but you take no responsibility for those actions. Of course if you cause an issue, then people will block you, and then tell their friends, who will in turn block you.
Obviously you have trouble making friends and having people to consistently play with, I wonder why that is? It couldn’t possibly be everyone else that has problems, not you could it?
You’ve been told this multiple times, and apparently you seem incapable of understanding that you are the problem, you are responsible for your actions against other people, and yes you will reap the rewards of those actions against people you have never met, because that is how word of mouth works. Don’t like it? Don’t interact with other people.
I have no idea what goal you are trying to accomplish with this rant thread, do you want the developers to remove the block feature? Or perhaps they should remove your ability to talk with other players, that seems like it might solve far more problems than removing the block feature. Or perhaps you are trying to convince people to stop blocking other people or to unblock you, yeah good luck with that.
Perhaps you should try making a clearer statement of what you want besides just ranting. Perhaps you want to just rant, but then that seems counterproductive, as it is only exacerbating the issue you are complaining about.
Maybe you just want to see how far you can push people before no one wants to raid with you? You seem to be doing a good job of that.
Maybe no one has told you this yet, but no one cares about your problems, because they are just that, your problems. We don’t care to hear anymore about how you are being blocked or instakicked, these are all problems that you created for yourself, in large part due to your actions in game and on the forums.
the drops are partly levelled (so if you go to a low-level zone for low-level cloth, you’ll likely leave with current-level cloth instead), and C) because from what i can gather, the low-end cloth types are needed for late-game crafting — so the prices are hugely inflated. The stuff i can craft so far (about 175 skill) has always been worse than the stuff i get from quests.
