Hello Everyone,
I have found it happening more often than not where I am in abyssea and some jealous jerk casting Warp II or Retrace on me so I don't get the drop. To that end I would like to propose that /blockaid also block warp II and retrace. I understand that this is not the original nature of blockaid as it is meant to stop people outside the party from casting on you. So as an alternative perhaps a /blockwarp command?
Thanks!

It's a two way street.
Sometimes, the person that's lotting isn't supposed to be, or the are otherwise screwing up a run, and need to be gotten rid of. This is what high levels of Fast Cast and Warp II were created. I do see your point, though.

I can see it both ways too. In the case of some jackass trying to ninja it falls on the party lead to give them the boot, though.
But seriously, OP. You need good friends, or a good shell. Or both. Shouts more often than not are a recipe for disaster.

Where disaster means you wipe and it depops.

That's the issue XD My LS gets results but there are those who like to play a joke and say it was a mistake or something to that effect... How about a yes/no like what you get with tractor and a 5 second chance to hit no? XD

ya they should have a confimation. I've gotten warp 2 from a pts before for the stupidest reasons. Like 1 time a guy askes me to be a rdm healer. I was in a decent mood and ask if i could melee and heal. He refused so I just back line. (well tbh i wasn't invited to heal if feel into my lap) Then he all of a sudden says me and another person are getting replaced. Didn't say why till he stated he wanted a dd healer.
I love when the ego-centic people play mmo XD

I call BS on you being replaced for not meleeing as a RDM.
He probably just repped you for being terrible, most RDMs who want to melee are.

Once a PT was going to replace my BLM because apparantly I was the reason we wasnt getting 6k an hr. The leader was an annoying mithra thf called Foxxy or something (its not foxxy i completely forget).
Needless to say they were just annoying blaming it on me for some reason. Apparantly not landing an MB every single time because of WS spamming right after the SC was my fault... but okay!
After an hr I got a message in LS chat.
"Xell you leaving that pt?" to which I replied "Not that I know of. Why?"
Apparently the leader had sent a /tell to someone else in my ls to come and replace me. Oooooh the fun I would have.
/ma "Warp II" <tard>

keep it as is , i was in an abyssea party and one of the party leaders kept adding more and more leech's from his ls and only letting people from his ls afk , needless to say lulz insured when a sam/blm started d2ing leech's.

So you either need to stop playing with that person, or at least report him for using in game mechanics to harass you. Since blacklist doesn't prevent someone from casting spells on you, they can't just say "blacklist them" and ignore you.
This has been discussed before, and Warp II needs to remain useable for removing unwanted people from an area with a good reason. having blockaid affect everyone and not just people out of party is just a surefire way to get yourself killed.

A Warp/Retrace confirmation, similar to tractor or raise, would be very helpful. Even for Teleports. This would allow Tele-Taxis to not have to warp.
Even with a good linkshell I've had accidents where someone warps before your gear sorts to you. IE you lot the item you're supposed to, it's approved by everyone, it's yours, but your LS mate warps you because he's warping his party. It's rare, but even with the best accidents happen once in awhile. Once a year or so maybe.

The caster should not get a confirmation; It's assume that if you're casting the spell, you want to use it. Any other reason you'd want to abort is part of why the spell has such a long cast time.
Confirmations should not exist for these spells- it effectively prevents them from allowing you to eject remove someone from the area when it might be necessary. This used to be a not-uncommonly needed thing for Dynamis (Now only in the dreamworld areas), and is sort of a problem for walk of echoes until they revamp it, and is occasionaly an issue in BCNMs when that random person you invited decides to do more harm than good.
