Excessive blist occupier penalties

[radicaldreamer]

Heyo, I think it would be great if people that are currently on over 200 blacklists server-wide, got penalized every time someone new added them to the blacklist.

Maybe half an hour in a blist exile zone, that cannot be escaped 'til the 30 mins are over.
Or maybe when someone new adds them to blist, they get a message "you have been blacklisted, and 10,000 gil has been deducted from your inventory".

Just tired of hearing new reports about repeat offender jerks, and maybe they'd move to a different server with a clean slate, or stop being jerks if this were in place.

It'd be nice, but too ripe for abuse. For example, someone could probably whip up a script to sign up for 200 free trial accounts.

On top of that, it'd encourage campaigns "/blist this person!" which I think might be explicitly forbidden by the ToS.

You'd have people starting anti-<insert player> campaigns, leading to people who might just be disliked by a few people exploding into everyone wanting them punished.

I think if you're on 200 people's blacklist, your rep is already terrible and you're not going to get a group most of the time due to how widely disliked you are. Is that not punishment enough?

Adding a monetary punishment to being blacklisted is also absurd. That would lead to people draining other people's gil with the previously mentioned blacklist campaigns. A player's ability to play even alone being comprimised by blacklisting for no good reason taking money away is a massive magnet for abuse.

Rather than that, why not have a special marker, something that pops up in their bazaar comment or a mark next to their name that goes overtop everything like how Bazaar does. That way it marks you as being rude or otherwise bad, without a ton of room for abuse by players. Also, have it so that in the event someone is labeled in this way by people Blisting them enough, that it is possible for a GM to remove it if there is proof of abuse.

[Alhanelem]

Nothing really needs to be done here. If someone is really that much of an asshole they'll end up on many people's blacklists soon enough. Marking such players in any way just turns the blacklist function into a witch hunt.

[Mirage]

Yeah, no. If 200+ people have blacklisted a single person, most people that need to know already knows to avoid this person.

[Camiie]

Having so many people blacklisting you and probably complaining about you to everyone they know is punishment enough I think.

[radicaldreamer]

Well I can understand that there would be ways to abuse the punishment system, but just doing nothing isn't cool.
Sure people will avoid having them in parties, but some of these people are stealing people/parties' aggro'd and enfeebled yellow-target mobs just to prove how much of a jerk they are, and SE will not do anything unless they've hacked and stolen the one red-targeted mob. It should be considered ruining the play experience, when you repeatedly steal a group's acquired mobs, and spout off insults to them while doing so. >_<

Actually, doing nothing is just fine, because this isn't really a problem. The few people that are on such a huge number of blacklists have already screwed themselves so hard they'll never get a reliable group of people for anything without jumping servers.

This playerbase should be more than capable of policing itself, you don't need SE's help for that.
