Players from another worlds - why?

In addition, even if you blacklist someone, it doesn't keep them out of your DF party.

This is the question the OP is actually asking, and this is a good portion of the answer.

It's also feasible that they've checked to see if you're from their server and, if not, decide it's not a big deal to be a bit more rude. I have a hard time believing that, personally, but it's a possibility.

It's also just dumb luck and confirmation bias.

That answers one question I still had about the blacklist. SE really should add that as part of the BL.

I believe the real question is: why is it that every time he has issues with players, it's those from another world and never those from the same world?

People in those servers might play differently. So what's considered rude to you might be completely normal there.

Furthermore, it's possible (I said POSSIBLE, but not necessarily the case) that the players in those servers might have a higher caliber of players. So while your skills might be fine for most of the people in your world, they may be lacking in comparison to the players there.

It may also be that those worlds have higher percentage of people who speak other languages and thus may not be comfortable writing out full sentences and stick to common acronyms (like BRD instead of your name)

If I am disappointed - I have a choose to leave this game or to wait longer. Note pls,my question was - why from another world each time. I can fail myself when don't know what to do, it happens but I don't see such reaction from other players. This situation was repeated 4 or 5 times during my server prime time and I don't find it Random.

Most times they have 1-2 lvl 50 classes and 100-110 gear - nothing extreme. I know, because looked for their names in char search on this server when tried to understand why I am unable to blacklist them.

I think that question was answered. It's not always going to be from a different server, just most of the time. Duty Finder assembles its groups from all players in your data center. So the odds are that you're going to end up with a group of people from multiple servers.

I think Bixby is spot on here, this may just be a case of confirmation bias. You're remembering when things went south and in those runs the players were from other servers. Sure you may have had a few bad ones in a row. It happens to all of us.

As of right now, Square doesn't have a means for us to blacklist players from other servers, just our own. And even then, as Sadana points out, you still can be grouped with even those people in Duty finder, so the blacklist doesn't help.

Teryaani, as I understood, you think that it's random. At my side, I don't understand why it became to happen in ~ October and wasn't happened in summer for example?

I think hes asking why are the Jerks always from another world and not his, i could be wrong, but thats what it looks like hes asking, he says he understand they are from another server but not why the jerks are "always" from another world and not from his. which the answer to that is, Jerks are everywhere.

It's perception bias. Due to the (pseudo)random nature of the DF, you may have had a string of these people, and now you're suddenly aware of the mechanics. Because you're now paying attention, it seems to happen a lot more. Blue car syndrome.
