Blacklisted for being English
It is an extremely upsetting feeling being blacklisted for being an English speaker on a Japanese server.
This is the first time I have ever truly felt excluded from content and considering changing servers; if you wanted only Japanese speaking players, you should have formed your group with it, instead of blacklisting people for not speaking Japanese.
I was joining hunt groups yesterday and when I first join I always ask "where", I had joined this particular players group already that day, he then formed another group for a different hunt and I receive the error "you have failed to join the party" I thought nothing of it at the time, again he made another group and again "you have failed to join the party" I thought, this is odd, I've never seen this before so I looked it up, and sure enough, blacklisted and I'm told it would be because I'm an English speaker even though the party was set up allowing all languages.
Is it a common thing to blacklist players for not speaking the same language? I'm actually curious now.
Also, would it not make sense for SE to not show players that have you blacklisted in the PF?
I have been in many groups where language has been a barrier but never have I ever blacklisted a player, nor would I ever leave a party, I know how to use a translator and I'll do my absolute best to try to communicate with players. I can absolutely appreciate players forming parties with just their own native languages and I'd never take any offense to those.
Edit: nevermind, I have since found out from a few others that this player is not very nice to other players as well.
