What the heck is going on? The manual /blist add "name" doesn't work, returns the "No PC by that name" error, the button to add as disappeared from the social tab blacklist page, when I search someone's name and right click the button to add to blacklist is not there, and when I'm standing right freaking next to them and right click? No blacklist option. Is this a bug or what? Nobody else but one thread on another site is talking about it.

Yeah, they changed a lot of how adding friends/blacklisting works in game ever since they started work on the cross world feature. Before I jumped over to Odin, my blacklist was rather broken. Had people showing up as (Unable to Retrieve), or if their name showed up, what world they were in didn't show.
Though if you try posting about it in the forums where you submit bugs/ect, it'll more than likely just be thrown into the 'working as intended' forum, with no explanation at all, like my thread here -> http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...n-my-blacklist -

Did you try to blacklist them from the contacts menu setting? That is how I blacklist all of mine, mainly because they are from dungeons and not from my server.

Blacklisting serves no point till they fix it. You still get put in parties with blacklisted players in duty finder. Happens to me all the time in Heaven on High.

How the heck DO YOU BLACKLIST someone then? None of the options work, the button is gone completely and the manual command no longer functions. Did they just completely remove the ability to blacklist from the game? This makes no sense.

Targeting people by name is no longer valid for any other slash command. If you want to blist someone by slash command, you must be able to use a target tag on them. Slash commands still work with <t>, <mo>, <tt>, etc. If you cannot find the person so that you can target, mouseover, or target-of-target them, you must find them through one of the social menus/windows and blacklist them via context menu.
This is a poorly designed, but working as intended, feature that they implemented in preparation for the World Visit system. -
04-22-2019, 09:22 AMkamikrazyWhat a joke, but thank you for the information. I was literally standing RIGHT NEXT TO THEM targeting them and there was no option to blacklist them, so it would appear that the only way to blacklist someone now is to be standing right next to them and use a /blist <t> command. What an awful system.Quote:

Social -> Contacts still seems to work well; at least if you're blacklisting someone who was an ass in the duty you were just in.
