Suggestion: Player on Blacklist get invisible for Player who block them

The current method to Block / Blacklist Players who troll other Players are insufficient.

Player who just want to troll other Players or FC's can just be blocked by Blacklist or Reported and reporting them is inefficient. Additional we have the problem that in the most cases these Players don't talk or do anything in chat to prevent obvious reports.

They Spam Bard music, Skills, Emotes or just troll with the presence or with the help of Trial Accounts they mock other Gamers with an army of Roe's.

Reporting them don't work, because they can just create new chars. Also, SE seems not very interested in banning Players who just play to troll the community.

A Way to solve this situation can be an additional Feature for a Player on Blacklist. Just don't render / show them ingame if they are on the list.

This would be a solution which can benefit players how want's a solution for this problem and for SE (lesser reports).

...and maybe the Trolls getting boring, if nobody can see them anymore :rolleyes:

(sorry for my English it is not my native language)

just a Suggestion ;)

Have a good Day ♥

Blocking does not help if they decide to find your house and jump around there or do whatever they wish to do, The Problem i see here is that a "invisibility" function for blocked players would be incredibly hard to implement.

I don't think this is too hard to implement, because this system is already in the game. When ppl. got not render of population, every player has an ID, so they just must may a rule that the player get automatic not rendered.

They can ignore the Blacklist in Dungeons as always.

3rd party tools can do it, I'm sure SE could find a way.

As mentioned just above, this has already been done by a 3rd party plugin. Literally blanking a designated character out of existence. Their character, their mount, their pets, their spells and actions, and any text they type won't appear on your screen.

Unfortunately this could lead to a new method of trolling you - if they know they are on your blocklist and not being rendered all they have to do is follow you around and interact with the world around you. (I.e. kill the mobs you are going after). From your perspective the enemies will die but you won't be able to see who's doing it (it will look like the bots that use the clipping method to target/kill mobs from below the ground). Granted some trolls do this anyway (there was a lvl 80 ninja who thought it was funny to one-shot kill the mobs I was trying to learn BLU spells off a while back) but it would make it far harder if you can't see them.

Plus as you say, what's to stop them going off and creating a new character to troll you with.

As said above :
Technically, Client side, it is likely possible to hide them.

But :
- I doubt SE implement something to avoid matchmaking for raid clears and so
- It will never prevent people to create alt(s) to troll or harass (or worst, to team up to troll or harass).

Unfortunatly, stalkers and troll are what they are : it's a problem of personality and education.

As soon as they are going too far, the only way is to report them.
