A way to make people we dislike invisible whilst we play

Let's just say there are people in your server you dislike due to past issues. Maybe we could have a way where we could make them invisible to us so we wouldn't have to waste our time with confronting them or get an unexpected meeting with them. Of course we could blacklist them but that would mean always seeing them around. The people i'm currently having issues with will not stop bugging me and it irritates me even though i blacklisted most of them. Just thought maybe a feature like that may be a good idea.

If they keep bugging you then report them for harassment.

If they're doing something on purpose to annoy you then report them for harassment. If they are harassing you, they will be dealt with.

If they're simply standing there and their presence is bugging you, then (in the kindest way possible) get over it and just ignore them.

I am guessing that they are using emotes to wind the guy up.

Treat them like they don't exist? It's what I usually do.

I had small issues like that in the past, with people who'd make it seem as if they were doing very unorthodox things to my character through a combination of autotranslate chat and emotes.
I blacklisted them so I wouldn't have to read anymore about what they wanted to insert into whichever orifice, but it didn't stop them from all the groping and the like.
Yes, I could have reported them, but I think I'm not the only one who doesn't just instantly want to blow things out of proportion. I'd rather just quietly deal with it by simply not seeing and reading those kinds of people anymore :x

Hopefully you didn't make a tumblr post about how all male gamers are rapists and ffxiv (or another certain game) is evil and was only made to hurt women.

I don't really get where you are going with this...:confused:
I specifically said the whole reason why I understand why someone would want such an option is because most people who get harassed would just want to deal with it quietly instead of blowing it up unnecessarily by reporting it..? :rolleyes:

But if you really want to open that can of worms:
Being a female MMO player has become a lot more normal in recent years, which is great, but that doesn't stop lots of creeps from still acting as if they are encountering a female of the same species for the first time in their lives.
I have yet to encounter females who tell my male character what they imagine doing with his body, specifically what he has or hasn't in his pants and my male ingame friends also have not yet encountered such excessive groping, random cs tells and incredible fury if a normal conversation didn't lead to a "yes" to the sudden idea of ERPing.

So excuse me when I say that yes, in this still very male-dominated sub-culture, there are quite a few guys who don't ask in the first place and ignore any following "no" as well.

PS: I don't have tumblr.

Oh no, don't get people like that started.

I see this on my server a bit too often and people who do stuff like this guy sometimes go into some crazy theories about how feminism is some giant conspiracy and it turns into a huge mess. Once it all starts, they can go on for hours.

As for the OP, unfortunately there's no way to do that, as they also have another pressing issue to fix: The fact that a person you blacklisted can still end up in a PUG with you. They still can't speak to you there, however. If they can't filter blacklisted players from grouping with you in the DF, I don't think they'd be able to make someone invisible yet.

Keep passive aggressive BS like this out of the game.

@OP

That would be nice!...

Additionally SE could prevent us from winding up with blacklisted users in random duties like PvP, dungeons, et cetera!...

I have encountered (PvP mostly) nasty players I have added to my black list for a reason or another, I may not be able to read whatever they write in the party chat but that doesn't prevent them from talking abusively, it's just a way to not find out what they say!...

Seriously - this isn't a hard feature to implement and would help detox a good portion of the community that simply want to enjoy the game without having to be consistently disrupted by the look at me crowd.

I wish people would be more interactive instead of less, the only times I can see a feature like preventing others from coming into your field of view as a good idea would be preventing them from entering your yard, which I would totally agree would be a pretty cool feature, if they added a kind of gate at the front, since then it wouldn't be as awkward having a house you can't enter, but can run around on the front yard without hindrance on

Plus it would make it easier to see which house you can and can't enter from a distance, without using the minimap

If someone is harassing you they SHOULD be banned. It's not blowing anything out of proportions, they are getting what they deserve by harassing other. Report them one time, if they continue, report them again.

As much as I dislike FF and detest Anita Sarkeesian, I have to agree that there is a disproportionate amount of male gamers coming on to female avatars. I'm just speaking from own observations, including when I was playing FFXI as a Mithra. Constantly being hit on by male gamers, but never once did any woman gamer drool over my male avatars. Ugh... the number of male gamers that got disgusted when they found out my mithra was really a man... "I did it for the DEX." Macro'd response.

this would be a bad idea...

I don't see how it would be a bad idea, just not a necessary one.

I've never been hit on by anyone in a video game, even if I do roll a female. My FC doesn't even give a f- that I'm a woman irl as well... Maybe I've just been lucky, or men are terrified of me. Which has been the experience for the most part. I wonder why men are afraid of me...

I think the most i've ever gotten playing a female character is "how'd you get your highlander to look so cool?" i'm a male I just like the animations and how gear looks solid on a highlander compared to the daintier races (Au Ra, Midlander,Mi'Qo Lalafel). Even if you're a girl character playing a male character and vice versa you can easily just do /busy with a blacklist and turn off general emotes and you won't see tells, emotes, /s chat anything it'll be like you're invisible but I know it's not sadly. There is harassment in this game but it's up to you how you deal with it SE is pretty clear with their guidelines sadly so even that "Tumblr" comment won't get you anywhere is it goes against the ToS for FF 14 as it's outside of the game.

They surely can't follow you everywhere if you own a house only access it to you and your FC/friends, and if you give them none of your time/comments then they go away and lose interest.

Lucky I would guess. I have had some really weird/nasty/uncalled for advances from other players during my years of MMO gaming on many different games. On FFXI for example it was pretty constant as I played a Mithra since I love cats and it was quite bad since I was a minor at the time and only in my early teens and sometimes learning the players harassing me claimed to be anywhere from 20-35 years old. Quite nasty.

On FFXIV it doesn't seem as often, though I do play with my boyfriend and he has the same last name as my character, so it might be a deterrent to some because they figure I am already taken/in a relationship. In FFXIV I only have a few instances in all 3 years of players asking me weird questions or being sexual towards me so in my case it seems to not happen as much anymore. I have joined random groups for hard content like EX primals or savage raids and used voice chat and everything and everyone has treated me like a normal teammate and they don't say or do anything inappropriate even after hearing my voice and confirming I am female.

So I am unsure of others experiences but in my experience FFXIV community seems to be a lot better off than some other online communities I've been a part of.

Perhaps I'm just not socialising enough in-game or Odin's too large for me to meet these creeps. They'd be running the other way after trying it on with me though if I ever did meet them. :P

I did try a stint on Twitch once where a guy asked me if I was single then quickly left when I said I was married, lmao. Hardly an MMO tho. x)

I would never see one of those ugly Yokai mounts or memelord Roes.
Please.

Give me this.

Having a bf/husband with you, glamouring an eternity ring, or having them in your comment is like the best way to deter guys from hitting on you xD.

In my experience, I've only had one creepy incident and hit on by a lesbian but other than that it was just things like being clearly treated or desired more than male members in my old FC.

FFXIV is my first MMO and I think although there are many thirsty guys it's not very bad a there are lots of girls playing.

In my current FC I'm in with I think 8 or 9 other women. I think more females than males.

Well unfortunately from personal experience I can tell you they don't lose interest or go away. It's also awesome when they join the FC whose house is next to yours.

Is this only female players or also fgor male players with female toons?

If it's a male on female getting messed with its likely because the culprits don't know.

If it's a female on a female character you just know what'll happen lol.

Reason I asked, I am a male with female toon and never got hit on. Well, except for one time in early days of EQ where a druid gave me lots of gear and some power leveling.

Hmm maybe you are probably very lucky!

I remember while I was first leveling to 50 some guy started randomly talking to me then tried to give me a Thavnarian dress.. I didn't know it was expensive. I declined :(.

Ever since I got married to my bf I haven't gotten anything crazy ;D.

Lol tell me about it. I met a guy in game who I talked to and did dungeons with for a few days. I left for 3 days because I was sick. Came back to find out that he told our FC that we were dating, LOL! I told them I barely knew him and we worked it out I thought. I forgave him and did another dungeon with him afterwards and he and starting using weird macros on me like (touches nuna's delicous a**). I feel bad for guys like you who just simply like playing female avatars for dress up or whatever reason and have to deal with this too.
