Mute Player/ Blacklist = Mute option.

Hi there,

I'm sure lots of people have seen it happen..
Some performer is trying to play a song, or is entertaining a whole crowd of people in town... when suddenly some random players starts spamming notes.

In some cases, as in my servers case, there are players doing this intentionaly, every single day just with the purpose of annoying people, wich I consider harassment.

Since we cannot easily report this, or call people out because of the 'naming and shaming' policy on the forums, this might be a better option.

Could it be considered a future feature in the game that playes that we blacklist also get MUTED? or there be a mute player option implemented?

This community is rather awesome, especcialy compared to other games.
Pls consider this an option, in order to stop people from poisoning it for others.

Regards. Griever

That's be a great feature. Also would be nice if blacklisted ppl didn't have access to your housing (even if it's set to public), and would have significantly decreased chances to get matched with you in DF (to the point of never getting matched perhaps?). If someone ends on my blacklist it's for a good reason usually and matching us together would serve no good purpose no matter what. I only blacklist ppl that I can't, don't want and won't play with, so getting matched with them.... kinda defeats the purpose of whole blacklist feature. Also blacklisting ppl in alliance raid that are not in your alliance would be welcome.

YES Please... pleaspleasplease! As great as the new performance content is, some people just abue it as a troll tool. This would be the perfect way!

Just another detail that /blist could do that it doesn't.

Please like his post, and hope it shows up in the admin's radar.

If this means I can start muting people that uses Female Mi'qote voice 5 im all for it

God yes please.

Are there really some childish people who do that...?

This was a huge problem back when GW 2 released instruments as toys. I believe they implemented what you are asking for shortly later after there were complaints. Basically in GW 2 anyone you ignore usually gets put in a different shard/phase than you depending on the server load. Meanwhile Blizzard just up and muted everyone making everyone suffer for the actions of a few.

You'd be surprised how often this happened in WoW and GW 2. It was something I was worried about when they announced bards being able to play musical notes in FF XIV. It never fails because there will always be that ONE person who will try to ruin it for everyone. Though through my experience it seems the FF XIV players are a bit more mature compared to GW 2 and WoW. Especially WoW.

This could get abused by people that hate bard music.

Every time I see someone practicing a melody, you'll see another player pop in and spam their harp, sometimes they keep at til the original player gives up, or they just do it for a minute and then get back to their own business.

It's absolutely an issue for bards.

How? by muting you so THEY can't hear you? who is that abusing? You can still play,they just cant hear you. I'm pretty sure the OP doesn't imply they should have the power to mute people so that OTHER players can't hear them.

How can this be an abuse exactly ?
The suggestion is to be able to mute players for ourselves. Not mute player for everyone.
This is personnal so... there is no abuse.

This way, if someone try to ruin someone's performance, you can mute him and it's done, you'll only hear the one who is playing for real.

How about also making it so you're literally invisible to the player you blacklisted and that the blacklist prevents the player you blacklisted from finding your name on the player search?

i love to not be matched in Df with the 5 players i Loth yea if i see them i will not work with them sorry

Being able to mute horrible music play bards on top of this? Yes..very much so.

I support this, can't be too hard to add I'd think.
