Eureka NEEDS this one single feature ASAP

please oh please let us blacklist ppl in eureka.

There is one person in particular that comes in every day and talks non stop in /sh about how bad the content is. There is no way to blist them and they start fights in /sh chat constantly. I have even jumped instances to avoid this person. If you are not going to let the GMs do anything about them let us.

For the love of all that's good, let us use the blist feature in Eureka

I think in this case, it would be acceptable to at least report it as harassment. The effect would not be as immediate as a blacklist, or may have no effect at all, but you could at least feel like you did something to stop it.

I do agree that a blacklist option would be nice.

My roomie did and got a copy/paste response telling him so sorry and to blist the person.

GMs in this game feel powerless and are almost not worth contacting at all.

Do people you meet in Eureka show up on your Contacts list? If so, that might be the only way to do it. Otherwise, is there a chat command that can be typed to do it?

Lol, I am not sure about the forums but I submitted ingame suggestions about letting us have social options inside duty finder like blacklist, kick or leave the NN, etc.

Though I do not think GMs can do anything with people voicing their opinion, i mean it is pretty much truth anyway.

If it bothers you that much, filter out shouts or leave the instance for a diff one?

or am i supposed to reply with "first world problems so this issue does not matter"? I am a bit confused what is considered socially acceptable on these forums to begin with.

Ohhh, I wonder if I was in the same Eureka, I had such a blast /shouting with that person :D

Oh boy, so many times I tried my max to find how yo blacklist ppl from eureka, it's hell. The Spam is real. Please, add blacklist option!

But if you're in an instanced area, doesn't that ignore the blacklisting, allowing you to read their shouts anyway? (Even if you BL them outisde of said instance) Asking out of ignorance because I really don't remember.

It does, which is why if they want to allow instances like this they need to change their system to allow blacklisting or give GMs power to ban on sight like every other game in the civilized world. Players shouldn't have to instance hop or completely shut down their shout chat, which is pretty essential in eureka, because 1 person wants to start something and SE cant do something that's over 2 decades old already or because they are too scared to exert any authority over people who are trolling.

Eureka shout/yell, the barrens chat of XIV. It's....unbearable

Maybe, but it sure beats all the silent dungeon runs I've been doing for years... Then again, in some ways, so does Eureka, which is hilarious since the ones that make the chat the most interesting are the ones standing around inside Eureka complaining about Eureka and saying they'd rather be grinding a dungeon. XD

They did the things you suggested so I imagine you didn't read OP? Also that last bit, hoo-boy don't be cranky cause people tend to not agree with your rants in your own threads.

sometimes I can ignore the drama, but like earlier when I realized I missed several chats through an LS and the FC channels because of the walls upon walls of texts from the shouts, yells, and emotes spams, I was forced to filter my tabs. it's so annoying to navigate through senseless chat when looking for people to invite or to check which direction the train is planning to head. blacklist would be useful at times like that, but on average I like how the chat channels are alive with conversation.

Ignore them, they have been crying about eureka since its release. Wouldnt be shocked if we found out it was this poster that was doing it.

Based on what they said here in this thread...suspicions point to green.

I was not aware SE changed things to allow you B-list people in instances, wouldn't that make this thread pointless? I read just find tyvm

Do you read just fine?

Feels like the GMs should be able to do something atleast, kindof a shame someone is ruining the experience of people in content cause they don't like it. It's one thing to voice your opinion, it's another to spam it ingame where noone cares or needs it in shout chat. I hsven't seen such spammer but if it's that bad then yeah. the GM should've done something. No opinion is worth annoying 144 people in an instance.

Giving a GM the power to ban "On sight" without looking into the issue is anything but civilized. its tyranny, and not fair to anyone.

Usually doesn't take long to look at a chat log and see a player has been spamming disruptive messages so should be removed. Would imagine GMs have tools that allow that to be accomplished in about 2 minutes.

The only people who would see it as tyranny are those who are spamming the disruptive messages. Honestly, tough for them. It gets tiresome dealing with "but I should be able to do what I want without consequence" crowd. There are always consequences in life for the things we choose to do. If you use common sense and choose smart in the first place, you have nothing to worry about.

As for fairness, it is fair. We all agree to a code of conduct when we press Agree to the Terms of Service. You agree that SE can take action against your account if in their opinion you've violated what's in the ToS. If you don't want to follow other people's rules, don't go into their houses. When you're playing FFXIV, you're in SE's house.

Sadly, in this day and age, common sense isn't so common.

Yeah I mean if they where outright spamming and being obnoxious that is a different issue, but hard to see if the OP is just being overboard or if it is a real issue. In an ideal world, GM's saying just blacklist the person would mean it is not a big deal and nothing they can do, did the TC fully explain why the GMs should of looked at it? there is a lot of missing information for us to draw a proper conclusion for us to offer something really meaningful.

So you manage to miss my point and trying to be snarky on my reading ability? makes sense.
Yes I read just fine.

If you are confused and need me to explain what I meant further, that was an option for you to do so, I found it unnecessary and thought it was clear enough.

+1
With replies like that I have to question if the tc is really just overreacting or not.

I find the shout chat very entertaining in there. Almost all my instances have been fun except people calling Pazuzu... panini. Like wut?

They were probably hungry...and still are most likely.

This is the one of the myriad downsides of developing Eureka as a cross-server instance. Others include not being able to send /tells, not being able to easily form lasting teams with people you meet randomly inside it, not being able to queue for Duties while idly riding the NM train, and not being able to reliably join friends who are in Eureka without them needing to exit first.

I can understand why an instance was appealing, but for the love of Hydaelyn, SE needed to seriously stop and think about some of these downsides (and resolve some of them) before implementing instance content that so closely resembles open-world stuff.

Here ya go:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ents-to-eureka
I hope to get stuff like what you said and in general having more social options. WoW handles all this stuff well, it is shocking SE can't get anything near the functionality wow has.

(for others, I did add the OP's suggestion in the list, it is something I agree on, i just felt there was a bit over-reaction, but I was not there with no examples to see how bad it was or if it was based on over reaction "ban on sight is a bit far for me, if someone just trying to express a viewpoint)

I would just like to stop seeing Lalafel Shota-Porn when I'm in there. Please and thank you.

Everytime I'm in Eureka I use shout chat to express how much I hate teh content.

People keep telling me to quit playing Eureka, but my community keeps asking me to participate. I just can't keep my mouth shut. They really need to fix the 90% afk thing if they want to cut down on shout chat. Otherwise if you put 144 people in an instance where you're not doing anything for 90% of the time, yet you're trapped there to get crystals it only leads to a bunch of people being all pissy and moody and they just echo off each other.

I try my best not to enter eureka at all costs. I only go if the community drags me in. I try to be supportive of my server, but God do I hate Eureka.

I've /shouted my gripes in there before, but not enough for it to be considered spam. I see people praising it more than putting it down. Some of the praise is deserved while some of it isn't. It's one of those things that no matter what anyone says, some people will like it and some will not. What kills me though is how uninformed some people are, like someone I interacted with yesterday. This is paraphrasing, mind you:

Random:"This is just like XI!"
Me: "This is hardly XI...this is one big fate grind. That's it."

I played XI. XI was pretty dang hardcore some years ago, but I had a blast. Eureka is not. There are XI references abound though.

But that said, if we can send /tells and form groups in Eureka, we should have a blacklist option. I have come across my fair share of annoyances. Anything can happen when you put 144 random people in the same instance.

Well, at least it's better than FF11. I can afk and still get my full relic gear and weapon.
