[Suggestion] Blacklisting a character silences them, client-side, for the blacklister

[Aizo]

Emote spamming drives me up the wall. It's not just the text box spam, though - it's the noise. The constant squeaking and cheering and whatever else it is that people love to spam. It's a person's right to do that if they want, but it's so prolific that it's obnoxious to have to turn off my speakers every time I go to a market board or the tomestone vendor.

It would be nice to be able to silence them without having to silence the entire game or go into my options and specifically turn voices off, only to go back and revert all of it once I'm away from the spammer. I don't want to impede on other peoples' right to do whatever they want in chat... I just don't want to be forced to hear it.

I already blacklist them so that my text box isn't exploding with their spam clicking on an emote. I believe if it were possible that it would be a nice QoL change to implement a client-side silence on the person's character's sounds, too.

Please add ability silencing too.

Nothing is worse than trying to craft near a MNK, PLD, etc that thinks it's funny to spam loud noisy spells such as Circle of Scorn, Chakra, etc in the middle of town near popular crafting areas such as the marketboard. You know why they are doing it.

That, or... automatically filter out all ability affects/sounds while you are crafting in town. Either/or.

I don't even want to try to count how many times I ran elsewhere to get away from emote spam from an annoying voice. A few times I have had players follow me, obviously trolling me with this. It's annoying that putting a player on your ignore list doesn't silence them. It really should. If you have ignored a player you obviously don't want to hear their animation sounds.

Yes, PLEASE!!!

[Lildragora]

yes please.

Also, can reporting someone for RMT also PLEASE silence them?

When would we ever report someone for RMT and then want to continue reading their spamming?

This. WoW has a temporary blacklist system separate from the normal blacklist, which places people that you report on this temporary blacklist for the duration of your play session IIRC. Anytime you report an RMT there, you won't see anything else from that character until you log out and back on (and by then they've been nuked by the GMs).

Please add ability silencing too.

In /systemconfig, the sound settings include sliders for non-party sound effects. If you turn them down to 0, you won't hear random town people crafting or spamming noisy abilities.

You'll still hear emote noises, though.
