[Feedback] Blacklist is better, but not good enough.

You know what you are asking for and how SE will implement this, right? Then the characters you block will know instantly they are blocked. They weren't able to filter out the data of blocked characters from data transferred from the server so they won't now add that for this feature. Instead the server will tell that client that they are blocked.

And the stalking plugin will simply remove that from the game anyway.

Even if they would do it the right way, stalker plugin can just synchronize your data and chats from other clients you have not blocked. This is a fight they can't win.

All you are asking for is that "fragile illusion of safety". Unless you suggest adding a kernel-level anticheat which will be the end of the game. If SE is as competent adding kernel-level anticheat to the game as they were with the block feature its just a matter of time until all XIV players get hacked and infected with ramsomware or worse.

Those words and concepts strung together do not mean what you think they do, and have literally nothing to do with how this could be implemented.
