That’s the thing, the old blacklist wasn’t exploitable (mostly because it was so limited in its functionality that it wasn’t worth exploiting). The new blacklist is simply far too exploitable because your account information SHOULDNT be on someone else’s client, this is MMO design 101. No change to the blacklist will do anything meaningful if you continue to allow account information to be sent to the client because with that happening everything else is just an security theatre

Like I said I don’t necessarily disagree with your proposals but they will only work if square man’s up and actually invests in moving blacklist functionality to the server, everything else is about as effective as taking your shoes off before a flight

I know you think you're advocating for privacy, but it's really sounding like you're advocating for in-game stalkers to be allowed to continue stalking their victims.
Literally nobody is arguing that, people are arguing that “security theatre” of the suggestions offered is useless when your account data is on your stalkers client
