Allow blacklisting in dungeons

[dioxideUniversa]

Please allow players to utilize the blacklist feature in dungeons.

Here is the thing: I do not want to deal with players using hateful language, but I also do not want to cause a disruption in party. I do not think a group should have to deal with waiting for a new member over this issue, but as it stands, that is how it typically works because I have no patience with dealing with this sort of thing. A single dungeon run isn't at all worth the trouble. I should be able to quietly blacklist the offending player, and everyone moves on with the run without notice. It shouldn't be a huge, disruptive ordeal just because blacklisting isn't possible in dungeons.

I don't know if it's just how the system is implemented or if it is a conscious design decision, but if it is the latter, I've never seen any tangible benefit from restricting players' ability to blacklist others, yet it impacts me negatively all the time.

It's not too much to ask.

This has come up many times before. What you're actually asking for is a Mute function. On the surface it's a sound idea. Click the person and be able to temporarily block them for the duration of the dungeon. The thing is if someone is being that disruptive that's what Vote Kick is for. If you block someone out, especially if you're tanking, you could miss legit messages from them such as afk announcements that could cause a wipe. You can't really depend on the other party members to convey info unless you came right out and said you Muted the person. As it stands you can get the desired effect simply by changing chat channels.

I thought you meant a kind of flag that said "I don't want to be grouped with this person again". If you found someone disruptive, annoying, whatever, it'd make sure you can't queue with them.

To a certain extent it'd be self-policing because if you block absolutely everyone who's not up to some super high standard then obviously your queue times will go way up. However, if you limit it, or clear your list semi-regularly then it should be fine.
