Weird question.. blacklisting, etc

[Ametrine]

Can confirm. This is something players have been complaining about for years. Blacklist only prevents said players from having a dialogue with you and that's it.

You can even still land in instances with players on your B-list. I've had this happen after B-listing troll in Palace of the Dead, only to be queued in with him on the next set of floors! So, if you feel the need to jump servers to get distance, you'd have to jump whole datacenters.

It's a bit crazy how badly implemented it is.

I'm not sure there's anything else I could contribute to answer your main question that the others haven't already said (my newbie status notwithstanding anyway), but I just wanted to say how sorry I am that happened to you OP. Break-ups suck, and there's no getting around that. But I hope things look up for you soon! On the bright side, I think it's wonderful you made a friend on your server. I'm sure they can help you through this as well.

Thanks everyone. It does suck, and it was unexpected. I appreciate the kind words

I'm not sure how much he's even playing the game, to be honest. He seemed mostly to play it when he was at my place and when he's at his place he was playing other things so maybe I won't see him. I don't really mind if I bump into him in a duty because half the time I don't read names anyway. I just didn't really want to be wandering around in Ul'dah or whatever and see him. I don't think he'd cause any trouble since he's the one who wanted to break up.

But yes, this seems poorly implemented. You should be able to de-render someone or make them invisible somehow along with being unable to see them or be matched with them in a duty. It's a shame.

Ugh... !

Anyway, Since blacklisting is close to useless in this game, heres a list of everything missing from it:

Blacklisting doesn't stop you seeing the character in game, Unacceptable.
Blacklisting doesn't stop them from using an Eternal Bond teleport directly to you, Unacceptable.
Blacklisting doesn't prevent in-game mail from anyone previously added as a friend, Unacceptable.
Blacklisting doesn't stop you from getting matched in duties, Unacceptable. (I've been matched with two blacklisted players in the same light-party...)
Blacklisting doesn't for some reason, stop the player blacklisted, from seeing what you say... this is really, really bad, Unacceptable! (/say /fc /ls /party etc)

Please update the Blacklist with these needed suggestions!

All excellent suggestions and I'm really wondering why these aren't already implemented. Is it a difficulty with the system itself or is it just a general attitude of "not that important"? For me personally I'm doubtful it will be a huge issue with my specific situation but for others being harassed, it seems unacceptable that you can't make it so that someone cannot contact or interact with you at all, and that you can't see that person at all. Much of my online time the past 6 years or so was spent in Second Life (I know, I know), and there you could "mute" someone (stop them from talking to you at all, either in open chat or private chat) and you could de-render and blacklist their avatar so that they were 100% invisible to you no matter what they did.

I appreciate the offer, but all I need right now is a giant tub of chocolate fudge ice cream and Screwdrivers so strong you can smell the vodka a block away.

I recommend getting a bottle of good dark rum or good whiskey, popping them in the freezer until they are nice and thick and then pouring a generous portion over your fudge ice-cream.

Mmm ... boozy ice-cream.

Raspberry sorbet and chilled port are also great together.
