Weird question.. blacklisting, etc

[Kakiko]

So, I know this is a weird question but I can't find an answer for it when I Google.

My boyfriend and I broke up last night. It sucked. It wasn't mutual. I was blindsided and I'm not doing so great at the moment. I'll survive.

Anyway!! He's the one who got me into this game a month or so ago. I've unfriended him from my list but we also play on the same server. I know I can change servers, but I have made at least one friend on it (Kacho!!!! ) so I don't know if I want to do that.

My question: Is there any way to make his character completely invisible to me? Even if he were standing right next to me, would it be possible to make him invisible?

As far as I'm aware, no. Blacklisting will make it so you can never see his text in-game, but you will still see him, possibly be queued into the same instances with him, etc.

Blacklisting him will also grey out any PFs he makes that you see in the Party Finder, but I believe that's as far as it goes.

Nope. Blisting in this game isn't really good at all lol. If you was married through eternal bond, and you threw away your ring, he can still use his to teleport to you. He can still send you mail but you cannot send him anything as you've deleted him of your friends list (stupid huh?), you'l still end up in the same duties if you so hapen to queue for the same thing at the same time, only thing is, you cant see what he's saying but he can see what you're saying. As Ilea has stated, all it does is grey out the parties he posts on pf. thats it.

All i can say is just ignore him if he causes any trouble.

I've been told by a GM that blacklisting someone prevents you from being matched with them in Duty Finder. I haven't ever been matched with someone on my blacklist before, so I can neither confirm nor deny the validity of that claim. GMs aren't infallible so some times they do give out the wrong information, but I'd be more inclined to lean toward the GM's answer on that matter. I haven't blacklisted many people, but I did have to blacklist a stalker, who still finds me through player search and goes EVERYWHERE I do (GM apparently still hasn't done anything after 3 sexual harassment reports, and same GM responded each time....), and have never been matched with him. Could be luck, could be blacklist. Who knows.

Either way, chances of running in to him through Duty Finder are still slim to none.

I can confirm that blacklisting does not prevent you from getting matched with them in DF. I've had people on my blacklist end up in DF with me more than once before. I just ignore it and do the DF usually since I cannot see anything they say anyway I just /shrug

I can confirm that blacklisting does not prevent you from getting matched with them in DF. I've had it happen more than once with people I have on my blacklist.

Ah, well good to know. Like I said GMs are not infallible and can pass on wrong information. To be honest it doesn't surprise me though, especially their reluctance to act on repeated sexual harassment and stalking complaints with a mountain of evidence and many witnesses to corroborate. Why would the blacklist be any different I guess?

I am also sorry you having to deal with that kind of harassment. I've also had something like that happen in the past in a previous online game and it isn't something anyone should have to deal with.

And also I am sorry for OP to be going through a breakup and such I hope you feel better.

no you can't, blackisting blocks the ring

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!

wrong, it does

I know first hand experience blacklisting blocks a ring from an experience last year, around 3.4.. yeah just after 3.4 We where even face to face at one point in uldah, and when she took me off it worked.
