can we have a real blacklist plz?

[EmmaVirgin]

i dont care about it if i have to wait a few minutes longer but if i put someone on my blacklist i dont want to play ever again with this person in any content.


p.s.

a "dont heal this pulling damage dealer" skill on my bar for eos/selene would be awesome.

It will never happen because it will put too much strain on duty matching algorithm.

Consider the following
Person A blacklisted Person B
Person B blacklisted Person C
Person C blacklisted Person D
...
Person Y blacklisted Person Z
And finally Person Z blacklisted Person A
Coincidentally, they all decided to queue for duty 1. The server then has to check whether the next person has been blacklisted by previous person or not. This could also potentially ended in infinite loop, resulting in duty never popping.
And this is just basic series loop, imagine if Person A blacklisted more than 1 person, and so on.

But I have a solution for you.
It's called using Party Finder.
"But what if I want to do (insert obscure duty here)? It will never fill up!"
And I would tell you that's a realistic result of implementing blacklist in such way that you suggested.

It's really not as obtuse as you're making it out to be here. And the way I know that is that WoW does this exact thing and it doesn't cause the matchmaking servers to burst into flames.

Yes but WoW has a hell of a lot more money thrown its way from their subs alone than the combined amount they give them from subs/shop here. WoW also has more developers to work with, again this is like a skeleton crew in comparison to most development teams on MMO's of this caliber.

None of that changes how computers or programming work.

Person B could group with Person D, F, H, J, L, N, and P. Person A would get C, E, G, I, K, M, O.

Whoa whoa hold on.
DD's that keep their stacks are the best gift we have right now. If your tank is too slow to keep your monks GL up, commend you Monk for doing it themselves.

If they can't do it on df. I would like to see some changes on pf. Like on pf search info ''who are on the party?'' And then appears the message. This party have a person from your blacklist on it are you sure that you wanna join?

[EmmaVirgin]

Normally this would be the case but when you have a small team and little money coming back into the game, it limits what it can be done. Of course there's also the coding issue, WoW has better coding for the most part i'm sure, they're constantly working to improve their game, SE (not the devs) doesn't care.
