Who else thinks better blacklist management is needed?

Any time I'm back in the core world, there's always at least one bot spamming RMT messages. I don't want to see them. I blacklist and report.

Now my blacklist is full.

I have no idea of any of the bots I've added have been removed. If they are removed, why are those spots still full on my blacklist?

Most of the other lists of people have the "Connect" button that checks status, lets you know if they exist. Makes it easy to know that somebody on that list is gone. Here, in the blacklist, no such tool.

Not even a mass removal method. The fastest way to do anything with this is to press 0 0 4 0 on the numpad 200 times.

My dream feature would be for people deleted from the game to be deleted from everywhere in the game as they left.

I think this needs a little help, anybody else agree?

QoL is always nice. My blacklist perpetually sits at 0, though. If I don't want to see it, I don't see it. A bot is spamming? My mind just blocks it and I don't see it.

Automatic removal of deleted accounts would be good. Mass editing options for all such lists would be good. Better automated detection of bots and automatically getting rid of them would be best. I know it's cliche to post something about game dev with "it can't be that hard", but it can't be that hard to detect that a player is beneath the surface of the world.

Better management of ALL lists would be awesome:

Black list: Auto-remove deleted characters, and allow for removal of multiple entries instead of single-target nuking them off the list.

Friend list: Make it two-way - If I delete someone from my friend list, it should remove me from theirs. Auto-remove deleted characters etc.

Blacklisting rmt bots is pointless. They are only around for a couple hours before they logout and make a new one.

Banned accounts don't have their characters removed. You will never know of they are gone unless it was a compromised account the owner reclaimed, and then deleted the bot chars. Rarely happens though.

idk i never add anyone to blacklist. rmt spammers are banned within a day basically so its almost pointless to do so. also they dont set up at the secondary market board in limsa and its always quiet there if they do start to bother me.. hawkers alley or something?

If your blacklist is full because you're blocking shouts, you're spending too much time in limsa.

I want my name to appear greyed out to anyone on my /blist.

If anything, I'd like to be able to add people to my blacklist while I'm in an instanced duty.

While that is true, the annoyance becomes apparent when you're also hanging around for a couple of hours. You could brush it off if you're going for pit stop in a major city but if you're looking to stay longer, chances are you're gonna do your fair share of blacklisting.

In any case, blacklist and friend list mgmt should be a thing, imo. It would be a nice QoL addition.
