Mentors...please!

Reasonable.


Um, you probably misunderstood me. "Blacklist" exists to ensure that personally you no longer get into dungeons with this person.
At the same time, we did not have any problems with the recruitment of the group.
It is a simple and effective method of preventing conflicts and creating a comfortable environment.

No, what I'm saying, is you could have an instance where a player angers someone, and if that someone has a big enough group of frienda/is a streamer, their followers could all add this one person to their blacklist. If that's a big enough chunk of people on a single datacenter, it could make said players queues much longer, as not only can the system not match said player into a party with people who blacklisted them, but it only takes 1 person per party to lock them out. If there are a bunch of people queueing with them on their list, and they all get matched into different groups, he can't match into any of them.

The player didn't even have to be toxic in this instance. It could have just been a slight disagreement.


And you may say "well that can't happen, people aren't that vindictive" or "the system wouldn't be able to do that" but that's exactly what would happen. See people trying to queue on the JP datacenter with only English selected and not understanding why they are waiting multiple hours for story dungeon queues to pop.
