Blacklist Feature Request

[EmpyreanHelios]

The blacklist is such a useless feature that you can still queue into something with someone that you blacklisted.

If I'm not wrong, blacklisted players can't join your PF tho.

It would be nice if when they deleted bots, they'd be removed from the blists.

As of right now, the only way to blacklist someone is to target them. It would be a lot more helpful to be able to type the person's name into the blacklist so you can blacklist them from anywhere and don't have to hunt them down!

It's not fair that you have to track down someone you are trying to avoid just to avoid them.

Only if it's reduced to 50 players. No way someone gets annoyed by 200 players unless they are the problem.
Also, some players are using the blacklist feature to block new players which is a no-no.

No there definitely is 200+ ppl worth blocking. Bots,phishers,people who spam things in chat, people who spam their fc ad every minute,ppl who harass or annoy you.The list goes on.

I don't know about you, but I've been playing since 2013, and I've encountered tens of thousands of players in that time. I certainly have over 50 in my blacklist, and it's not because of me. Some could be removed by now, but I can't remember why they're in there so I just play it safe. One time I got in a duty with someone I had blacklisted and after my partner read out what they were saying, I was reminded of why they were on my blacklist to begin with.

This. I blacklist bots when I report them so I don't report them twice. I blacklist anyone promoting things in shout, at least for a few days. Anyone that has huge macros, say offensive things, or use party/alliance chat as their personal chat room get put in there. After 8 years of playing, it fills up. Just because you don't care about things, that doesn't mean other people must be the problem for actually using the blacklist.

I just wish blacklist would actually prevent them from being partied with you in duties. :/
It's pretty useless.

Yeah these won't be more than 50 tbh
Bots are quick to get banned so no point in blacklisting them because by tomorrow the bot who will spam in the chat is going to be another one.
People, who spam things like what? Most are by incidents from what I see.
FCs recruiters aren't that many. Their messages are but just blacklist a couple of them and it will all become quiet.
People who harass you should be reported as well as blacklisting but as FCs recruiters they shouldn't be many.
Which in the end doesn't exceeds 50 players unless something is wrong indeed and that's probably from the player's side, not theirs.

It's not useless. Imagine blacklisting all the good players at PvP from the opposite factions so you don't get matched with them?

So they'll never show up on your team. It shouldn't prevent them from being matched into the opposing team.

In which it would also be used to blacklist all the players who're starting doing PvP because they're not skilled enough. Which is something that is currently happening in some PF groups in which some players get blacklisted even without a warning or something because they're not good enough. Someone even went too far to the point they shouted in the chat: "Blacklist X player!!!" without specifying why and I have seen this more than once.
If Blacklisting players would stop them from being matched with you in DF then this may results in a longer queue time from either your end or theirs, which can be avoided by just ignoring them and not replying to any of their messages. The game shouldn't punish others and stop matching them with you because you just disagreed with them. In fact, it's ultra-rare for you to be matched with someone on your blacklist in any duty roulette unless one of you is spamming a duty roulette and the other queued for it then here there is a higher chance of getting matched up but otherwise its ultra-rare. As for PvP, if I'm not mistaken you can't chat with others. So in the end there is no reason to stop someone from being matched with you in DF. It can only cause harassment ( Mass/Encouraged Blacklisting on a player )
As I have said earlier, unless a player is a snowflake who literally blacklist anyone they disagreed with, I don't see how a player can have more than 50 other players in their blacklist without counting the bots.
