Looks like the request for better safety features is gaining some traction.

I mean it has be stated that SE has a dated view on how their black listing works, it has been requested for many years now just appeared it needed the the influx of new players and slow “news” cycle to gain some form of maintain stream attention.

Now question, do you think other long time requests or grips be gain more exposure now? Are the fears of new content creators violating the ToS openly with their mods get attention? Will SE do something regarding bots in general? :glares: You know who you are, man has been boting since I started playing back in HW. Granted, I have never reported them because we are friends, but I know others have.

Honestly I do hope SE starts look into their dated systems, like being able to mail between alts would be nice. Sure it is not needed, but when that bug was in place where you could add your alts to your friend list it was a awesome I legit I have extra reintainers for free. Granted I know that is probably part of the reason they do not want to make it so you can mail between ALTS, still would be nice.

I would even take being able to trade more then 1 million Gil at a time.

OR do you think this will just be another one of those brothel related articles that just fades away into the ether?

I've been asking for a better blacklist system for YEARS! If older MMOs have a better blocking system than your current game, you know there's a big problem.

My main grip with the current "blacklist" system is this:
- You have to physically find the person in the world, or at least be near them to see them chatting in order to add them to black list.
- Have to do it through the social menu to "add to blacklist"
- People on your blacklist can join PFs under another person, even if you're in the party. You just won't see anything they're saying.
- You cannot type a person's name + server manually, which is a huge annoyance/problem. You used to be able to, but it disappeared after world visit was introduced. They need to bring this back without going through all these hurdles.
- Blacklisted people can still show in the same duties as you. Happened to me a few times within the last month or two. Not fun.

I'm HOPING they bring back the manually putting people back on your blacklist. Just make it easier to to do "@server" at the end of someone's name. -_-

What even is this article? Was there even a statement by SE? All I'm seeing is a couple paragraphs about a Reddit post. Must have been a slow day.

Yeah though I do wonder if this was just product of a slow news cycle or grounds for potential greater influence due to increase player base and exposure.

Said reddit post has gained a fair bit of traction outside of the subreddit, which tends to draw some outside interest from journalists.

Glad it got some outside attention. This is a critical feature in sore need of modernizing. I haven't had it as bad as sme of the posters on that reddit, but someone from an old FC stalked myself and my friends for a while when we left. I changed data center because of it.

In before they go woke and change it to blocklist

Or wrong forums?

I mean, it really wouldn't be that big of a deal to change it to that. Still means and accomplishes the same thing. lol

RMT issues were handwaved until Yoshi saw firsthand at how bad it was outside the JP servers when he had to deal with the spam /tells.

Unfortunately I think the jank blacklist/unfriending being one sided will stay until something lights a fire under him again since the last time it was brought up he kinda shrugged it off with a "well, if someone sees they've been unfriended their feelings might be hurt!" remark.

A news report about some random reddit (belch) topic.
It'd be like having a news report about how in my opinon, I think Reddit is a terrible website and I never use it. A useless but not untrue news report.

No actual statement from SE, nothing is happening thusfar,
