Why is there no option to blacklist players from estates?

[YuzuyuVolanti]

A recent issue I've had has more or less caused an issue to become more apparent to me; why is it that there's no way to keep a specific player from entering your FC estate? I believe someone you've blacklisted can still access your personal home as well, if it is open, but this seems like a strange oversight.

I get that you can lock/unlock your estate so that only FC members or tenants can enter, and if you've blocked someone they can't directly TP to your estate (though they can find it and walk). But this feels like too broad a thing- if I only want to keep a particular person (or handful of people, maybe) out of my house, why is it not possible to prevent entry to them without straight up locking my house? I want to still be able to allow my friends to enter.

This is more or less just a curiosity thing- I'm not expecting a sudden change, though it would be nice to have this added. I'm not sure if it's been addressed before and I just missed it somewhere.

Blacklists are lacking so much. They SHOULD: Prevent people from or remove you from their friendlist, prevent matchups, prevent trades, restrict access to houses or other small instances you're in.


Right now all they do is make it so they can't PM you and you can't see what they say.

it is so absurdly difficult to blacklist people in general.

there are people on primal that will just repeatedly tp across the various cities and use /sea to get a list of all the people in the area, /tell them and then warp to the next city and repeat and if you don't instantly catch them and blacklist them they'll have teleported away and it won't work.

Yeah, expansion on the feature is pretty much necessary these days.

Too many stalkers and harassers.

Yeah; I've had people I wasn't able to blacklist before send me a message and then log out or otherwise make it difficult to blacklist them- it's really frustrating. What prompted this question is a neighbouring FC keeps coming to our house, spamming our message book (which I now had to remove after 2 reports), and then leaving. They left a taunting message in /say while I was AFK, just making it more frustrating because I was still at work when it happened- come back, person is offline/in duty or otherwise unable to be grabbed and blacklisted. Report function is like "remember to blacklist!" can we... make it easier? and also it doesn't solve the problem? I had to remove a book that had some lovely messages from friends in hopes that it makes the issue stop. Then as a female character there's the blatant inappropriate kinds of harassment and if the person does any of the mentioned things to escape a block, welp...

It really surprises me how insanely hard it is to successfully block someone, especially if it's something you don't catch right away. They constantly tell you in the "report harassment" section to "remember to blacklist" but it's like; sure, I'd love to...? If I could? Can you make it so it works offline/offworld/etc? Can you keep them from entering my estate(s)?

Really heavily agree. If I don't want to see someone's chat messages, or receive private messages from them, I probably also don't want them in a party with me or in my house. It's INSANELY wild to me that it's so limited. Most games (or chat services in general) let you blacklist no matter what and there's almost no way for them to find/get ahold of you once you've done so. This game still leaves you awkwardly accessible/vulnerable to players you really don't want to be around for one reason or another.

Well the good news is when you blacklist someone they can't join a party you're the leader of, thank god.

Well at least we have that, LOL

Wasn't their reason to not make blacklist do more than these is because they want to avoid the "Why do they remove me?"-situation from the blacklisted? Or was this more about friendlist removal? I couldn't quite recall it... but either way, I think it's absurd. We really should have an option to completely remove interaction from certain player if we wish to.
