Blacklist QoL

[ayreon]

Hi there, I know this has come up several times in the past, but I'm hoping one of these days it might actually be considered. Some small changes I'd like to see:

• Removal of your character from a blocked person's friend list
  If you have a person blocked, it stands to reason you also probably don't want them being able to view your online status / location so easily. Granted, they would still be able to use player search, but a mutual removal would still be helpful.
  
• Ability to block someone via Player Search
  We know you can block people via chat or recent contacts. However, bad experiences don't always happen in-game, and it's quite bothersome to have to find a person in the wild just to use a target blacklist macro. You can already Friend and Party request from the player search window as well.
  
• Retain Blacklist when transferring servers
  This is, in my opinion, a very important change. Our friends are maintained when we transfer, so there's no reason the Blacklist shouldn't come along as well. Depending on why the person was blacklisted, this can also cause issues for the person transferring, especially considering the lack of implementation of the first two points. Imagine transferring and having a harasser both still having easy access to your location, and now having the ability to talk you again. This is not good. Usually it is suggested you block them again and report, but I don't think players should have to worry about looking over their shoulder because they wanted to go play with some friends on another server.

Thanks for your time.

This should exist the moment you remove someone from your friends list even if they are not blocked. The game requires mutual consent and forces mutual addition to the friend lists when sending a friend request. It's only logical and fair that the removal is done on both ends too.

These are usefull QoL you propose. I vouch for that.

I'll even add one thing.

After sometimes pass, or because people tend to rename, we "forgot" why people are in our blacklist. I suggest we can add some "note" to each player inside the Blacklist so we can check "Why" we blocked it. Let's say for exemple that I blacklisted someone for being harsh (way too harsh) towards a new player.

I click him, select Blacklist, and then I little window pop up with : "Insert the reason for the Blacklist"

You then type something, in this exemple : "Being excessively rude towards new players".

You could even add the name of the person inside the note to help you remind better in case he change name !

Also need blacklisting to automatically prevent their messages from being seen - it should act as a mute as well.
Also the context menu to select blacklisting needs to be available in PVP - it's insane that we have no way to shut up people who spam sound effects.

I strongly agree and share the same sentiment with OP.

I'm being stalked by somebody I used to be friends with, and now all they do is wait for me (and watch me via friends list) to queue into PvP just so that they can join in the same instance and snipe me the entire match.

I've been reporting the issue with evidence, including a /tell asking them to stop watching me through the friends list when I queue and attempting to jump into the same match just so they can grief me.
Since you never hear back from what ever came of your report, I don't know if any type of action was taken, but judging by how they still try to queue into PvP with me, I'd say probably none.

I used to enjoy climbing the ranks in PvP, but now my routine in-game has devolved to queuing for PvP once right when I log in, and then doing my dailies and calling it a day.
This really cut down my play time and has been a source of anxiety, where this game used to be more of a therapeutic and relaxing experience.

Please add a LOT more spaces for the bl, 200 is way too little. Make it 500+ and give different sorting functions by name, date of bl aso.
