Let us blacklist other people while in-duty

[VerdeLuck]

This is something other games have that I do not understand why we don't have. If someone is causing issues in the gmae and I find them annoying, my only options are to turn off chat, kick them, or take an abandon. I think a much easier way is to just let us blacklist people while in-duty. It's kind of silly to me we can't already do it.

So many arguments I've seen would be handled if you could just do that. People arguing over sound effect macro spam, passive aggressive fights in chat during a duty between players, etc. We could just bypass those if you didn't have to exit any duty you're in to actually use the self-moderation features the game already provides.

might have something to do with complications of if you blacklist someone, you, in theory, never get grouped with them again.

might cause complications if its applied and you are already in a party with them in a duty

I could see issues arising with the code logic that could have unintended consequences

I've done well over 10,000 duties on my main alone, nevermind alts, and never had these issues with people... normally just a silent run, too.

I've literally been matched with someone in a duty that I blacklisted 1 week prior. Can you imagine how awkward that is? It happens though.

It doesn't outside of duties. The issue is usually that the information is not carried with you onto the duty server and it can't access information that isn't on the duty server.

That's not a thing. It only prevents messages, and joining a pf hosted by you.

Blacklist doesn't even work on duty-matchmaking. That is correct. You can still match with persons you blacklisted.

Blacklist only works on chats anyway so just turn off your chat for the duration of the duty (right click chat then 'hide') or just exit (type U then leave)

No. Grow thicker skin.

It would be nice to not have to turn off all chat or turn off all sound in the case of sound effect macro spam. It seems like using a sledgehammer for a small problem.

Blacklisting already exists in the game and is the first thing GMs ask you to do in any case of issues between players. Asking for it to actually work more consistently in the game is not having thin skin.

I agree. I just sent some possible solution. Maybe one day we will have a better blacklist solution without the use of you-know-what's™/things-that-must-not-be-named™

I've used a mini nuke to kill a radroach once. Overkill? Yes. Fun? Not really but it was something to look at.
