Blacklist Addon

We’ve been playing this for a few weeks now.

I have PUGed with a LOT different people.
I have talked to a LOT of deiffent people.

I have never grouped with a PUG a second time once the group broke up.
I have seen a name in the wild I recognized precisely once.

Reputation didn’t mean as much as people wanted it to in 1999 when there were 1500 people on the Everquest server. It certainly doesn’t mean anything on a 50,000 person server.

he wants to actively shun them, which seems a bit much to me.

Addons made so I can easily camp other factions are cool, but if I want to keep track of people who steal gear or are scummy in general, I’m the guy going too far.
Ok.

When I played vanilla, we pretty much learned who and what guilds to not play with. Didn’t need an app to keep track of them. Once the game has more time to mature, you will be doing high level content with a smaller list of players, and those players and guilds will build a reputation(good or bad). People with bad reputations usually end up playing with like players.

Nobody is buying this.

You want to be able to track people so you can grief them.

Ah see no matter what language you use in your thread OP people can and will read between the lines. Do you really think its a good idea to start whispering players that such and such is a jerk because at 10.52 pm on Saturday the 15th of the month of Butthurt, they said something you disagreed with?

Blacklists don’t really have a place in an MMO, doubly so for the sort of list that is shared among players.

I haven’t ninja’ed anything, but I still think what you’re asking for is a bit over the top. If you want a list so bad, make one yourself. Good ‘ol pen and paper.

If you want something that actively follows someone in a video game and don’t see how this is an issue. Then I’m willing to bet you have more underlying personal issues in your real life you may need to seek help for. It’s coming across as a bit creepy. Especially when you resort to the offensive in labeling people as ninjas, because they find it weird.

People have provided you with reasonable methods to accomplish what you’re wanting, but then you take it a step further in wanting to be able to legit follow them around.

You’re not the Classic WoW police man, and (I hope) not a stalker in real life.

Add them to /ignore and you’ll never see them again. If their name pops up in your party, tell the group and kick them or leave that group.

there’s… How is this hard for people?

Meet a jerk in the morning, they’re a jerk. Meet jerks all day, you’re the jerk.

Leave it to internet posters to think something as normal as a blacklist that’s existed since vanilla is somehow a personal issue that requires help.
Seems like a lot of CRZ babies in here that don’t remember what being a part of a community actually means.
People get a bad reputation, word of mouth matters.
“Oh no, this guy wants an addon so he’s alerted when a ninja joins his group, this guys is a stalker!!!” LOL get real.

I’m not trying to be the wow police, I said in my first post this is for personal use, I’m not trying to make a public shame list, just something for me and maybe my guild.
If someone screws over a guildy, I don’t want to pug with them. Period. It’s that simple.
Just because I don’t think I should have to put that person on ignore so I miss things they may say in chat, that makes me a stalker?
Imagine thinking that wanting to see peoples messages in an mmo is abnormal.

I am fluant in over 2 million forms of communication

All of them say this is a bit much

Again … your justification, ego stroking, and lack of understanding in what others are trying to show you (which you’re in complete denial of) is painfully obvious. You attacking people for bringing this to your attention is telling in my statement you’ve quoted more likely than not being accurate. You completely disregarded my statement in utilizing pen and paper which fits the criteria for what you want to accomplish, yet you only focus on the bit which makes you uncomfortable.

Maybe you need to “get real” …?

Have a good day.

I mean if you wanna be creepy and stalk them but not ignore them just add them to your FL with a creepy note… I guess.

Hi.
I need to ask honestly, all jokes aside. If someone you group with is a ninja and you no longer want to group with them (understandably so), why do you want to hear what they say in general or trade. Additionally, can you further explain what you meant by “I want to see what they’re up to”

Why is it not good enough to just add them to blacklist and be done

List of people I want to kill on opposing faction = normal. Addon for that is encouraged.
List of people I don’t want to group with on same faction = Super creepy and I need to seek help IRL.

LOL ok.

I already answered that. I don’t care if I see them chatting in general. The ignore function doesn’t alert me if someone I’ve ignored joins my group and ignore feels like a bad tool for a guild to potentially use as a “this guy has done something worth being careful about in the past” situation.

It’s amazing to me that something as benign as an ingame blacklist has caused such controversy when I’ve explicitly said it’s for private use and not some kind of server wide public shaming tool.
I just want a little alert that says “hey this guy is on your blacklist” if I party up with them.
I don’t want to put them on an ignore list, that doesn’t solve the problem and I honestly don’t want to ignore someone just because they left mid group after winning a roll on an item or something especially if I wasn’t even in that group.

I would probably explain it as OP likely wants to know that “justice is being served”. After blacklisting, he naturally wants to know he has exacted inconvenience to that player in return for their actions. If he ignores and forgets that player existed, it’s less satisfying than seeing them get frustrated at some future point about not getting into a group.

Essentially, I’d chalk it up to human nature and how we want to be validated. I think it’s natural to have those thoughts post-ninja event or whatever, but obsessing over it would be weird.

Im gonna make my job to point out all the specials like you in every topic i participate.
