Can we get account wide ignore?

[Jaesears-dalaran]

I don’t understand how an ignore system can be abused. There’s two options, ignore someone or don’t ignore someone.

Ignoring people who give you a headache or who say hateful things is completely valid. It exists to be used, but using it is abusing it??

There are no rules set by blizzard about ignoring people and everyone has their own set of rules for it. Trying to make someone else follow your own personal rules is dumb and it won’t happen.

If you find yourself getting ignored a lot, you need to step back and reflect on your own behavior instead of blaming the people who don’t want you in their life.

[Hwanwok-ysera (Hwanwok)]

This “proposed system” has existed in EVERY forum on the INTERNET.

I want to know who is “abusing” the said system on literally any other forum that exists on the internet.

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

WoW is just a different kettle of fish.

Afterall if its as easy as its proposed to do then, why haven’t they done it?

[Hwanwok-ysera (Hwanwok)]

WoW is irrelevant here, were talking about the forums.

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

Which still leaves.

If a bunch of people who don’t like you put you on ignore there’s not some deeper conspiracy going beyond that… they just put you on ignore because they don’t like you.

You only don’t like me as you can see a side of me that I normally wouldn’t show you or anything if I felt I had a shred less privacy, trust me I would keep a much lower profile if account wide ignore became a thing, I would literally go into threads and only look at comments that were popular, and would avoid saying controversial things

@Lilithia-nagrand

it just feels safe due to the extra level of anonymity available

Did you know even adding BattleTags will still have the same level as anonymity as as the character-server has.

Not if I have a real life friend that knows my btag.

I have a real life friend that knows my BTag, I have a real life friend that knows all my characters too. Still the same level of anonymity.

[Hwanwok-ysera (Hwanwok)]

You say this Proposed system (account wide ignore) will be a “abused”.

I’m asking you to look at other forums with this said proposed system (i.e MMO-Champion, Other blizzard forums, Steam discussions tab etc) to look for this feature being unintentionally used.

This has nothing to do with WoW, this has to do with the forums.

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

WoW is what brings the divisive element.

You can’t just cut it out because you think universal solutions have worked before.

@Lilithia-nagrand

easy to be an angel when you are living in paradise

No matter what your situation is, you always have a choice. Sometimes that choice is tough and hard, but it’s still a choice.

Life hasn’t been easy for us. I’m disabled and can’t work, my mom works her butt off to make up for this and we still struggle to pay our bills.

We just had to leave our house because we couldn’t keep up with the payments after my grandma died. I struggle with mental illness that makes like extremely difficult for me.

But I have never taken advantage of someone or manipulated them. I could have and it would have made life easier, but I haven’t, because I chose not to.

It sounds like you’ve had a hard life and I’m sorry for that, but making excuses will only hurt you more in the long run.

And the WoW forums is certainly not the place to talk about such things. You need a therapist, not a thread about account wide ignores.

@Jaesears-dalaran

I’m sorry, I don’t know how to word myself sensitively on this issue, I’m sad you had to leave your house…

All I can say is that because of my actions, selfish as some may have seen them, I got stable housing and what’s more important than that?

[Hwanwok-ysera (Hwanwok)]

Again, WoW is irrelevant to this conversation, every video game forum can have a divisive element.

I’m asking you again, How can this system be “misused” or “abused”, when other forums that have existed with this system?

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

@Hwanwok-ysera

Again, WoW is irrelevant to this conversation

I disagree, as this is the WoW forums we’re talking about here.

[Hwanwok-ysera (Hwanwok)]

So your not going the answer the question? ok.

People have the right to ignore for any reason or no reason at all. there is no misuse of ignore here.

@Lilithia-nagrand

Unfortunately in the past, yes, like one example of this was when I was stuck living with an ex, do you really think a new potential partner would have become close to me if I had been totally upfront about my situation, no I don’t think so, I had to get out of that situation and that was it, the plan worked perfectly. I told them the truth though once I felt their feelings for me had grown strong enough not to ditch me once they knew the full truth. The relationship didn’t last more than a year though, but they served their purpose.

…so you lied by omission to someone and used them. And that person was just an object who “served their purpose”?

Good lord. Please…Lilithia…I’m honestly begging you, for your own sake, stop sharing these things on here. You are not helping yourself.

[Calistrian-garrosh]

No, he’s not. He’s already said before that he’s just here to argue against, no matter what the argument. It doesn’t have to make sense, as long as it’s against.

[Jaesears-dalaran]

@Díana-argent-dawn

You are not helping yourself.

Now I understand why she doesn’t want people to know her battletag, because she chronically overshares these things but then gets upset when people judge her for them…

[Ardmccloud-frostmourne]

Nothings been disproven.

I just don’t agree with your perspective on it.
