Ok, got a BIG Question!!
I have had a ‘friend’ for a while, but things have come to a screeching halt with that friendship recently. I want to play but every time I get on he is messaging and pestering me, so I need to disappear from him.
I do NOT want to go ‘offline’ for everyone.
We are not in a guild together so he would not see me there…
Any suggestions?
Right click and put him on ignore hell never be able to message u tilll u take him off ignore.
If you are real id or battle tag friends, you should be able to remove them from your list, which should remove you from their list, but if you are on their in game character friends list this will not work. Have you simply tried suggesting that you do not have time for them?
Yes I have and they don’t care … how would I know if we are ‘real id’ or not?
When I click his name and ‘view friends’ I don’t see any of my toons listed.
also appeared we have no mutual friends
They only show up on his friends list. Unless there harassing and swearing at you ignore is ur. Best option it ignores them 100% unless they account hop.
how do I know if I can change my Battlenet tag?
I was thinking unfriend, change ID and move on so he cant re-add me
Thats a bit extreme just put them on ignore problem solved.
Adding someone via Battle Tag requires an okay from the person being added. So if you remove them from your Battle Tag then they cannot readd you unless you okay it.
HOWEVER, they can still add you via in-game character friends list and you would never know it.
As has already been mentioned, add their character to your in game /ignore list to never hear from them again.
not sure it would work, he has 6 Accounts with MULTIPLE toons
U just need to ignore 1 toon from each account not every toon.
You will need to do this with every character you play, though.
If I add to Ignore… they cant see me on … add me or message me ?? so its basically being on invisible to them and not the whole world ??
They can still see you if they have added you via the in-game character list OR if they happen upon your character in game. However, they would be unable to message you.
Dont respond just put them on ignore if they continue to bypass the ignore function open a ongoing harrassment ticket.
Just block him in game, if your ‘friends’ on social media remove him from friends lists and go on about your life.
If he bypasses the block in game just report for ongoing harrassment. DO NOT engage, otherwise its a conversation. Just dont respond and report.
It really doesn’t matter if they can see you. So long as you absolutely don’t respond to them, just ignore them each time they crop up. If they’re really persistent about it? Keep a record of each day and time they message you, and the character’s name. If they’re circumventing the ignore, that is a big no-no and they will go after people for that. It just doesn’t work if you talk to them, even to tell them to leave you alone. Don’t say anything. Ignore them. Right-click and report them if the language gets bad. Heck, if they whisper you, report them for a chat infraction, and use the text box to explain it’s ongoing harassment so that it logs it for you in-game.
WTH i went to disable my Real ID (done)
get a new battle net ID …
they are charging for this, which is BS, a customer gets harassed and you wanna charge them?
heck you cant even call them any more…
WHAT GIVES!!!
getting to the point that if you don’t have money to line their pockets they could care less about you
Take a breath, and please remember it’s not Blizzards fault you and your friend had a falling out. Blizzard has put a lot of things in place to help, but they are also a business so it’s only natural that there are services that require payment.
The first time you change your BattleTag is free.
thats what I thought too but apparently not… I have NEVER changed and now it wants $10
