If a person puts someone on ignore their trade chat spam should also not be seen. I can block / report / ignore you until the cows come home but when I log in again all of my ignore stuff has 0 benefit as I still see the same accounts spamming in General & Trade Chat.
Please provide some sort of fix for this as it’s clogging up real crafting orders with all this nonsense. It’s WAY out of hand and reporting the same accounts over and over does nothing and neither does putting them on ignore.
Reporting someone only ignores them until the next time you log in. If you want to block them, you need to add them to your block list. Then you won’t ever see them again.
How do you add to a block list?
From the chat window, left click their name and hit ‘ignore’.
The long method is this:
Hit O to open your social/friends window, then hit the ignore tab. Hit button labeled ‘ignore player’ and it will ask you to either type in their name or shift click their name from the chat window. It’s a bit clunky but it works. You can also open that tab to verify that someone has been added to your ignore list successfully.
There is also the fact that Ignore only works on the character your ignored them on. Unless you use something like the Global Ignore add on, you have to ignore a character on every one of your alts. Its an unfortunate system, since if I want to ignore a player, I want to ignore all of their account all the time, not just on one of my toons. There should be an Ignore option that works at the bnet level, to ignore all characters made on a particular bnet account on all of your account characters.
