Welcome to an online game? No one is obligated to hold your hand either
Remember kids. You are what you talk.
If you textually and verbally abuse people, it makes you an abusive person.
If you trash talk all the time, what does that make you?

people won’t be able to ignore toxic people and that makes me sad - the thread

Who asked for that? People are simply asking for the option to ignore someone. Spew your verbal vomit all you want, no one is obligated to listen to it though.

You also assume that trash talk can’t be controlled and disciplined, that people can’t be in their right mind and speak aggressively.
Talk is cheap. Don’t ACTIONS speak louder than words?
It seems like we’re going around in circles at this point, acting self-righteous about ourselves and glad “I’m not that guy and I’m glad his behavior won’t be welcomed.”
You have to remember why MMO’s as a genre have failed until WoW came along. Paid subscription models have not been successful and the move to F2P and then to shutdown happens. A huge part of it was the social aspect, how people dealt with each other or should I say how they were FORCED to deal with each other.
You don’t use apostrophes to pluralize things, not even acronyms.
There is no excuse for abusive people like you to not face the consequences you deserve to face for your actions.
If you have a harder time getting groups because you are on ignore lists, you deserve it and it sucks to be you.
Maybe you should seek if your behavior starts affecting your play.

So then it shouldn’t be that much of problem should it? I mean unless the person puts you on ignore then you two can continue to trash talk. But if someone doesn’t want to they do what people do in real life, walk away. Putting you on ignore is the same thing as just walking away. No one needs to hear your garbage your not entitled to anyone’s time. If they want to trash talk you back they can if they don’t they won’t.
Easy peachy

Ignore now effect account thumbs up. Great feature till you realize that jerk in rando turned out to be your gm. Now your gm keeps you for ignore him. Buggs Bunny voice here: Rabbit season. Daffy Duck: Duck season. This comes to mind the fail out of this interesting and need aspect. I still preferred resources to fixing AI.
Complains about people becoming crybabies.
Is a a giant crybaby.
The lack of self awareness is fantastic.

If it’s your guild leader is a jerk to you in lfd, maybe it’s time to find a new guild that isn’t toxic.

It’s everywhere and it’s everybody. I at least tried to be honest about me, as if I’m supposed to lie about it.
No, it’s not everywhere and it’s not everybody.
Normal people don’t go out of their way to be abusive and malicious to complete strangers just because. Normal people have this thing called empathy and basic human decency.
If you lack those then you need some help.

I always found it incredibly annoying when someone would try to join a group I had started, not come, and continue being able to apply after I had blocked them.
I get the feeling theres a really interesting story behind the idea of this thread. Also no, no one is obligated to listen to you talk smack to them.

16 years of WoW, brought to you by Adamantine Backbones: the suck-it-up super spine.
See this is a great example of both toxic masculinity and abusive behavior.
Good thing times are a changing and people like you are losing via the account wide ignores.
You lose.
Love wins.
Also, speaking of crap talk. Do you even play this game? 94 ilevel? No mythic dungeons cleared at all, no boss kills this expansion not even LFR, no arena rating or RBG rating, only 110 or something pvp level?
TLC wrote a song about you.

I think it functions the same way as friending someone. Go to ignore and type name-server.

Nope, I’m very happy that Blizz is making an effort to crack down on the toxicity that’s run rampant throughout this game for far too long. The one thing I envied about FFXIV is their emphasis on community moderation and I’m glad we’re getting at least a small taste of that here.
I genuinely wonder how many subscribers WoW has lost over the years because one too many people raged at them in a dungeon and got kicked. I would bet good gold that it was a fair portion.
I’m not a trash talker, and I hate trash talk. I’ve always wished we could just respect one another. Even when I kill someone in PvP or beat them in a pet battle I just want to say “gg”. So it goes without saying that I hope for the same level of civility from my opponents when they beat me.
Call me soft, call me sensitive or whatever. I gladly own those labels. I’m not a hard person in the least. But I’m glad that I will finally have some recourse when folks decide they want to be nasty toward their fellow players.

I don’t know or see anyone from Anvilmar, so it’s hard for me to get upset about someone ignoring me from there. Try Stormrage, Sargeras, Malygos, etc. because those are the people I get the most often.
But that has to cut both ways. You can’t have both the ignored and the ignorer sides guilty of causing toxic offenses. If FFXIV is anywhere near peaceful, they know how to make for peace on BOTH sides. In other words, no partiality or respecter of persons.
When I was going thru my QQ phases in Vanilla, I’ve had people tell me that quitting WoW is the fool’s choice because in terms of MMO’s, this is the best it gets. I’ve had people tell me that when it comes to older MMO’s that are actually punishing, you don’t get a right to complain about how hard WoW is until you see what the meaning of real hard is in the likes of EverQuest or Ultima. I was new to MMORPG, but nobody went easy on me because I was a newb. People expected me to pick up or find something else. I almost QQ’ed permanently, too, until I had an opportunity for a core raiding guild invite(because I was hardstuck in Scholo and Strat).
That means that people are going to be bitter about wiping on bosses. That means people are going to be bitter when groups fall apart. I was a warlock then so my CC and damage was subpar for the 5-man content. I’m just saying: I had to find the BALLS to actually make it work. Now if I HAD TO DO IT, I’m not going to necessarily be sensitive to those unwilling to do the same.
I would have no problems with that. And when I frag someone, I don’t do the stupid celebratory stuff. I move on to the next frag.
This is why I have an open mind, but I’m no fool. In fact, people who are going to be jerks will be bigger jerks. Jerkdom, uhhh, finds a way. So there’s only two ways to deal with that, and in both of them, I hope they lose.
So it’s okay when you do it, but it’s not okay when I do it? And why do we wonder how the toxicity tends to fester? It’s only logical that when people are toxic, you have to out-toxify them. But I’m not going to do that to you here though, mainly because you need to do something intolerable to me first.

The only thing it proves was that I took the time to read the official patch notes. I knew about the enhanced reporting process feature(the one that advises you not to escalate misconduct), but no one that I was aware of talked about the acct-wide ignoring swoop.
Not seeing the problem with the ignore feature being acc wide? If you didn’t want to talk to someone on their main, why the frick would you want to talk to them on their alt?
