Many or almost all of you have ran into the same problem in Guild Wars: so many jerks, not enough space to hold them all. Just today for instance I had to remove an old jerk from my ignore list to make room for a new one. I figured, "this guy has been on here so long he doesn't remember me, so I should be safe". Lo and behold 3 minutes after I remove him he starts PMing me with the line "I have cmoe to steel your pickel". Don't ask me what he's talking about, he's probably 12, bought his account with a rank 10, and has no idea what he's doing.
Back to the manner at hand. I wish to start at petition in the hopes that Gaile or another A.net admin will see this and percieve the problem as we see it. If there is already a petition for this on Guru, I apologize to the admins but I could not find it in search.
Personally I think there shouldn't be a size for the ignore list, or at least it should have one slot for every player in GW, but that's unrealistic. Increasing the list by 20-90 should be sufficient. If you are for the idea, /signed is appropriate, if not, no post is necessary.

Do what I do, place them on Ignore, then remove them after five minutes, If they still PM you, then you know for a fact they are Dark Basement Masterbators With no lives.
Or you could try and be nicer to people. That also always works.

This was talked about before but you shoud try switching who you ignore. Or if a person on the friends list hasn't even talked to you in forever, you can take him off to fix it.

Maybe someday Anet will realise that people want to ignore more than 10 people among the 1000s who play...

I don't atm have a problem with my ignore list... BUT many times I have to choose between putting an idiot on the list or scammers... both are in abundance but which one hurts me more.... In a way its equal in my head so I think upping the ignore list would help me to be able to better ignore scammers and idiots and that would make me happy XD

I hate ppl who just pm you to annoy the shit out of you. You should be able to fit an equal amount of ppl on ignore list as you would with your friends list. There's a ton of griefers who lose in pvp and do nothing but pm you on how you suck/cheated etc. To those ppl i say cry more please. Same applies to other queers who can't stand the fact you won't buy/sell an item for a certain amount of money and spam you trying to force you to give in.
At least double the size of the ignore list. Doesn't need to be 100 ppl limit or w/e (20 person limit sounds fine imo) To the ppl who say, 'oh you could just delete them from the list' oh um gee I didn't think of that
Some ppl just have no life and decide to just keep on annoying you. BTW Anet Devs You might want to fix a strange bug I have been experiencing lately. Individuals who are on my ignore list have somehow found a way to pm me even though I'm ignoring them on the very same account. I say this here since i haven't gotten a response in the 2 weeks since reporting this bug.

I personally have a rather memerable name, so I would expect many morons to rember it and bug me. However, most people I have put on my ignore list have not bugged me a week afterwards when I remove their name from my list.
I guess I'm just lucky, or people on Euro servers actually have lives, and so don't bother with dumb stuff like whispering a guy who got them mad a week ago.
But, the main reason I clear out people after a week, is because I know the list has a limit. So even though it doesn't do anything for me;

I know it can be near zero to the server to handle 10 - 20 - 30 - 100 people on 1 person ignore list...but we gotta mutiply it by 2 000 000.
AND even if it still was near nothing, its still useless server space that could ve been put to a better use.
The ignore list is just fine the way it is, so please, do not fix what is not broken, at least not until we fixed all the other important things.

Just take the old guys off your list. If you're ignoring more than 10 people at once... maybe the problem isn't with them. If you have people that have been ignored for more than a week, unignore them. Chances are they've forgotten about you.

I could use at least 10 more slots. I run a fairly big guild and I keep major offenders that I've kicked out of the guild on there. I want to make sure they stay ignored so they don't ask to come back in like a lot of them do. I also have a really easy IGN so people remember it and recognize it and "reharrass me".

Server space is the *only* reasonable defense for not increasing the size of the ignore list.
What other reason is there for ever having to remove anyone from you ignore list? Players should be able to put anyone on their ignore list, for any reason, and for any length of time. Whether you're a jerk or a saint is irrelevant.
The fix I prefer is the ability to block everyone that isn't on your friends list.

Anyway, I'm gonna point out now that spammers are typically very persistent, and are also immature and can hold grudges for a long time. It IS NOT inconceivable (or even close) that they could just get 10 spammer buddies so one of them would be able to get through (YES, this happens). If they really don't like you, they might put you on their friends list and occasionally test to see if you are once again vulnerable to them (AGAIN, this DOES happen).
I believe that ANet needs to increase the size of the ignore list. Oh, and while we're on the topic, they ought to vastly increase the size of the friends list, mine is constantly overflowing, with active people and/or very close (for having never met each other in person, at least) friends who I am loathe to remove.

I argue that my idea does promote social interaction - *healthy* social interaction.
Consider this: as it is right now, you don't have to do any work to talk to people. Just pick a random name in town and spam away. If, on the other hand, you had to earn a place on their friend's list before you could message them, it would encourage you to actually play with people and be civil. And again, I'm saying that Anet should give us the *option*. If you're fine with allowing anyone to message you, that's great. But for those of us that have lost all faith in the GW community and would rather not deal with all of the mindless bull****, it'd be nice to have a catch-all solution.
Think about it another way: you don't hand out your phone number to random people, and we all get angry when we get unsolicited phone calls from strangers. Companies have implemented features like Caller ID specifically to screen calls. Why, then, should in-game messaging be any different?

Secondly, if people could not talk to you, how would anyone get on your friends list in the first place? Most likely, they wouldn't. The only people who could get onto it are people you know from somewhere else. Even if, as I certainly hope you were intending, you could talk freely in team chat, how would you get a team together in the first place? Even if you have many friends already, and used that option, ANet will not do anything that forms a barrier against making new friends, especially not something which could allow a person starting in the game to ignore everyone at all times.
If you have indeed 'lost all faith in the GW community', which is not entirely believable, since you're here, then there is really only one solution. Stop playing.
I know it's harsh, but if you don't want to deal with idiots in an online game, the only solution is not to play said online game. Go play a single-player game if you don't want to deal with idiots. Wherever thare are people, there will be idiots.
Think about that. I leave you with a quote, for now...
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." -Douglas Adams
Rera
As I said, it would be an *option*, for those (like me) that wanted to exercise it.
You'd get a team in the first place by turning the option off, obviously. Or, you could have the option apply only to PMs, because there's an easier way to block people spamming local: toggle the channel off.
That reminds me of another point. See, the funny thing about having such a limited ignore list is that I'm forced to play with all channels except 'Team' turned off. I can't turn local chat on because of all the people I would want to block but can't, because my ignore list was full from day 1. In theory it might have seemed counter-intuitive that a *smaller* ignore list would actually lead to *less* interaction, but that is what's actually happening.
I play GW with my friends and guildmates, so there's no reason for me to quit. Certainly as you say, where there are people, there are idiots, but a well-designed game will allow you to control your interaction with said idiots without severly impacting your ability to play the game. GW is almost there, actually. The availability of henchmen means that you never have to actually *play* with idiots in PvE if you don't want to, and in PvP you can punish idiots by killing them (which is true in any competitive game, certainly). The only thing that's missing, then, is a way to prevent idiots from talking to us.

I've played over a year, and I don't think I've ever had anyone say anything bad to me unless I provoked it. And even then, my ignore list is empty because no one is that persistant.
Personally I think the OP needs to learn to be a decent human being and not a jerk. Even if there are 2 or 3 persistant people then you still have room for them, not really that big of a deal. If you really want you can go Offline or Do Not Disturb and still talk in guild chat... if you have a guild.
