Choose who you want to get whispers from

One thing I'm starting to get annoyed with is whispers from random people with negative/unwelcome things to say. My idea would be to set a friends status so you only accept whispers from guildies and people on your friends list. That way you don't have to set yourself offline just to get rid of the negative whispers when a whisper from a guildie or friend is trying to come through at the same time. This is probably the one thing that Runescape ( ) did right and I would like to see this in GW too.

Yes, I've thought about the same thing, and this can make a gwg moderators life for example a little easier.

Makes sense to me. Heck, you could even have several options:
Accept whispers only from friends and guild mates
Accept whispers from friends, guild mates, and alliance members
Accept all whispers
Accept whispers only from friends and guild mates
Accept whispers from friends, guild mates, and alliance members
Accept all whispers

There is only ~15 spots on the ignore list.

And no, not with the ignore list or the tell system.

I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be allowed to restrict messages to friends only.
The problem with the ignore list is that you have to manually add/remove people, and you can't keep people on the list if you need to add others. 99.9% of the time, I am not at all interested in talking to people who aren't on my friends list, so it would be easier for me if people just couldn't message me at all in the first place.

Think about this: A guild is recruiting in HA id1 because that's where most people are. (or LA or something if it's a PvE guild). Someone is interested in joining and wants to PM the guy, but he can't because Anet implemented a system where you can only receive whispers from certain people. He tries to spam "I WANT TO JOIN" in all chat, but the officer doesn't see it because HA/LA id1 is so busy.
Someone wants to sell his newly farmed <random green weapon>. He goes to LA and spams 'WTS <random green weapon> 10K PST' but noone CAN pst him, because Anet implemented a system where you can only receive PM's from certain people.
I don't mind if they implement this feature, as long as you have the option to receive whispers from everyone. I'm never bothered with random whispers from people, so I don't need such a system.

I think that in the 1,777 hours played on my account, I've recieved below 20 pm's I could do without.
I fail to see why this should be implemented. As others have said, if people are bothering you, put them on the ignore list. If you have more than 15 people bothering you at the same time, there's something wrong.
Therefore:
/NOTsigned with a vengeance.

Smart! Really, I mean, it's a wonderful way to simply seclude yourself from absolutely everyone in game. Someone have something nice to say to you? Too bad! You're ignoring the world!
-.-
Signed. I hate getting whispers from people that I wish I could ignore but can't because my ignore list is damn full.

You can always not respond to negative messages, and the other person will assume you're not disturbed or you didn't hear it. There is also setting your status to "offline" after the first message.
-.-
Do not Disturb leaves a reply to the messenger that you are on 'Do Not Disturb' mode and if you don't respond, they will sometimes spam you until you do respond with a 'RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO you' or something of that nature.
'Offline' status makes you unable to continue a discussion with a friend or someone that wants to buy your item that you are advertising.

i am however for signing an increase in the size of the ignore list.
10 is a bit small if you're like me and like to put scammers on ignore, so you dont one day accidentally deal with them under an alternate name; or if people pm you out of the blue.
overall, a blanket blocking of pms is a bad idea, but adding more slots to ignore can cause no downsides.

I don't know what you all need more than 10 ignore slots for. I mean, scammers? Just be aware of the trade you make. People who insult me, well, I just tell them to grow up and talk to them in a way they got nothing else to say without insulting or cussing, it works. If that doesn't help, one day on the ignore list is enough for most people.
Smile Like Umean It
I don't know why everyone keeps saying if you have 15 it's too much. Who says that all 15 are from people whispering you at that moment? I meet a lot of the same people who like to do the same thing as I do. Some make it to my friends list, some go to ignore. I don't want to have to put up with them constantly spamming racist remarks, foul language and other unpleasant things. (Yes, I have reported them and them seem to always come back, hence the ignore list) Not to mention some people like to pug or it's the only way they can get pass something and next to pvp, pugging is the easiest way to find the bad seeds.
Telling them to "shut the hell up" is not only fueling them, it's dropping you to their level.
You said it yourself, it's a game. So, how exactly is telling them to shut up going to actually help? It's a game, they don't have to listen to you.
Also, I could care less about the a-holes in-game. They don't bother me, so I don't even put people on my ignore list, but that isn't true for all people.

for one, when dealing with scammers, AT BEST you waste your time dealing with them. and i dont know about you, but i'd rather not waste my time with the same moron 50 times just because he changes character names once a week or even day.
while most scams are no brainers to figure out, some are far more difficult.
the point is, 10, is not a lot. and it wouldnt hurt anet to increase it.
Thomas.knbk
Another example: Today I joined a new guild. I got in contact with them by posting an application on their forum. I didn't know the IGN's of any of their officers. Shortly after I posted the app I got a PM of one of their officers. If this system was implemented I wouldn't have been in that guild now.
Like I said, it's fine by me, as long as you have the option to not use it.

"Flist only" would obviously be an option. It would make absolutely no sense to make it mandatory.
Again, those of you who are saying, "just deal with it" or "don't reply", etc. are missing the point. Explain to me why I should have to deal with it. Unless I was trading or forming a group, I have never once received a PM from a stranger that I actually wanted. It doesn't matter if it's a compliment, a flame, or a question, I'd rather just not receive PMs from random people.
IM programs have "block all users not on my buddy list". If it makes sense there, why wouldn't it make sense in GW?
