Increase Ignore Limit

Increase the ignore limit or make it infinite.

Its the best way to handle spammers and abusive wisping. If they realise that we can ignore an unlimited number of people, then they might learn.

Plus it would just help, instead of having to remove others from the ignore list to add someone else.



I suggest this because last week I had an individual spam me with "noob" continually for 10 minutes. All I had done, was to wisper this individual saying that the weapon he was spamming the chat channel to buy wasnt very good in my opinion.

Had he then asked why, I was going to give some advice. Whether that advice was good or bad, make no difference. I was going to offer information which I felt would help him.

But he started spamming me with "noob" after I wispered him just the once.

I messaged him twice during the spamming of "noob", to ask why he was doing that and to ask him to stop. He continued. Now im hardly upset or bothered about it and just waited for the idiot to finally stop.

But its unnacceptable and when I went to add him to my ignore list I had to remove someone else. Something which isnt hard to do, but its something I dont want to do.

So I came to the conclusion we need to increase the limit.

As for the other people who have taken up the ignore space. They are either spammers who I added when I first started my character or they harrassed me in some way which I cant remember.



Since no one bothered to ask: I filled my ingore list over a 2 year period. Not a few weeks or months. So dont suggest ive filled it up over a short period of time.



Increasing the ignore limit will not harm anyone or effect the gameplay in the slightest. The only effect is will have is a good one. You cant say that its unjustified just because you personally have never experienced abuse, because there are bound to be several 1000 people who have. Whether it be severe or miner.

And no I have never provoked any trouble ingame. I speak to all persons with respect and dignity. If you choose not to believe that, then fine, thats your choice.

But if your one of those who feel ignorant enough to suggest that all abuse is provoked and deserved, you need to grow up and look at the real world.

If a bloke was to be attacked outside a pub on a friday night along with his ex-g/f, by a 6 large gang, would you then say to him "ok, what did you do to provoke it"? I would very much hope not. (personal experience)

People do abuse and attack others without provication. If your unaware of that, then you need to get away from your computers and experience how bad the world can be.

If your one of those people who would actually do the abusing or attacking, or you would get some sick pleasure out of knowing about it, then your a sad individual and you need to grow up.


And I dont feel the "just turn off the chat window" is an option, because you may need to use it. So why should we be stopped using it by spammers?

And if I place someone on the ignore list, I dont want to have to remove them a day later or a week later if I run out of space. I put them there for a reason.

And its not always a case of just ignoring abuse. Young children play this game and some individuals are extremely vulnerable to abuse. They can take it personally and to heart.

I have played with and known players ingame who are very emotionally unstable and can easily get upset at very little things. Its these people we need to protect. Its these people who need this more then anyone.

How did you end up with a full ignore list? You must be pissed of real easily :/

I'm not sure what sense it makes to ignore spammers. If you don't like it, uncheck all chat. It's way easier then putting everyone on ignore.

I have to ask how someone list gets filled up as well.
My ignore list is usually zero. I think once it had one person, because someone I didn't know suddenly decided to keep sending whispers to me asking me really obscene and bizarre questions.

/signed

I use ignore to filter out the hijacking 55 monks that plague ToA. If they're on my ignore list, they don't get on my teams. And it does fill up very fast.

I only have one person on my ignore list - he has been on that list since i took my first character through the fort ranik(?) mission almost a year ago (whichever one has the trebuchet).
He killed me with the catapult. (i didnt know any better, lol, seems funny now.)
His name - Kurt The Quick



O.o

LOL


Hiya Kurt The Behemoth! . . . . .. . .

I have nobody on my ignore list

/notsigned for the billionth time.

Just take some people off. There is no reason to keep some of those people on there. Chances are, they've forgotten about you. So just... take them off. It's called upkeep.

/signed It's way too short.

/signed

make it longer pls!!!

LOL! I remember this arrogant ass warrior who was level 18 and "helping" me out on that mission, insisted he run down and kill all the char instead of me just using the catapault, and the guy had really been on my nerves the whole time...

So he and his two little suck-up puppies ran down to fight the char, while I stood by the catapault... and then I got the idea to kill them all.

I have never laughed so hard playing this game then to see all three of them die and start Q_Q'ing at me. Ahhh... good times. I finished the mission solo anyways after they rage quited.

Yes, you have to chat with people who you do not already know non-stop in order for this game to be fun and it is nearly impossible for you to ignore their messages that they are posting. And these ignorant children always write your screen name down on there "Female Dog List" and as soon as you take them off of your ignore list a couple hours later they message you cruel posts. But I have learned not to chat with people I don't know well on Guild Wars and I have not ignored anyone in 2 months. Amazing huh?

/signed
Becuase there is no argument against it.

/signed

many noob go any away.always kidding .

ps. ignoreing need 1000k player

/signed

Need a way to stop scammer.

Isn't the ignore list only something like 15 names? I don't remember, but I had to clear a bunch of people from it today too add in some annoying people offering me half of what I was asking for an item I was selling. They continued spamming me after I declined them.

/signed

I rarely have problems with people harassing me. If it might be that I can't shut him/her up, I put him/her on the ignore list, let him/her be there for a day, and then I take him/her off of it. I never had any whispers afterwards. And please note that the "shut up" part is done in a polite and intelligent way. I talk to them and ask things where they have got nothing to say about it. I just "pwn" them.
/notsigned

/signed

I clear out my ignore list whenever it gets full, but a single session with Gaile Grey (before someone started silencing the spamming idiots) was usually enough to get my ignore list full, between people spamming and people refusing to actually read what she was saying. Anyone who spammed "Conga" got ignored too.

If it's something that is stored on our computer and not the servers, then I can see that making it infinite would be okay.

/signed
at least add 10 or 15 more slots.

Personally I would turn off local chat. Most of the people you will have to deal with are also candidates for the ignore list. Potential sellers, buyers, even if you're trying to look for a group, adding more people to your ignore list increases the chances of that happening.

Not going to happen, all account information is stored online. If this information were to be stored offline (which would in turn only activate if you were on that particular computer), then that could give hackers a better oppourtunity to get into your account.

Go PvP dude. No people spamming WTS LLEET STORMBWO OV FORDIUDE 100k+!23872847ect0!! there.

And still, in my PvE time I think I had 1 person on my ignore, but that's because he kept begging for me to help him. There must be something you do differently than other people that provokes them to piss you off...

Nope. I just seem to come accross all the prats in the game.

But if I choose to block someone, I dont want to unblock them later on to make room for someone else. My idea of blocking a person is perminant.

It should be a case of ignoring them and not having to think about it again.

yeah, the IWAY RANK6+ spam is much better
I just delete people from my ignore list after a week or so. never hear of em again. and you don't have to think about them again, since you'll be forgetting them, too.

/signed * 10000

/notsigned

What is the point in ignoring people spamming for selling or buying when you can just turn the chat off? Thats just a stupid thing to do.

If you ignore someone for PM'ing offensive messages, you can just unblock them after 3 days and they and you will forget all about it.

I've never had a full ignore list, so I dont see the point in increasing the limit.

My god at most I have to ignore 1 person during the week. Just keep your mouth shut in towns and don't act like an immature brat and maybe you won't have ppl pming you... That or you just spend a little too much time in towns for your own good.

This idea is stupid. Plus if they increase the Ignore list it would just try to show how bad the game community is and that's not good...

/notsignedddddd

Its amazing how its always the fault of the individual when they get harrassed or abused or attacked.

It reminds me of when people suggested it was my fault that a gang jumped on me and my ex-g/f outside our local pub months ago. They suggested I had provoked them into attacking us and I must have said something.

Provoked a gang of 6 people, to attacked myself and my drunk ex-g/f?

God forbid they might have just been malicious and evil and felt like attacking two people who had no chance of defending themselves.

That really angers me when people suggest that its your fault if you get attacked or you take abuse from someone.

And it angers me even more when people suggest you just hang-your head and ignore it.

Making a comment such as, "dont act like an immature brat" is just crass and ignorant and it suggest I provoke these issues Ive had in the game.

I HAVE NEVER ONCE SPOKEN TO ANYONE IMPOLITELY INSIDE THE GAME.

I msged someone in elona who was advertising for a certain weapon and all I said was that I wouldnt buy that weapon. I got "noob" spammed back to me in a wisp for about 10 minutes.

Explain to me how that is ME acting immature or me provoking them?

Whether people realise this or not, the point of cities and towns is to communicate with others. We CANT always just turn off the chat window and we SHOULDNT have to.

Thats like suggesting we NEVER talk to anyone ever in the game, incase we get abuse from them. Its an unreasonable suggestion. We need to communicate and we need to use the chat window.

Ive tried to have countless conversations in towns amoungst a large number of people and its been impossible due to spamming!

Does that mean I should NEVER have conversations in towns and cities using the chat window? Hardly.

If we had an infinite or much large ignore limit, then we could ignore all these people.

Turning off the chat window is not an option, because people need to use it. We shouldnt have to resort to not talking to others to avoid spamming. Thats no better then allowing the spammers and abusers to get away with spamming and ruining the communication for everyone else.

And again, I DONY SAY IMMATURE THINGS TO PEOPLE. I generally try to have nice mature conversations or I offer advice. I shouldnt have to be subjected to abuse or harrassmet as a result of it.

Its Anets job to provide a way to protect us from such things and increasing the ignore limit will do that.

And I shouldnt have to remove someone, who Ive felt is abusive, from my ignore list at a later date because Ive ran out.

They are on the list for a reason and it reasures me to know their on there. Am I not allowed to feel secure in the game?

Sorry if that got rather personal, but I felt it would get the point accross a bit more.

That's silly. After you ignore someone for 10 minutes you can easily unignore them. I seldom meet the same people again, and honestly, people you blocked a month ago aren't going to remember you and still be trying to harass you now. Quit being a turd and take people off your ignore list once they've gone stale. Quit whining for anet to make you have a longer ignore list for you to complain about when that fills since infinite is impossible. Besides, you can turn off public and trade chat. If you are really such a hateful person that you believe that so many people (apparently much more than 15 you've managed to find, which is beyond me) then write their names on paper or reconsider yourself. You seem like more of a jerk than anything, just ready to flame someone.

Honestly, I'm sure everyone here plays within the Guild Wars world, and I don't think anyone is buying one piece of crap that's coming out of your mouth, freekedoutfish. We've all played in the game and know there are idiots out there, but all the idiots aren't attracting to one person so quickly that they can fill up a 15 man ignore list and still be afraid that those guys on there will still try to contact and annoy them. Get real, what do you take us all for, idiots? Honestly, you're the person responsible for having such a huge ignore list, anyone who's played guild wars can see that pretty clearly.

/signed
Ugh. Your post must be at least 12 characters long.

Did you even read what I post before this and added to my OP?

If your just going to enter the thread and do nothing but try to blame me for others giving me abuse in the game, then dont bother posting.

As I said to the other poster Im not going to accept that and it really angers me when people suggest you get attacked ONLY if you provoke them.

Get away from your computer and go check what the real world is like.

People do actually attack others for no reason. Its not unreasonable to ask for an improved system to protect us from such people.

And since no has actually even bothered to ask me;

I filled that 15 limit up over a 2 year period!!

So get your facts straight before you go assuming Im provoking everyone I speak to. Thats a long time to fill the limit up.

I wouldn't give a duck about what other people buy or don't. And if (s)he spammed something like that to me, I would just laugh, put the person on the ignore list, get him/her off of it the next day. Again, I wouldn't give a duck. I'd just laugh.

You don't have to read what everybody's talking about in chat. Has it ever been like that in any online chat?

Well, if you find people to be abusive and spamming, you can report them.

Well, it's that abusive and immature and rude children's parents job to watch what they are playing/doing and teach some respect to their children.

It's not like anyone is gonna come down and spam Searing Flames. Why do you get upset about these little kids? They are just pathetic. When I see someone being rude or cursing ingame, I just laugh my ass off. I don't know about you, but I would never feel cautious or be afraid about something that some 10 year old says.

I didn't want to react on the fight thing and all, because I've been through something like that myself three times. But I'd just be happy to know for myself what I did or didn't do. Who cares what those people think, it happened to you, they weren't there, they just talk crap.

Good luck, but still a /notsigned for me, because I think people saying "Noob!" in an online game are not such a threat to me and are just soomething to laugh about.

Believe me, im not loosing sleep over these idiots in GWs.

I just really dont see why everyone is against this idea of increasing the ignore limit. Its not going to do any harm. It can only help if anything.

But yes you can just remove someone the next day. But we should have a choice to keep them on or remove them.

At the current limit, we dont really have that choice because in a 2 year span it can become full.

Whether or not the people here have experienced less abuse then me, has no baring on this. Because there are bound to be 10000s of other players who do take regular abuse or have done over a short or long amount of time.

What harm would it honestly do to increase the limit or make it infinate?

None. At all!!!

Surely its a good thing to very simply increase it to 30 or 50 or even 100 at the least.


Btw, the pub/fight thing. I shouldnt have posted about that. Its not got any baring on the subject really. I apologise for mentioning it. I think I just got caught up in the moment. It just really annoys me when people make stupid comments suggesting people provoke attacks.

What harm would it do to leave the ignore limit as it is? What harm would it do to take people off your ignore list after a while?

NONE AT ALL.

Also, if someone is trying to sell an item, they dont want people pm'ing them saying 'I dont want to buy that item'. OMG like WHY would anyone even bother to PM a person thats selling something and say I dont want to buy that? If someone did that to me i'd be pissed off as well and would tell them to not bother pm'ing BS.

And yes it was your fault that person called you a noob, you provoked it 100%. When people spam you have you ever thought of changing your status to offline for a minute or 2 instead of using the ignore list? Its much quicker and just as effective.

It is not good to go and ignore every spammer/offender in the game, its better to take a screen cap and report it.

Your just a prat, pure and simple.

I wisp someone suggesting not to buy a weapon which their spamming the chat channel wanting.

I wispered them with the full extend of "thats weapons not very good".

And that provokes them to spam me with noob continually for ages?

I say about 2 things back, being perfectly polite and not retaliating in a bad way.

I DIDNT wisp the person saying I didnt want to buy it. I was going to offer some advice. If they didnt want to listen to that, or talk to me, they only had to say so. There was absolutely no need to spam me with abuse.

But I suspect your the kind of person would do that though, going by your responce.

You need to honestly grow up mate if you think that is acceptable.

I was listening to your opinion until you made the absolutely stupid and moronic statement.

Meh. All I can say is that everything I've read from you is stupid and moronic.

You claim to have not offended anyone in the game, yet you feel free to do it on here? No wonder why people spam you and your ignore list is full.

If I see someone spamming WTS in all chat for whatever item or money, I never PM them to say you shouldnt be selling it in all chat for that much money or anything, it is annoying, and pointless.

Go find something else to do in the game other then complaining about what other people are trying to sell. Better yet, TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF ABUSIVE COMMENTS AND REPORT THEM INSTEAD OF IGNORING.

Oh btw... My ignore list is empty and no one spams me or anything. So yes it is purely your own fault if people are doing that.

/Signed

I hate dealing with them by just placing my status on "Do Not Disturb" or "Offline" which conflicts my chats with friends or when I'm buy/selling items.

If ive had a go at anyone in this thread, its the ones who has very blatenly suggested I have provoked any abuse ive recieved. Something I find very offensive for personal reasons.

But obviously going by the majority in this thread, most here feel its obviously too much of a big thing to do.

Thats fine. I respect peoples opinions, aslong as their not going to attack me and suggest I start any abuse or attacks that I recieve.

I still say its not a huge thing to add or ask for. So im leaving this now and my opinion has not been changed and Id say my point has been proven as to why we need an increase.

Especially by those who has expressly said they dont think anything wrong with someone spamming you with abuse for 10 minutes after just saying one thing to them.

This suggests to me that alot of people who have posted her would do just that to someone and spam them with unprovoked abuse.

Merry Christmas all.

And I can purely imagine what that advice was from someone that prefers -1 energy regen on an elly over +20% enchants lol. Something pointless and uncalled for maybe that provoked the response?

No one wants to hear your personal comments on their items or what there selling. If advice isnt asked for, dont bother giving it.

And this is only explaining one person that was spaming you. What about all the others? How did they get your character name to spam you in the first place? You must be doing or saying something that I dont ever do or say because I dont have this problem.

I have not encountered you before, but currently it seems to me like you are the very type of person most people wish to ignore, and the reason the ignore list should be at least slightly larger. When someone respectfully states in thier first post that they did not do anything to deserve bieng flamed, and stated the situation, it is not your job to automatically assume they are at fault. It is your job to show your viewpoint, and how it is logical, and why it may be more efficient than the other man's.
Instead of bieng mannerly and intelligently countering freekedout's statements, you purposely baited him and insulted nearly every word he had said and every view he expressed. I would hope that you were having a bad day, or perhaps were tired and misunderstood his posts. However, i doubt either one, since you spoke coherently and posted twice in the same manner.

Please refrain from doing anything like that again, and respect your fellow gamers. Others in this thread have simply skipped a portion of freeked's posts, but you either didnt even read a line or you didnt care, and niether is excusable. Especially since evidence points to the latter. Also, do not assume that anyone that has problems you dont is inferior, or must be at fault for them. Im sure you wouldn't appreciate it if you were blamed for someone robbing your house with it completely locked down.

Have a nice day,
Jinn Master
