This might seem a bit redundant, but I would love it if Anet would let us ignore/block more than 10 people at once.
Anyone else agree?

If you have a conflict with someone and ignore him, why can't you remove the ignore after a few days or weeks? Everytime someone kept spamming me, I just ignored him for several hours and he never bothered to whisper again later on when I removed him from the ignore list.

My ignore list has been full for almost 2 years now, mostly by bitter rejects. The most annoying ones are those with multiple accounts.

I can give you atleast 3-4 names of people who pm me on a regular basis if I take them off ignore if it weren't against GW rules or w/e.
1 of those is a regular poster here and in my alliance.
And I have around 8 ppl who are permanent fixtures on the ignore list because they're the ones, who over time, just dont stfu.

a few more wouldnt hurt but really if youve filled it you should empty it, im sure the people forget about you after some time.

I have 7 people on perma ignore because everytime I take them off they whisper me. Ive had them on there for about 6 months or so now.
Even after a month of ignore I have tried taking them off and shortly after they whisper.
Increase would be great.

But there are some incredibly annoying people that think they are your friend, even after they know they've been on ignore for the past 6 months. It's especially annoying having creeper guys following me around (yay female?). There are certainly enough of them where I'd rather just "/ignore XX" instead of telling them to fkcu off and have to deal with spam regarding: a) their 12 year old questions about what was wrong with their behaviour b) immature rage.
It'd also be nice to have the Friends part extended, too. There's a lot of people I'm friends with that I can't put on my list and have to rely on them PMing me. I like keeping a certain portion of inactive people on my list because they were such good friends that I'd love to chat with them again if they ever sign back on.

You guys need to stop being so incredibly sensitive, it's a video game for christ's sake. Put someone on your ignore and take them off in a week, done deal. Damn.
And if people care so much to wait for you to appear online every day of their lives, try dropping the pompous carebear attitude to make players even more sensitive than you hate you with such a burning obsessive passion. Although i seriously doubt that.

Its not really needed, I don't meet ten people I want to ignore in any given week.
I find as others have said if you ignore someone for a day or so they go away for good.
Besides your larger list would just be clogged up with people who have no intention of calling you again and indeed those who have given up on the game, passed the account onto a family member and so on.
You of course would never know this so when the larger list was full would have no idea who to remove to add others.
I would prefer an accept list of people I meet who seem ok and who I wouldn't mind calling me again that would give me 3 lists of ok people to work with.
Guildies and associated guilds
Friends
and others I have adventured or traded with.
other improvements I am hoping for.
A couple more channels to free up general of some of the dross you could even have a trash talk channel esp for those who just want to spout garbage to each other.
Or you could make general chat have a proximity some of these people must be yelling really loud I can hear them accross an entire town.

I think the number of people you want to ignore would depend on the number of people you come into contact with given a certain period of play. If, for instance, you do 35 UW SCs in a week (5 per day, which isnt too high a number) and you pug those, you would meet a LOT more people ingame than you would if you spent a week just vanqushing areas and skill capping.
Just because something holds true for you doesn't mean its true for everyone else.

I've had ppl use trial keys just so they would be able to pm me after I put their main account on my ignore list. One guy made no less than 5 trial accounts so he would be able to bug me, and I had to add each and every one of them to my ignore list till I ran out of space. Yes, crazy psychopaths do exist, bitter long term hater do exist; and increasing the ignore list length is a decent way of dealing with it.

I'd like also a 'temporary' ignore list, like the Trade and Party ones, so you can ignore just for one season and it doesn't need to be stored and taking room.
Reverend Dr
How to ignore someone: Do not respond to them. (note: sending them messages, going offline, or setting them to ignore when they are messaging you is responding to them)
They are trolls and they are looking for a response. By putting them on ignore you are telling them that you are irritated by them, asking them to continue. However, by simply not responding when they message, you are not giving them a response and they will move on to find a new and fun target.
I don't understand why people still haven't learned to deal with trolls.

Not signed. Someone else has probably said this already but just take people off after a while. Perhaps a few hours, I've never encountered someone who actually takes it to an extreme and carries it on longers then a day. If you need to ignore a full list of people every day then you should really look at your own behaviour and how you can fix it.

Not everyone that has people on ignore is doing something wrong.
There are people out there that have no life.
I have 7 names on perma ignore sad thing is that 5 of the names are the same person.
I have taken his name off ignore after a month and within a day I get many PMs. It gets annoying. And don't tell me to put it on dnd because I have people on my friends list that I DO want to talk to which I cant. Also cant just "not reply" to someone to get them to stop. This guy with 5 accounts is pathetic and will spam whisper making it very difficult to talk to others. The last 3 spots are for temp ignores which I use alot because of RA/TA another 10 slots of just temporary ignores would be fine.
These temp ignore slots can be like the recent team slots where it clears itself once you close out of GW.

Whatever you did to irritate the guy in the first place was what you did wrong. If you hadn't ignored him in the first place, it would have been over long ago.
Also, I guarantee that you are exaggerating the problem. Someone will not just keep sending whispers over and over for hours without any type of response. Well, that is unless they see this post and know the posting name in relation to in-game name; if this is the case you just fueled them even more.
Don't feed the trolls. Talking back always feeds them, whether in-game or posting on forums, any sign that you are being caused distress encourages them. Reporting them generally only encourages them, tempbans almost always encourage them. Ignoring them or going to dnd encourages them, it just usually makes them find a new target. This one has learned (and you let him learn) that you cannot stand even a few whisper spams (how you can make it through standing in LA or Kamadan I do not know). It is going to be much harder to deal with it now, but trust me if you just legitimately ignore him for a while he will go away.
EDIT: Oh wait, I'm sorry the especially worst thing to do is to put them on ignore or dnd then mock them. "reported," "ignored," or any other last second burn will do this. This is how you really give someone a vendetta.

Sorry, Reverend but you're wrong on this one. There's some really sick and disturbed people that exhibit behavior like in the post above yours. I never heard of any in GW but have come across a few both offline and online (strangely, it's mostly in MMO type games). Ignoring these seemingly rare types of people instead of cutting complete contact with them (online) often only escalates the situation further.
You also don't know the circumstances behind their case so there's no way to determine that they did anything "wrong" to irritate anybody. That's quite an egregious assumption.

2. I was not exaggerating at all so what do I get for your gaurantee?
3. And I can't stand LA or Kamadan which is why local and trade is always off.
4. Don't assume things, you know what they say about that.
5. I have "legitimately" ignored him he does NOT go away.
He started with the pms because I wouldnt respond in an RA match because as I said I keep local off and when he whispered me I didnt respond then because of the way he was talking. I dont deal with people like that.
So as I said I didnt do anything. And if you think that me not responding makes it my fault well...oh well. I play GW to have fun I shouldnt have to deal with people I dont want to deal with.

First let me prefice this by saying Anet's ignore function is terrible. There is no reason what-so-ever to tell the person being ignored that they are being ignored.
And this is your problem. Your skin is far too thin to be on the internet. There will be spam and trash talking (especially in a competitive based game).
No you have not. I know trolls, I know the worst of them. I am one. My whole guild and its spur off guilds (well over 500 people at our peak) were trolls. He was not just sending empty whispers over and over without getting some sort of satisfactory response back from you.
If this is the exception, then this is the only exception. Sorry that you got the only person that gets set off for no reason and holds a vendetta for years.
Aha!
Unfortunately when you go online or play an online game you have to deal with the populous of that game. There are tons of people I don't want to have to deal with, but that is the way things are.
What I am trying to do is to get people to look at it from a different way. People that are more laid back or just able to let things pass over (Scf Blacknight's last post for example) have little trouble from others and no use for the ignore function. Conversly people that are high strung use it, and demand more: more policing, more attention, and more leeway for themselves.

I for one choose to not deal with stupid and annoying people which is why this will be the last response I give to you.
I am actually very laid back and I remain that way BECAUSE I choose to ignore these types of people. I have these people in my real life I play a game to get away from it and have fun. Who are you to tell me that I should just deal with these people? Nobody that is who.
More ways to not have to deal with them would not hurt anyone but could benifit actually.

If you actually need more than 10 slots in this game when you have your Local -AND- Trade chat off at all times you are wound up WAY too tight or are way too thin-skinned to be online, especially in a free MMO.

I keep local + trade off, usually because I'm engaging in PMs, and if I'm in a busy town, they scroll off the screen too quickly, or I may miss them because of the clutter. I don't think people who keep those off are necessarily anti-social scrooges. It simply is just mindless chatter that is 100% irrelevant to most people in the district.
As for the 10 slots, I have a person who own multiple accounts on one list, and that person takes up as many as 4 slots. Then there are other people who I simply do not wish to talk to, but if I ever take them off, they start spamming me again. Maybe I should increase my tolerance for 10-14 year olds? I dunno!
