Remove ignore list limitation
Ira Blinks
Im sure this has already been addressed many times in related threads, but still this issue deserves its own discussion.
Yesterday I submitted yet another violation report to the guildwars support about some guy who was massively spamming his WTS message in ToA using spambot technique. Today I got automated response that they "did something, but wont tell me what exactly" and advising me to use ignore option when someone annoys me. Now this is BS for two reasons:
1) Later today i was in ToA and THE SAME FREAKIN GUY WAS SPAMMING HIS SHIT AGAIN!!! I did not have time to take proper screenshot because my group was off to FoW in seconds, but even if I would - what would change?
2) 10 people limit on ignore list is some sort of joke. There are virtually hundreds of people who I would love to ignore and I cant.
What it comes down to is how stupid this situation is. Why should i waste 20 minutes of my life to do a screenshot, resave it as jpeg, open and login to support site, upload file and write a description... all that for every idiot out there? Why cant i just click and say ignore? Why even have all those rules that supposed to punish people for using spambot or abusive language, when it can easily be handles by players themselves?
Just gives us proper tools for it! There is no need to waste support resources. No need to punish. There is no need for anything... Just give us ability to effectively shield ourselves from local chat sellers!
I dont care if offender gets banned or not, I really dont. All I care about is that he is disrupting me trying to form a mission/farming group... not tomorrow, not in an hour, or whenever support decides to look at my submission... NOW!
Enough said. Remove ignore list limit.

that's one solution.
Another would have Anet get their moderators to ban bots when THEY see them... if they have moderators.
I'd rather go all out and have an automatic boot feature if the player avoids the "your message has been supressed...."

I dont understand why so many people are annoyed so easily. You know how many people are currently on my ignore list? 1. And I'll probably remove that person soon. I rarely ever see the same people over again in pve. The only time I put someone on ignore is when they spam my whispers. There is no other reason to do it. You can just ignore them without the ignore button.

Kool PJs, you are absolutely right about that. This is just a game so why let it bother you like it's someone in a WalMart yelling I LOVE CHICKEN SOUP over and over. If that happened, though, I'd probably kick his ass, but I digress. Just turn off the Pub chat for a while or just don't go to D1 of the major trading ares.

Perhaps people with half a brain will eventually realise that by turning off 'all chat' your sorta eliminating the chance of finding a group advertising for people, not that you Americans would actually know what dis 1 ToA is like when you have the favour

I don't see why you can't just ignore them, I can do it, and I still see most of the LFG and GLF messages.

Funny thing... I reopened support ticket that day and said that guy is spamming again. After that ticket got closed again... No reply, nothing - just closed. WTF?!

On all 4 of my accounts.
With the addition of the expansion, I have seen an influx of people that should not be allowed on the Internet. Once you make my Ignore list, your there permantly.
Is Uber Spamsalot still in game from day 1? Don't know, don't care, can't see him.

Unfortunately, GW does not have Game Masters or in-game Admins. They do, however, have many players in the company who spot these things as they're playing, and report them like anybody else would.
GW needs game masters. I have never seen a worse gaming environment since Diablo 2 and its hackers appeared. Asholes make this game not worth playing. If everyone in GW knew what "kindness" was, I would have ten times more fun playing it.
Until they do that somehow, a larger ignore list would be useful, and take up almost no space on their servers.
I myself have a list of about 200 complete idiots or morons I have run into over the past year.

bleh, guild wars need servers with age separation if you ask me, too many idiotic young kids who just learned how to swear love their racist terms, stupid comments, and cusses... there should just be a server where only 18+ is allowed or something

ehh,, yc525.. do you know the ages of people that play GW or the average age of GW players... this would make me mad for one cuz im 15, and many other younger players.... your idea is total BS... you cant come here cuz ur underage.. lol its a game... not a damn club, also many people would sooner or later feel like crap not being able to use those *speciak* districts and stop playing GW = bad business tactics

If you didn't even have time to tap the screenshot button, you certainly didn't have enough time to be annoyed and warrant a silly complaint. More ignore slots is a good idea, but I believe some of these reasons are just stupid.

being offended only means that you one of those "idiotic kids". I think it is pretty obvious what he meant...
SnoopJeDi
I did before. I only said that to underline that NOTHING has been done. ANet support is simply ignoring those complaints. I can not blame them because GW does not have monthly fee. But I can blame them for not giving players ability to moderate what they can see in chat.
Also how is my complaint silly? And why are my reasons stupid?
I want to block people, not shut them up. I dont care if they spam all day. I just dont want too see that, same as many people I would like to communicate with to form a group.

I'd prefer to be the one player that gets a /banplayer option, I'd fix the game.
But I must confess, there would fewer people playing...alot fewer...infact there prolly wouldn't be more than 2 D's in any given city.
*grumble grumble* I guess I'd settle for a larger ignore list.

those who are ignoring ppl without ignore button: Good job
those who use the botton, should be able to use it more then for 10 ppl

That and all those that are actually sensible would be a bit left out been grouped with the morons...
It took me soooo long to decide to start using my ignore list, now if i actually could i'd just put them calmly on my ignore list rather than spamming them back for a while.

I too see the same people in the same towns week after week spamming their goods. Or just hang out in any busy town and you'll see racist comments or just plain rude talk or talk about illegal type subjects. Even if they don't have moderators in town, they should have those who check the character names and delete the ones that are offensive (giving a warning so they can move their stuff).

I would agree if you can ignore without the ignore feature good for you. However, I don't have a clue why you would have to limit this to only 10 ppl. I wish mine was never ending... I guess I'm picky about who I play with and try to use this list as a reference of those that are really bad ppl. The way I look at it is that I paid for the game, why I can't a play it in peace?
However, I don't bother anyone... for the most part I'm passive (I've had ppl try to flame me, but I just ignore it so I don't waste my energy on them). Therefore, I don't agree with the rational that people with large ignore lists are the ones that are usually offending ppl. There's just a lot of ill mannered ppl anywhere in this world, not just the game.

Ok, just to clear this up to the OP.
When someone gets reported for a violation or whatever, he get's a 1 hour ban, next time it triples like 3 hours or something (unsure about the exact detail), and eventually if he gets around 5 violations, his account will be banned forever.
How do I know? My friend had an extra account, instead of giving it over to me, he decided to piss some people off with it.
