Friends/Ignored list limit.

Curious_Death

Hello!
[snip] I think there is a BIG NEED to have at least 500 friends and whats more important IGNORED LIST expanded.
Played PVP and got alot of deathwishes, tbags - these ppl didnt got banned, at least pls let me ignore them coz after 5 yrs of playing ... my ignore list is full.
Imagine that accounts have unique track ID that CANNOT BE CHANGED - yes. Some toxic ppl playing PVP have alt accounts - where they input ur account with with note, example @mr.xyz - the soloplayer thats needs to be harassed for defeating us - 1 vs our 3 apes. I changed id and i was suprised getting whisper like : i know u re @mr.xyz we will never let u have fun and will always tryhard ur ..backbone. I think this way id change is pointless. Whats more important how ppl deathwishing some1 still playing? HOW YOU CAN EVEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THIS? My mom, family got cancer wishes and deaths - i reported ... quess what... i still see this ppl playing day after day. Why ppl who re skilled are treated like worst kind of players? Why the worst kind of toxic players are the one who re seen by most as best?

Only toxic behaviour I did ever encounter in PvP was in battlegrounds,however I can see that people who play a long time in cyrodiil do get this more often.I dont really know how many people you can have on the ignore list but friendlist is very limited yes and should get extended,and they could extended with it the ignore list as well.

Just clear out your ignore list and ignore the ones you encounter in the zone your in that are currently bothering you.

If you don't want to get rid of the entire list make sure to put a note next to the worst ones and leave them on your ignore list.

While removing the ones that just said something that annoyed you enough to put them on your list but have not hounded you freeing up space for the next such person you encounter.

The numbers in the game aren't that bad.

But: The ignore list for the forum needs to be a lot bigger. Right now it's only a bit more than a handful.

I wipe my ignore list once a week, seems to work. Plus I refuse to engage with vexatious people why give them what they desire. Ignore move on, make space.

Not sure how you play, but after 5 years of playing, I have no one on my ignore list. It could be worth making a new tab that doesn't show whispers (or zone chat, guild chat...whatever you don't feel like reading while engaged in whatever activity). Can't remember if that's a Pchat add-on thing though or standard. Yeah, when you change ID, there are ways to track the change (helps when guilds blacklist someone), but it's hard to imagine anyone in the game having to change their ID simply because they play well. Seems like an easy problem to solve using the suggestions provided without expanding the ignore list for the rest of the player population that is not facing a similar problem.

Other than that, would follow up on any reports you've made. If a couple players (again, can't imagine it's over 100 or more than even a handful) are griefing you, it's a violation of TOS, so follow up until you get a resolution. In the meantime, removing the others that didn't violate the TOS should free up plenty of space.

ye, i will needs to use some chat addons - and make own additional ignore list, but after 5yrs i have 271 ppl acc name saved as old friends who wasnt offline ~4 months since my friends list is full also.

Console gets 20 player block from piggybacking off PSN, I have repeatedly asked for a real ignore list on console like PC.

I do not need to block their PSN messages, just remove them from zone chat.

Over the years I have found that ignoring whispers during PvP takes care of the situation. They tend to move on and leave me alone if I do not reply.

Just a suggestion as it goes a long way to prevent needing to deal with an ignore list.

Agreed. The forum tools to prevent engagement from people you don't want to engage with are extremely limited and I've mentioned this specific issue to @ZOS_Kevin directly.

Chips_Ahoy

I'll never understand why that kind of thing affects some players so much, you don't even know it.

That kind of messages (death threats and cancer wishes) make me laugh.

I try to make them even angrier, it's very funny how they get mad at something as stupid as a video game.

I get hate whispers very rarely. They don’t bother me.

There are certain people in my faction in Cyrodiil that purposely post useless stuff to clog up zone text chat and make callouts constantly scroll off the screen. They purposely do it to interfere with communication and cooperation.

I can’t block more than 20 and that’s not enough.

Kusto

Hate whispers are the reason I pvp. Nothing more satisfying when they rage after I ganked them lol.

HumbleThaumaturge

I am disappointed that reports of Harassment result only in ZOS sending a robot-mail explaining that offending players may be placed on one's "Ignore" list. But that's their policy. (I would prefer that players who explicitly and provably violate the Terms of Service get banned for a few days.) As such, ZOS should definitely raise the limit of the Ignore List. When I play Cyrodiil PvP, I go "offline" to avoid all whispers. Unfortunately, this blocks whispers from friends and allies, as well as from annoying toxic players. But that's what's required, so that's what I do. As someone else mentioned: I also delete the entire Ignore List from time to time. That seems to work well. It seems that previously Ignored players frequently move on and are never encountered again. And also as someone mentioned: It is best that one never replies to toxic players. That's what they live for. They feel thrilled whenever they get a response. Don't give them a thrill: don't respond.

I agree that at least the ignore list's limit should be extended by quite a bit. Hitting 100 is super easy if you don't wanna see run sellers/foreign guild advertisements (bonus points if it's a language that has their own zone chat) every minute in zone chat. (Of course you can turn off the zone chat.. but if you enjoy having actual conversations in there, you're kinda F'd in that case.)

Sanctum74

Maybe stop calling people apes and you won’t get hate messages.

It makes total sense to me that you have managed to fill up your ignore list after reading that.... thing.... As someone with zero people on my ignore list despite mainly doing PvP and getting a fair share of hate whispers from people I kill or annoy because nightblade, I feel sorry for you and your need to be offended. The game does not need a bigger ignore list, if you have 500 people on it that's an indicator that you're the problem, not the 500 people you've ignored.

Ratzkifal

Two of my guild disbanded and in order to stay in contact with everyone who was still playing, I added them as friends. Having to fit two guilds into my friendlist makes it really difficult to add new people you meet every day.

Also once you start using the ingame notes for everyone, it's actually really easy to remember all 100 of your friends, what you did with them and how you met etc. The majority of my friendslist still plays actively and the ones that don't are IRL friends.

Make it 200 at least.

SilverBride

I don't have anyone ignored so I can't check this myself, but when you hover an ignored player's name does it show how long it's been since they logged in last like the friends list does? If so you could safely remove players who haven't logged on for a long time.

whitecrow

500 friends?? I just trimmed my list down to about 20. There were so many who friended and then I never heard from them again.

I've only ignored one person, a guildie who was unbearable.

Soulshine

to be honest, the only people I have on ignore list are the people spamming weapon / trial run / title sells in any zone where I encounter them. Pvp whispers don't bother me in the slightest, since well... that is just the way a lot of pvp goes sometimes.

But the spamming sellers? I have already hit the ignore max amazingly, so yeah I would be happy to see this increased.
