Since my original thread was locked without explanation I would like to here simply request that phasing be added to the /ignore function. This is, apparently, a thing in some other games. If you use /ignore not only do you no longer see that player's chat, you no longer see that player's CHARACTER. Obviously this would have to be turned off in Cyrodil but it would finally completely eradicate the ongoing problem of player harassment. Please consider this solution ZoS as player harassment by other players is now growing in scope. Thank you.

If you revisit the thread, some comments were removed.

Think they may intend to reopen it once it is fully sweeped.

Wait and see.

(Support your idea though; seeing as they should also have the power to merge this thread into your other one if it is properly unlocked).

Yeah, that was weird....no explanation either.

I thought it was a productive exchange and was just getting interesting too.

Thanks for getting it rolling, MornaBaine

Is seeing a persons character really bothering you that much?
What's the issue?

OK here's an example of why this would be a good thing. The first day the dye stations were implemented hordes of players surrounded them and constantly spammed bright flashy spells so people could not see what the colors looked like or even actually reasonably use the dye stations. This literally went on for days. Yes, there are OFTEN times when seeing another person's character is extremely bothersome. Especially when they do things like follow you around spamming spells and childishly whacking at you with their weapon over and over. Happens all the time to people. So, we need some simple tools to stop it. With this requested functionality in place I could not even see these people and they could continue to do whatever they wanted to do while being totally unaware that I don't even see them and they are having no impact. They get to have their jollies and I don't have to know they exist. Win-win.

Point is, you shouldn't have to.

Touche! Thanks for the detailed example, really shed light on a problem I never originally agreed with.

it certainly would be good, for EVERYONE if they added the ability to not only make a character on your ignore list be invisible to you (outside of PvP remember, not totaly. they still have to show up when you enter a PvP area)
if the bots ever come back, you can report them (assuming they arent doing the warp speed quest delivery shuffle lol, or the underground phase mining ect) then ignore em (till they get erased from high orbit)

but its not just RPers that could make use of the instance tech that MornaBaine and the other thread sugested.
Guilds could hold meetings without being distracted by things they *personaly* dont want to be distracted by.
hold after RAID parties and not see all the soon to be corpses from the justice system (lol)
trade guilds could all get together to talk serious business with no stealing visible.
if you wanted to make a 'how to' vid for you tube, you could place yourself in a single instance and show players exactly how to do things without the constant background spam of other players on your screen (tho you might have to remark about this so the new players watching dont think the areas are *that* empty all the time)

with a bit of imagination and the ability to phase your group into a chunk not being used, you can do all sorts of things, not just RP.
(and i have to say...'your death, brought to you by..roleplayers' a fantastic image ^^ thank you for that one)

Harrassement isnt a good thing but I would also like to be albe to put people on a list similar to ignore but it would be an ''unskilled'' list. This way there will be less harrassement because my teamate will stop ''harrassing'' the terrible healing we got because of the group finder.

True. I had this one player spin his horse around me while I was waiting for a group at a dungeon. I would move about 20 feet, he would follow. I finally ported somewhere.

However that is the only time I have been really griefed in the game. Other than the spell spamming in towns, but that is general purpose griefing. Most of that has gone away with the JS, so that stuff does not bother me anymore.
