You can add notes to your ignore list now (I don’t think that was a thing before or maybe I didn’t notice). Anyway, I purged my ignore list and now add a note with the date and maybe a word or two when I ignore someone. I figure most won’t be around six months to a year from now or I can always re-add them. On the rare occasion it’s personal, I put that in the note and they can stay there. It does not seem a problem to me.

On the contrary, I’d rather expand my friends list as I would keep people there even long inactive so that if they do come back, I could welcome them and help them get back into the game!

I am aware and have done the same (dating and info etc). However I still think the ignore list should be increased or uncapped. I also think the friends list should be increased or uncapped.

Y'all need to install the AdBlock Plus addon to auto-filter guild/buyer spam without ignoring the player posting it.

I personally dont care about guild recruiting and buying/selling in zone.

I would rather a in game feature. Also some people cant use addons.

The ignore list on the forum needs to be a bit bigger. 12 people is hardly anyone at all.

The forum ignore list doesn't help all that much. It only minimizes the ignored player's post, but you can still open and read it. It does stop them from leaving private messages but that's never been an issue for me.

Interesting. I have never ignored anyone on the forum. I do think 12 is a very low number. Forum ignores should be increased as well it seems. As a side note (this is not directed at you but instead at the other people in this thread). I have never ignored anyone on the forums. I dont think I will ever need to use that feature. However I am completely okay with the forum ignore list being increased since it does not effect me in any way. Its really not that hard. I am not going to sit here and reply with flawed arguments like "I dont use the forum ignore list so why do you?" and I defiantly dont use the worst argument of them all "Well since I dont ignore people and you do I will assume you are probably the problem. Most of the people you ignore probably did nothing wrong". Its really not that hard to do... It wont hurt anyone.

My suggestion is be more selective on who you put in your ignore list. Also you can ignore people more ways then using an ignore list. When people say dumb things, I just stop reading chat when their name comes up.

Each to their own. I hand out ignores to anyone who is being a problem. I dont hesitate and dont care about putting up with it or ignoring it myself by avoiding chat etc. Click and done. No need to ignore chat or bother with it again. Add a note and move on. I dont put up with bad behaviour.

In my experience the person doing the ignoring so much that the ignore list is a big problem is generally a problem themselves. I don't think developers want people ignoring their entire base over very petty things and then having to work through any issues that person may cause themselves like being unable to find groups.

Ignoring doesn't do anything in ESO except for blocking that user from communicating with you, or removing them from your chat feed, though.

As far as I know you can still wind up in group with someone you've ignored.

If the groupfinder were that complex, I think you'd have a good point that it can't be checking a ton of variables for everyone. But I don't think groupfinder is that complex.

Yeah. It not affecting group finder to my knowledge is a point in its favor. But there are definitely people who would block tons of people over the slighest things and then waste everyone's time whenever they are in groups (if they even find them) because they have so much of the group blocked.

I have had those kinds of bad experiences in other games a long time ago when ignore lists used to be huge and every time it was because the person doing the blocking added people at a drop of the hat. They wouldn't even know why they blocked someone but now it's a whole thing. And it was definitely a group morale killer. Also some people used to handle abusive stuff by blocking only instead of reporting.

Nowadays most games I play the ignore lists are small, and I can't help but think that those types of things are the reason.

I think a lot of devs nowadays try to give people some kind of ignore list that allows them to avoid people that they get on with like oil and water, despite the person not doing anything super abusive. But, they don't give them big ones because they want people to be more selective than someone blocking at every minor annoying thing and then ending up causing problems with groups ESPECIALLY when it effects their various matchmakers (that last point is not the case with this game to my knowledge).

[snip] if someone in your words has blocked too many people for no reason and are now suffering grouping issues from it they can live with it. Their choice. They can unblock people to fix it or continue with what they want to do. You are essentially saying "those people I disagree with shot themselves in the foot and now I need to fix their foot". No... they can live with it or change. This is all pointless anyways... No-one would block enough people to have it actually effect their gameplay when the games player base numbers are so high... Blocking 100 or 1000 people wont change anything in terms of grouping or game function... it only changes one thing... it gives players the ability to ignore bad behaviour and enjoy the game more...

Kindness definitely goes a long way.
Are you sure that you're not bringing some negativity to the table in instances resulting in blocking?
Really, there aren't that many people doing outrageous enough things to fill the list completely.
Evidently, people who fill up their lists are probably doing so due to minor infractions.
Never had a problem with this myself.

No-one has to follow your definition of what is ignore worthy. Simple. [snip] If the ignore list is increased you can still ignore zero people for all I care... Some people dont want to put up with x y and z and that's their choice. Do I ignore people for much lighter reasons than other people? Yes. I also think a lot of people put up with bad behaviour when they shouldn't need to. I also think the eso community has a horrible habit of vilifying people who call out bad behaviour more than vilifying the people who DID the bad behaviour. Its all subjective opinion. Thus we should all get to ignore who and how many people we choose to ignore...

How big is ignore list limit anyway? I think the most people I had on it simultaneously is like, 5. And I purge it regularly. Who cares what some dunce said in zone chat months ago.

100.

Responding to this stuff is pointless... its the same tired arguments every time...

The easiest way to put your suggestion forward is to go in-game and type /feedback. Then you just enter the details of what you would like them to read.

My suggestion, is that if you want to create a community discussion on the forums, then you should try to listen to the perspectives other people have taken the time to share with you. That is the whole point of making one of these threads: an idea is brought forward, and people talk about it.

So, /feedback might be the better option for you.

Read the thread replies. Why would I bother caring about that. The majority of people here are saying you should put up with bad behaviour or that anyone who wants to avoid it is probably the problem and not the people who they want to ignore.

[snip]

Your above /feedback idea is great. It has been done. This thread was purely designed to join the other threads asking for the same thing. ESO has a habit of ignoring these ideas until it has been floated for a very long time. Thus this thread was to contribute to that. I have no intention of listening to the community which has already proven it cares more about the players who do meh behaviour than the players who just want to avoid it.

Sadly we are the minority on this topic. Most people would rather say we are the problem because we dont want to put up with bad behaviour.

More than supporting the uncapping for ban list, this information should be used for something more than just hiding their lines from chat. For example, this information should/could be used to prevent us from getting them as a PUG match. Or as on the extreme side, even hide this person from the zone instance we are in.

I agree. I think we shouldn't be queued into the same groups as well. I think we should be able to manually group though. I often end up in trial groups with people I have ignored. I dont control who the leaders bring and I shouldn't be able to. Its not my group. If it was my group I could pick. However if someone else is lead its more than fair they bring who they want without my ignore list stopping them.
