Been playing ES0 for 7 years and never had a full 'ignore' list, mostly because I can usually ignore people without actually using it. In fact, I don't think I've ever used it on more than 2 or 3 people in all that time.

An overly used ignore list might indicate other issues, like being oversensitive or constantly doing/saying things that get other people fired up. Not really trying to victim blame here but if that many players annoy, hate or harass you, maybe you need to look a bit closer to home, or even find another game.

[snip] this is such a old and tired argument that has been addressed hundreds of times already...

People can ignore other people for whatever reason they want. You and I dont get to choose what that reason is. You and I cant tell other people if they are sensitive or that they are the problem on such a subjective topic. Sure, maybe in some situations but to blanket answer with "you must be sensitive" is pretty meh and ignores all the varied situations someone might want to block someone...

Some people could put up with a racist in zone chat. They can just ignore it or close zone chat. Some would say its enough to warrant a ignore. You, I and every unique individual will see it slightly different. Thus why it is subjective.

No, its not sensitive to just ignore people who are being toxic, rude or horrible. You and I dont get to tell people how much they need to put up with or how they should put up with it.

This is a really simple issue.

Its tiring to see people still using the "people who do bad things are not the problem... people who complain about people doing the wrong things are probably the problem". I am not going to waste anymore of my time explaining why when its pretty simple to understand without help...

Also this thread has been necroed hard. Just lock it and wait a few weeks for another, new one to open... [snip]
