    This thread is going straight on my ignore list.

    Why don't you ask for some "safe zones" in Stormwind/Orgrimmar while you are at it snowflake..........

    not true.... i know for a fact this is wrong a guildy has one toon on ignore and the other one not and they see the chat from it...... so stop saying stuff to just say it....

    Holy shit dude, how about you truly learn to ignore people as in not getting triggered by what you read? It works better than any addon.

    my pug descreption standard: pls know instance, affixes etc., no leavers, no hate, just fun! (i do use raider.io, but i dont explicitly state it in pug descr) i exlusivly use ignore as ultima ratio, when any constructive dialogue seems to be pointless due to the emotio-cognitive capacity of the subject.

    even though BFA seems to nurture much less toxicity (due to low grind in comparision to Legion), the outdated ignore function demands some Quality-of-Life improvements (i know about BadBoy, but another work-around-addon for a deficite of the games design that doesnt even ignore a complete bnet? my addon ram usage is 500mb, btw IgnoreMore and BadBoy often broke and bugged the igno list until deinstallment):

    - ignore capacity should be infinite or min. 4-5digit - i dont want to ever "socialise" with ignored pl again. the ignore list max of 50 sometimes (eg anal spammers and incels saturday nite) isnt sufficient to keep my WoW experience nice and fair.

    - ignore function should blacklist a battlenet account, not just a single toon - i dont want to ever "socialise" with ignored pl again, also not with their alts. (addons cant provide)

    - ignore function should be accountwide, not limited to the ignoring toon. whats the rationale for this? if i "dislike" a players behavior on one toon, i may accept it on another?

    - ignore function should disable LFD-grouping and sharding, an ignore is a very ultimate statement, i dont want those pl on my screen in my living room.

    for years i have been in this very situation to have to de-ignore toxic players to be "allowed" to ignore the current offenders.
    Dude...for fuck's sake...are you serious?

    Enough with this "toxicity" non-issue crap.

The fact that you cant is a remnant of the old, pre b-net times.

    Also, I find it funny that whenever the issue of toxic behavior in WoW is being raised, all the "true gamers" scream that it's not something the devs should waste time on, and instead people should use ignore lists...well there you have it, we want to use the ignore function, but it's unfortunately lacking in some respects.
    Well said.

    Some people have a limit to the amount of stupidity they are willing to put up with in online games. That's great if you don't, but you aren't everyone.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    Half of your suggests are easily abused. How about you just grow up?

    The game developers often put things in place to protect us against ourselves, this might be fairly close to an area where if someone is having trouble with that many people, they need that interaction to help them learn to cope with people. If you need to be able to ignore 99,999 people in the hopes of never seeing them again you're basically wanting to play on an empty server and just invite 3-4 of your friends over.

    This does sound like an actual problem and maybe addressing the problem is in the best interest of the player. This isn't a dismissve "Oh grow up" statement, it's a you really should work on this area of your life if it is that big of an issue statement

    I am, however, agreeing with you with the death threat issue - that as well as insulting people is something I would never tolerate in any group that I'm in and I'm always reporting such incidents to Blizzard.

    A game like World of Warcraft that you're mostly paying with real money - so Blizzard knows everybody's address and credit card number - does not really need a large-scale "ignore" list because virtually any actual abuse scenario can easily be handled by contacting Blizzard's support. They can not only take all the required steps to shut down somebody's account but to also involve the proper law enforcement authorities if necessary.

    The same thing applies to stalkers who will haunt you around different characters. That just does not happen unless you have given somebody a pretty damn good reason to do so. And even then, you can still report it to Blizzard and have their accounts shut down.

    No, you are not interested in any of those legitimate cases of abuse - all you care about is living in an echo chamber where nobody ever says anything you might even remotely deem offensive. You want special privileges for yourself and like-minded people to prosecute everybody else on super vague terms that are not in any way well defined and just up to somebody's personal interpretation.

    Even your word "toxic" is highly subjective - what's "toxic" to somebody is completely normal to somebody else.

    Your claim alone that you need to "ignore" at least a couple thousand people (4-5 digit) already strongly suggests that you're either suffering from paranoia or that you're attempting to abuse the system for subjective matters.

    See - problem solved.

    Not that it would matter anyways because the number of people who're actually going to log in another character just to haunt somebody is probably slim to non-existent. And most likely the other person also won't like to play with you again.
    Your first paragraph shows what a disgusting little brat you are if you really do find it to be amusing to screw people's keys like that.

    You assume Blizzard puts any concern whatsoever into the social aspect of their game, or that their programmers are worth a shit. Just look at the disgusting mess we got with the new Guild and Communities panel. That shit barely works right, and you want these assclowns tinkering around with one of the few things in the game that still works properly? Just no.
