Not that difficult

You trick a scammer (they want you to go outside, and you agree. They walk away, you drop a crappy item for example: Plagueborn Armour. the step in and pick it up, realise you tricked them and they spam yo with hate...)

Also, in PvP and Ursan PUGs, especially if you have a bad day monking, you can make alot of enemies for small things..

Having random people go "Oh hai! Remember me?" makes me feel bad when they aren't on my friends list <<; I seem to have a lasting effect on people :/

Also about the ignore list, I agree on increasing it, but mine isn't full so meh :P

Lol, he has an excellent point... if you don't want people contacting you... don't let them know who you ARE in-game. :P

Doesn' change anything really. I should still have the choice who can and cannot have contact with me in game, who can and cannot see whether I'm online or not.

There's a big difference between making new friends, which I don't have an issue with, and being spammed with random PMs from people you have never spoken to before, to join a guild just because it's got guild of the week. Better management of friends lists would solve that.

Actors and Musicians complain about how they can't go out in public like a real person without getting swarmed, but if they didn't have fans in the theater, they'd be even more upset.

You can't have it both ways, you can't be So-and-So from Really Cool Guild [RCG] and be anonymous too. It's the Price of Fame.

When you don't want to get phone calls from people you don't know, you don't list your phone number. If you don't want to talk to telemarketers, you screen your calls with an answering machine or caller ID. It's not that hard to screen your PMs.

I'm onboard with putting people on your ignore list for a few days and clearing the oldest ignores as time goes on. Eventually people get the hint.

i lol'd soo hard at that. QQing about random people contacting you when you splash your name everywhere.

epic

Unreal Havoc · Jul 19, 2008, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Its not QQ'ing. It's a simple suggestion that is implemented in most other online services. I don't mind if someone wants to chat to me, I'm hardly unsocial, but I should have the ability to control whether they get that far in the first place within the right boundaries. Whether someone knows my name or not, and whether they can actually see if I'm online or not without my permission are two totally different things and people here should not confuse the two.

After all you know my username on the forums here but that doesn't mean you can PM me or see my online status without me allowing you to, why should Guild Wars (or any online game for that matter) really be any different?

fireflyry · Jul 19, 2008, 05:10 PM // 17:10

I've never had this issue but then again I keep my in-game name, guild, etc pretty private other than one thread here which has never caused issue thus far.

If you post it on a public forum, youtube, in screenies, etc, you kinda shot yourself in the foot.

In saying I 100% agree with the OP.The communication and social mechanic of GW is open to abuse by haters.

Which is exactly what I'm trying to address. My own issues are easy to deal with by simply ignoring/blocking people, it doesn't bother me as much as some people here are led to believe. However it really shouldn't have to come to having to ignore other users or blocking them, that doesn't remedy anything, and not just for me, but for anyone. The system is fundementally flawed and does need reworking.

I very much doubt we'll see anything done for Guild Wars but I hope to see much improvement in the social system come Guild Wars 2.

Do you all go around and make enemies or something? If you need to /ignore someone, do it and take them off 2 weeks later.

It's not that people with full ignore lists make enemies, it's that people with their names on ten thousand ignore lists are purposely an ass to everyone.

Anyways, /sign for both the OP and the increasing of Ignore list. Getting random PMs from people I don't know is just... annoying (and I don't want to be an ass so I don't move them to my ignore list unless they bug me more then "hello")
