- Overview:
I think the game's /Ignore function (When it works) could be vastly improved.

- Ideas:

That you cannot be selected by someone on your ignore list for trade or group invite.

An on screen warning when someone on your ignore list is being added to a group you are in.

An on screen message to tell you that your have been randomly picked into a group with someone on your ignore list and an option to 'temp' remove the ignore. (No need to ruin everyone elses game by dropping. So win in the arena and then drop before the next round! - Or maybe the ignored guy will actually have stopped being a fool!!!)

- Reasoning:
With the amount of idiots around, your ignore list can get quite long.
It is not practical to look through your entire list to see if anyone in your current group is on your list.
If the ignore feature is working correctly (Sometimes it doesn't anyway) then you will hamper your team if your not even seeing everyones text messages (as you have them on ignore and did not notice).
It's a pain to play half a mission and realise that the fool who keeps getting everyone killed seems familiar, just to find he is on your ignore list but you were not warned!
Having someone on your ignore list able to spam trade or group invite you - just to annoy you even more should be not allowed!

- Conclusion:
If the players are going to self police how they are effected by the general community then we need better tools. Reporting people to Arenanet is for when someone is being extreme to the point that everyone is being affected.
Some people are just plain annoying to others based on personality clashes and such tools would help improve gameplay for everyone, no matter what personality they have!

I've never had problems with potatoes, but that's because I play on international (ghost town). I've read so much about problems, and also so much that the ignore feature doesn't work well... that I think I should just agree with you on faith.

Been told the list can be a max of 25 people only as well... would like to see this vastly increased.

Agreed. 25 people for all of your lists is absurdly low.

Have you ever asked someone nicely to stop spamming the All channel? You're usually told "STFU I can do whatever I want!"

Why would I ever want to deal with someone like that?

Please fix ignore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
